People from Egypt

Who you’ll be working with

Egypt is the closest source country: direct flights of just a few hours and a time zone almost identical to Romania’s. The logistics of the process - paperwork, interviews, travel - are simple and fast.

Egyptian candidates often come from construction and hospitality, two huge industries at home. Many have worked on large sites or in international resorts, so professional standards are familiar to them.
