As a non-HR professional navigating the world of HR over the past years I have had the help of some excellent HR staff, you know who you are I hope. Starting a new business here in the UAE there a number of regional differences that are simply not foreseen and I have been lucky to have found an organisation that has been able to advise, support and basically set up our HR function and continues to support on a weekly basis. If you are looking to add HR services, simply need on call support or set up your entire HR function with advice, templates, payroll etc. I don’t think you need to look further than the team at S&K. Desma and Elrona helped massively to start and Rakhi provides that daily support and services. Even if you don’t subscribe, there is a Youtube channel and podcast.

Working with this S&K has been an absolute pleasure from day one. Their level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment is unmatched in the UAE. Every interaction we’ve had with their team has been warm, friendly, and extremely efficient. They consistently go above and beyond to support us, whether it’s navigating complex HR matters, providing clear guidance, or responding quickly whenever we need assistance. What truly sets them apart is their personal approach. They take the time to understand our organisation, our people, and our challenges, and they deliver solutions tailored perfectly to our needs. Their dedication shows in everything they do. If you are looking for an HR consultancy that combines knowledge, reliability, integrity, and exceptional service, look no further. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to any business in the UAE seeking real HR partnership and support.

Working with S&K HR Consulting has been a key part of building and scaling our operations in the UAE. They supported us across everything—from navigating Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) requirements and quota alignment, to building a structured “HR-in-a-box” covering recruitment, onboarding, and policies. What really stands out is their ability to bridge U.S. operating standards with UAE labor laws. As a company transitioning elements of an American framework into the UAE, this required more than compliance—it required real expertise and adaptability, which the team delivered. Special thanks to Elrona, Desma, Poonam, and Aruma for their professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to think outside the box. They operate as a true extension of your team. Highly recommended for any company setting up or scaling in the UAE.

We are very satisfied with S&K’s HR consultancy services in Abu Dhabi. They provide reliable and hands-on operational support, combined with practical and well-founded advice. What we value most is their transparency, responsiveness, and the trustful working relationship. S&K is a dependable partner we can highly recommend.

S&K is fantastic. Their expertise and processes are great, their turnaround time is excellent, and they know what they are doing. I’m an HR professional in the US but we needed a professional to assist us in Dubai. We had floundered for years in our HR policies and practices in the UAE because the laws of the country were both different from US law, and Dubai regulation is in a period of change. They are the experts we were looking for. Once you begin to interact with true HR professionals, you can spot them a mile away. I knew I had found the best five minutes into our first conversation. I highly recommend S&K.

S&K are fantastic to work with. They are very professional, thorough and value the client. They understood the type of candidate we were looking for and helped us in finding the right match. Thank you, Desma and team for making the sourcing process a very pleasant experience.

Being a relatively small team with approximately 50 employees in our regional office, we wanted to improve the employee experience but didn’t know where to begin without an established local human resources department. We brought on S&K Consulting to support us with this as well as improving the onboarding experience, enabling a seamless process for both employees and the company. Thank you!

S&K Consulting were the right people for a hard job. I am an owner of a SME and as I began to grow, recruiting new people – I started to run into a lot of HR problems that I had no idea how to solve. I had no policies in place and my idea of the right way to discipline or exit an employee were based on google. I knew that I needed to really dig deep into what my company stood for, how we wanted to operate and a clear way to communicate that to my team. Elrona, in specific, spent a lot of hours with me over the span of two months as we developed all the tools, I needed to have a clear and concise vision, and message to my team. As well as helping me understand my employee’s rights, and for them to have a good working environment. I highly recommend these well-versed professionals when it comes to all your HR concerns.

Thank you!

Desma and Elrona are just wonderful people and an absolute privilege to work with. For the past 6 months, they have spared no effort to drastically improve all our HR policies.
