UAE plans forming a specialised recruitment agency

Dubai, Sep 25 (UNI) UAE is planning to set up a specialised company to recruit skilled and semi-skilled workers from India and other countries.

Such a company, which would be set up by next year, will also help put an end to reported maltreatment of expatriates and non-payment of wages.

Labour Minister Dr Ali bin Abdullah Al Ka'abi said if the experiment succeeds more such ventures would be considered as it would lead to competition and also improve quality of work.

He said the ministry has received many offers from recruiting agencies in this regard, the Gulf News reported.

The specialist company would put to an end to the flow of expatriate workers brought here on false promises by recruiting agencies which take huge amounts of money from them.
