Hire screened Egyptian remote talent without building the pipeline yourself
EgyTalent is a placement agency. We screen Egyptian remote professionals and introduce a matched shortlist to US and EU startups. You only interview people who already fit the role.
Not just a job board
A job board hands you 500 applicants and wishes you luck. We start from your role and bring you the few people in our pool who actually fit it.
You get access to a market most of your competitors have not looked at yet, filtered down to a shortlist you can interview this week.
What you no longer have to figure out
- Where Egyptian professionals look for remote work
- Which communities produce strong candidates
- How to judge spoken and written English before the interview
- What salary expectations look like for the role
- How to sift hundreds of applicants down to five

-
05
Follow-up during and after the hire

Every candidate passes the same six checks
Nobody reaches your shortlist on a CV alone.
CV fit
Their experience actually corresponds to the role.
Job description match
Their background meets your real requirements, not just the title.
English communication
Assessed from a video or audio introduction, as well as an initial screening call.
Role competence
Three targeted questions written around your role.
Compensation alignment
Salary expectations collected before anyone is introduced.
Availability
Confirmed for your opportunity and your start date.
Why Egypt
Your working hours
Candidates work your hours, US or European. We confirm that before anyone reaches your shortlist, so there is no negotiating it later.
Strong English
A large professional workforce that works in English every day, much of it already in international teams.
Senior talent, sensible cost
Roughly 50% less than the equivalent hire in the US.
An unused market
Companies already hire in India, the Philippines, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Egypt is the deep talent market most of them have not tapped yet.
Roles we fill
Our main focus is tech and customer support. We take other roles when we have a strong match.
Track record
EgyTalent is a new name, not a new practice. Our founder, Malek Abdelfattah, was placing Egyptian professionals with Western companies long before the brand existed.
His first two placements joined a US company and stayed for six years. They left only when the company eliminated the roles. Neither ever needed replacing, and both came in roughly 65% below the US salary benchmark.
One fee, only when you hire
No retainer and nothing up front. You pay once a candidate accepts your offer.
Full terms provided upon agreement.
Questions companies ask
Isn't EgyTalent a job board?
For candidates, it started as one. For companies, EgyTalent is a placement agency: we screen candidates and introduce the ones who fit your role.
How fast will I see candidates?
Five qualified candidates within 48 hours of the brief call for tech and customer support roles. Seven to ten days for other roles.
What does it cost?
20% of the hire's first-year total compensation, on one invoice, only when you hire.
What if the hire does not work out?
If it does not work out within 90 days, for reasons we name and agree on up front, we replace the hire. If we cannot provide a replacement, we refund the fee.
Which roles do you fill?
Mainly backend and frontend engineering, DevOps, data, customer support and admin. Other roles when we have a strong match.
