We're a specialist HR consultancy based in Alexandria — built to make hiring, paying, and managing people in Egypt simple for any company, anywhere in the world.
Egypt has a deep talent pool — skilled engineers, multilingual professionals, finance and HR specialists — available at competitive rates. But the barriers to hiring legally are real: Arabic contracts, NOSI registration, quarterly tax returns, Labor Office filings.
Staffona exists to remove those barriers entirely. We handle every legal, administrative, and compliance obligation so companies can focus on getting work done — not on navigating Egyptian bureaucracy.
We serve Egyptian SMEs who want to professionalise their HR, and international companies — from the Gulf, UK, US, and Europe — who want to build or manage Egyptian teams without establishing a local entity.
We are not a staffing agency or a software platform. Every person at Staffona has hands-on experience with Egyptian payroll filings, Labor Office registrations, NOSI submissions, and the real-world compliance challenges that trip up foreign companies when they hire in Egypt.
We have submitted real NOSI forms, attended Labor Office hearings, and navigated the Egyptian Tax Authority. This is not textbook knowledge — it is accumulated from doing the work for actual clients.
We have supported hires for companies based in the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the US — people who needed an Egyptian team member without a local entity. We know what questions they ask and what problems arise.
Contracts drafted in Arabic for local legal compliance. Reporting and communication in English for international clients. We bridge both worlds without the client needing to manage a translator or a local lawyer separately.
Four principles that guide every client engagement we take on.
We never cut corners. Every contract, filing, and registration follows Egyptian law precisely — protecting you and your employees.
We know hiring is time-sensitive. Our 48–72 hour onboarding target isn't aspirational — it's our standard operating pace.
One invoice, no hidden fees. We explain every charge, every regulation, every decision — in plain English or Arabic.
Every client has a named specialist. You always know who is responsible for your payroll — and they're reachable when you need them.

Yes. Staffona is a legally registered Egyptian consultancy operating under Egyptian commercial law, with full authority to provide HR outsourcing, payroll administration, and recruitment services.
Staffona operates bilingually in Arabic and English. Client communications, contracts, and reports are available in both languages. Our team is fluent in both, enabling direct interaction with Egyptian government authorities and international clients simultaneously.
Staffona is a specialist HR consultancy — not a general accountancy or law firm. Our expertise is deep and narrow: Egyptian employment law, payroll, social insurance, and talent acquisition. This specialisation means faster, more accurate service than a generalist firm that handles HR as one of many practice areas.
Yes — and this is actually where we add the most value. A startup hiring its first Egyptian employee faces the same compliance requirements as a large corporation. Staffona makes those requirements manageable at any scale, from 1 to 100+ employees.
In-house HR in Egypt requires hiring a specialist who understands payroll calculations, social insurance filings, Labor Office registrations, and Arabic employment law — and keeping that person continuously updated as regulations change. Staffona gives you that expertise on-demand, at a fraction of the cost, with no risk of staff turnover disrupting compliance. For most companies under 50 employees, outsourced HR is simply cheaper, faster, and safer.
Three things: specialisation, location, and accountability. We focus exclusively on Egypt HR — no side practices, no general consulting. We are based in Alexandria with direct access to government authorities. And we assign a named contact to every client, not a call centre. If something needs fixing, you know exactly who to call and they know your account.
