Davidson Tech is a Dubai-headquartered recruitment agency focused exclusively on AI and technology hiring. We specialise in placing AI professionals including AI Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, LLM and Generative AI specialists, and AI leadership roles. If you need to hire AI professionals in Dubai, Davidson Tech offers both local and international search capabilities tailored to your mandate.

Experienced AI and machine learning engineers in the UAE can be sourced through Davidson Tech's specialist recruitment service. We map active and passive candidates locally in the UAE, as well as across key international talent markets including India, the UK, Europe and Southeast Asia. Our direct search approach reaches professionals who are not actively applying to job boards, significantly expanding the candidate pool available to UAE employers.

Davidson Tech is a Dubai-based recruitment company that specialises in AI and technology hiring. Unlike multi-sector agencies, our entire focus is on AI, software engineering, data, cloud and cybersecurity roles. This specialist positioning means our consultants have deeper technical knowledge, stronger candidate networks and a more targeted approach to AI and technology hiring in Dubai and across the UAE.

Davidson Tech works with employers across the UAE and Saudi Arabia to build AI and technology teams from the ground up or add specialist capability to existing functions. Whether you need a single senior AI hire or a structured programme to grow an entire engineering team, we manage the full search process — from market mapping and direct sourcing through to assessment, shortlisting and offer management — across both markets simultaneously if required.

Yes. Many employers in Dubai and the UAE hire AI professionals from abroad, particularly from India, the UK, Europe and Southeast Asia. Davidson Tech runs coordinated international searches that identify the strongest candidates globally while managing the practical requirements of cross-border hiring, including notice periods, relocation, and visa considerations relevant to UAE employment.

Timelines vary depending on seniority, specialism and whether the search is local or international. A specialist mid-level AI Engineer role in Dubai typically takes four to eight weeks from search launch to accepted offer, though senior or highly technical positions may take longer. Davidson Tech provides realistic timelines at the outset of each mandate based on current market conditions.

Depending on the mandate, Davidson Tech can map talent across India, Singapore, the UK and Ireland, continental Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, selected Asian markets, South Africa and the GCC. The search geography is always chosen based on where the right candidate is most likely to be found.

No. AI is a major specialism, but Davidson Tech also recruits across software engineering, data engineering and science, cloud architecture, cybersecurity, DevOps, infrastructure, enterprise architecture and technology leadership. Many mandates combine AI capability with adjacent engineering or leadership requirements.

AI recruitment agency fees in Dubai are typically calculated as a percentage of the placed candidate's first-year base salary. The exact fee structure depends on the seniority of the role, the scope of the search, and whether the assignment is retained or contingency-based. Davidson Tech provides transparent fee proposals before any search commences.
