Our Story

From a Single Office
to the Whole Region.

Connectalents was founded in 2020 with a clear conviction: businesses in MENA deserved a better kind of HR partner, one that truly understood the region, moved at its pace, and stood behind every commitment.

What began as a recruitment firm in Egypt grew rapidly as clients asked us to take on more: payroll, compliance advisory, executive search, and eventually the full EOR model that lets companies hire anywhere in MENA without a local entity.

Today we operate across the UAE and Egypt, serving 130+ clients across 16+ countries, from startups making their first hire to multinationals managing payroll across three jurisdictions at once.

Leadership

A Word From Our Founder

Ahmed Bedair, Founder and Managing Director, Connectalents
Ahmed Bedair
Founder & Managing Director
Certified Assessor Management Consultant

We built Connectalents because we saw a gap. Businesses in MENA were struggling to access reliable, compliant HR support that truly understood the region. Not just the laws, but the culture, the pace, the ambition of companies trying to grow here.

Today, with 130+ clients and operations across three countries, I am proud that we have become the partner businesses call when they need to get people right, from their first hire to their thousandth payslip.
