Hire Indian Cleaning & Facility Staff for the UAE
Commercial cleaners, housekeepers, scrubber-drier operators, façade and high-level cleaners, pantry attendants and supervisors for facilities management firms and cleaning contractors serving offices, malls, hospitals, schools and residential communities.
Soft Services Depend on Retention
A cleaning contract in the UAE is priced per head and judged on audits, so the contractor’s margin depends on two things: keeping every position filled and keeping people long enough to know the site. High turnover means constant retraining, missed scores and, eventually, a lost renewal. Recruiting employees of your own from India, rather than rotating short-term labour, is how many facilities companies stabilise a contract.
We recruit for companies only — cleaning contractors, facilities management providers, hospitality groups and institutions. We do not place domestic workers in private households; that category is regulated separately in the UAE and in India and falls outside our service. Candidates come from housekeeping teams in Indian hotels, hospitals, airports, malls and IT parks, with large numbers from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Kerala and the north-eastern states.
Roles We Deploy
Why UAE Facilities Companies Recruit Cleaners From India
- Candidates with institutional housekeeping experience already follow checklists, dilution rules and colour-coded equipment
- Grooming, punctuality and attitude are screened at interview, because cleaners work in front of tenants and visitors
- Supervisors who can complete an audit sheet in English and brief a team in Hindi are recruited alongside the crew
- Healthcare cleaners are selected from hospital backgrounds instead of being retrained from general cleaning
- Employment on your own permits supports multi-year service, which is what audit scores reward
Contract Award to Fully Staffed Site
Describe the property type, shift times, machines and chemicals in use, and whether staff face the public. A useful demand letter states weekly rest day, accommodation and transport arrangements, uniform provision and any female-staff requirement with its housing plan.
Candidates demonstrate basic tasks — mopping systems, washroom sequence, machine handling — and are assessed on appearance and communication.
Signed offer letters lead to work permit approval under your establishment and entry permits, while we process Indian emigration clearance.
Medical, Emirates ID and the labour contract are completed, then your site trainer covers method statements and client rules before deployment.
Pay, Conditions & Timeline
Cleaning is a low-margin, labour-heavy business, and UAE law leaves the wage itself to the contract. Employers in this sector normally provide shared accommodation and transport and pay a basic wage with a food allowance, with separate rates for machine operators, high-level cleaners and supervisors. Because overtime, leave pay and gratuity are tied to basic wage, a package that looks adequate in total can still fail India’s minimum referral wage test or cause disputes later; we check the split before the offer is issued. The employer pays every recruitment, visa and ticket cost, and deducting them from wages is unlawful.
Mobilisation for Gulf employers generally falls within 1 to 25 days once permits exist, given as a range without guarantee. Salaries must go through the Wage Protection System, employer-funded health insurance is compulsory, and staff must be subscribed to the unemployment insurance scheme — late or short payment is quickly visible to MOHRE.

Employer FAQs
Do you supply housemaids or other domestic workers?
No. We recruit only for companies and institutions. Domestic work in private homes is governed by separate rules and licensed channels, and we do not offer it.
Can cleaners work outdoors in summer?
Outdoor tasks in direct sun are restricted during the midday hours of the summer period announced by MOHRE each year. Schedule external cleaning for early morning or evening and keep staff on indoor duties in between.
Do rope-access or cradle cleaners need local certification?
Yes, in practice. Building owners and authorities expect recognised training and equipment certification for work at height, arranged in the UAE after arrival. We look for candidates with prior experience to make that step straightforward.
How large must an order be?
There is no fixed minimum. Many contractors begin with one site’s team and repeat the order when a new contract is won.
