About MenaWorkforce
What kind of organisation is MenaWorkforce?
An international recruitment agency. We recruit candidates from across the MENA region and place them with employers in Europe, handling the screening, documentation and travel that sits between the two.
Are you a job board?
No. A job board publishes vacancies and leaves you to apply to each one. We match a single CV against employer briefs as they arrive, screen candidates before anyone is put forward, and prepare the paperwork the destination country requires.
Do you work with employers, candidates, or both?
Both, through one process seen from two sides. Employers send a brief describing the roles they need; candidates send a CV once. The two are matched against each other.
Where do the candidates come from?
The MENA region, with North Africa the main source. Candidates are placed into Europe, not recruited from it.
Where to start
I am an employer. What is the first step?
Send a brief through Request Talent if the requirement is clear, or book a consultation first if it is still taking shape. Neither commits you to the other.
I am a candidate. What is the first step?
Submit your CV once. The Candidates section answers the detailed questions about applying, screening, interviews and arrival.
How do I find information about a specific country or sector?
Every destination has its own page under Countries, and every sector has one under Industries. Each sets out the roles and the hiring pattern for that specific case.
Which guide should I read first?
If timing is your concern, start with Seasonal Workers in Europe. If pay is, start with Seasonal Job Salaries in Europe. Otherwise the employer and candidate guides are the practical ones.
What this site does not publish
Why are there no pay rates on the site?
Rates are set per placement by the employer and appear in the written offer, so publishing one number here would mislead most readers. The seasonal salaries guide sets out the six things that determine it.
Why are there no placement numbers or success rates?
We would rather describe what we actually do than publish a statistic we cannot evidence. Where this site states a number — seven sectors, eight destinations, five languages, six process steps — it is something you can check against the pages themselves.
Is the guidance here specific to my situation?
No. These guides are evergreen and general by design. Anything specific to a placement — dates, pay, term, site, documentation — comes in the brief or the written offer.
Still not answered?
Ask directly. Employers can also start with a brief, and candidates with a CV.
