Connect Group continues its impressive growth in the UAE
United Arab Emirates, June 2023 – Since launching in 2016, Connect Group has become a force in the UAE business solutions market, helping companies thrive in this highly competitive and ever-evolving landscape. Now, Connect Group continues to build on its success with further expansion into key industry sectors and services, offering clients a full suite of staffing, HR and management resources.
Aaron Portero, Managing Director of Connect Group says, “By providing an extensive range of professional services under one roof, Connect Group is better able to support our clients’ needs. We now offer a seamless experience across all facets of business management, from navigating the company establishment process in the UAE to filling short-term labour needs.”
Skilled staff on demand
One of the key areas of growth for Connect Group has been ConnectStaff, the UAE’s newest on-demand labour agency. Specialising in highly skilled professionals, ConnectStaff now boasts 3,000 employees on its payroll, covering all facets of the skilled workforce, from IT and HR support staff to healthcare, finance and hospitality professionals. With access to a large talent pool of skilled workers, ConnectStaff is able to offer scalable staffing solutions for its clients, from short-term hires to extended contracts.
“I believe the industry of staff outsourcing is really old fashioned,” says Aaron. “Whereas most of our competitors rely on third-party systems, we have developed our own innovative systems in-house, allowing us to streamline the onboarding process, payroll, insurance and all related services, providing our clients with an unrivalled experience.”
Intuitive HR services
Recognising a gap for HR software with a UAE focus, Connect Group launched ConnectHR, a Human Resource Management System (HRMS) that provides integrated Cloud HR and payroll solutions for local businesses.
“ConnectHR is a project that’s really skyrocketing for us. It’s making a lot of noise in the industry and we’re acquiring a good market share,” says Aaron. “In an ever-evolving marketplace like the UAE, employers need to be agile and aware of the nuances of local regulations. That’s where we can help, providing full-service HR management solutions that are UAE-compliant, scalable, and easily integrated.”
From cloud-based payroll to health insurance, automated HR services, and a mobile app for employee self-service, ConnectHR simplifies the HR process for both employers and their staff. Connect HR offers measurable savings in costs and time for businesses, while improving employee engagement via exclusive benefits and enhanced record-keeping at a glance.
Primed for future expansion
Looking ahead, Connect Group is targeting more areas of growth in the UAE, expanding into the skilled facilities management industry, the IT sector, software development and digital marketing roles. These have been identified as key areas of growth in the UAE and GCC, with digital transformation experts, digital marketers, cybersecurity experts, data analysts and software developers among the most in-demand roles in the UAE in 2023, according to a recent job prospect survey by LinkedIn.
“It’s an exciting time for Connect Group,” says Aaron. “With our passion for innovation and a range of new services and projects in the pipeline, we’re looking forward to continued success and growth in the UAE.”
