WHERE TO START
What Do You Need to Build?
Most companies come to us with one of two needs: additional workforce capacity for a defined piece of work, or a Jordan-based workforce they intend to keep.
A company can build workforce capacity in Jordan by recruiting the people it needs and employing them through an appropriate employment structure. Where the company has no local entity of its own, an Employer of Record arrangement can provide that structure, depending on the engagement and applicable requirements. In practice, recruitment and employment run together rather than as two separate projects.
Add Workforce Capacity
Add people to carry out work when your own team does not have the capacity.
- Increase capacity for a project or workload
- Add a new function or capability
- Bring in additional specialists
- Expand an existing operation
Build a Jordan-Based Workforce
Build a longer-term workforce in Jordan, or extend an existing operation with Jordan-based talent.
- Identify and recruit the required talent
- Establish the appropriate employment structure
- Build the workforce around your requirements
- Agreed ongoing support where applicable
EOR
Already found your candidate? Employ them in Jordan without setting up your own local entity.

STAFFING
Staffing in Jordan
Finding the right people is only part of building a workforce. Our staffing support helps companies identify, source and build teams around their actual business requirements.
Depending on your needs, this can include recruitment assistance, targeted sourcing, candidate screening and support through the hiring process. Recruitment focuses on finding and selecting people for defined roles. Staffing and nearshoring describe the broader business need to add or build workforce capacity in Jordan — a need usually met through recruitment together with an appropriate employment structure, rather than through a separate service of its own. That distinction is worked through in recruitment or staffing, and the employment and management structure depends on the engagement, applicable requirements and the services agreed.

NEARSHORING
Nearshoring in Jordan
Nearshoring with EmployMENA is designed for companies that want to build or expand a dedicated workforce in Jordan while retaining day-to-day management of the team.
Depending on the requirement, we can combine recruitment, local employment/EOR administration, payroll and HR support, and physical office or workspace hosting. Equipment can also be arranged as an additional service. Under the Nearshoring model, EmployMENA, through Business Alliance, acts as the local legal employer, while your company manages the team’s day-to-day work. Your company defines the work, priorities and team management. EmployMENA supports the local workforce infrastructure around the team. This is different from short-term consultant or contractor staffing, which is intended for defined assignments or project-based capacity. For a step-by-step view of setting up a team, see how to build a nearshore team in Jordan.

Frequently asked questions
What is staffing in Jordan?
Staffing involves helping a company build the workforce it needs by identifying and recruiting suitable talent for specific roles or broader workforce requirements.
What is nearshoring in Jordan?
Nearshoring is an approach where a company extends part of its workforce or operations to a nearby country such as Jordan while remaining connected to its existing organization.
What is the difference between staffing and recruitment?
Recruitment focuses on finding and selecting candidates for defined roles. Staffing and nearshoring describe the broader need to add or build workforce capacity in Jordan, which is usually met through recruitment together with an appropriate employment structure rather than through a separate service.
Is nearshoring the same as outsourcing?
Not necessarily. Nearshoring describes where a team or function is located relative to the company’s main operation. Outsourcing describes how work or a function is delivered. A nearshore team can be part of a company’s own workforce or operate through a local partner, depending on the structure.
Can EmployMENA help us recruit a nearshore team in Jordan?
EmployMENA can support recruitment and workforce setup in Jordan. Depending on your requirements, this may include recruitment, staffing and EOR services.
Can EmployMENA employ our Jordan-based team?
If your team members need to be employed locally and you do not have your own Jordanian entity, our EOR service may provide an appropriate employment structure.
Can we start with one employee and grow later?
The appropriate approach depends on your hiring and workforce requirements. We can help you determine whether recruitment, EOR, staffing or a combination of services makes sense for your situation.
Do you provide staffing outside Jordan?
Jordan and Palestine are our current full-service operational markets. Our recruitment team has also delivered searches for client requirements in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iraq and Oman. Availability of services other than Recruitment outside Jordan and Palestine should be confirmed for the specific country and requirement.
