What Our Clients Say

In their own words — from clients we have worked alongside for years, not months

Ahmed Al-Kahtani

Ahmed Al-Kahtani

HR Director, Saudi Industrial Group

We needed 35 certified technicians at our KSA facility and almost no time to find them. Mena Group had every one of them documented, cleared and on site within 21 days — and every one of them could do the job.

Nikhil Sharma

Nikhil Sharma

VP Operations, Petrochemical Corp. India

Twelve years and several countries later, they are still the first call we make. They understand how our industry works, and their network reaches places our own recruiters simply cannot.

James Mathews

James Mathews

Fleet Manager, Pacific Shipping Co.

Their crew management is the best we have used. Medicals, visas, travel, paperwork — the entire mobilisation for our fleet was taken off our hands, and the details were never wrong.

Priya Mehta

Priya Mehta

Operations Head, Gulf Hospitality Group

Their support teams have become part of how our facilities run day to day. They answer quickly, they work professionally, and they have never once left us short on compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions clients ask us most, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, get in touch and we'll answer it directly.

What industries does Mena Group serve?

We recruit for shipping and maritime, defence, hospitality, facility management, oil and gas, petrochemicals, construction, healthcare, aviation and manufacturing. Thirty years in these sectors means we know their certifications, their hiring cycles, and the roles that are genuinely hard to fill.

How quickly can Mena Group fulfil a recruitment requirement?

For standard profiles, expect a shortlist within five to seven working days. Bulk and specialist mandates depend on volume and destination — at our fastest, we have taken 35 candidates from brief to on-site in under 21 days.

Which countries does Mena Group place candidates in?

More than 20, concentrated across the Middle East — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain — along with South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa. Our IATA-accredited travel desk handles the mobilisation logistics for all of them.

Does Mena Group handle visa and documentation processing?

Yes. Visas, medical clearances, attestation and every pre-deployment formality are handled by our own documentation team — so paperwork is never the reason a joining date slips.

Is Mena Group certified and compliant?

Yes. We hold ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 27001:2013 for information security, and OHSAS 18001 for occupational health and safety. We are also DUNS registered and operate an IATA-accredited travel desk.
