Clinics and hospitals in Dubai need doctors who hold or can obtain a DHA license. Recruitment often targets candidates who are already license-eligible or willing to complete the DHA process. Verifying credentials and license status early avoids offers that cannot be fulfilled.

The process typically involves defining the role and specialty, sourcing candidates (direct or through recruitment partners), verifying qualifications and DHA eligibility, supporting the candidate through licensing if needed, and then onboarding (visa, contract, orientation). Employers should factor in licensing timelines when planning start dates.

We support both employers and doctors: we help facilities find license-eligible talent and guide doctors through DHA licensing so they can join on time.
