Hi, my friend is working in an MNC company as an agency employee with around 3.5 years of experience in the HR team. He hasn't been able to secure any opportunities in other companies due to the fact that he worked under an agency. How can he develop his career? Please share any ideas.
Thanks & Regards,

Hiring Practices in Organizations
These days, organizations typically look for people within their own ranks rather than from agencies. However, this is not always the case. IT companies often hire employees through agencies and then transition them into permanent or temporary roles within the company. This practice is prevalent in IT, finance giants, and other industries, although not all staff members are necessarily converted to permanent positions.
Career Opportunities in Facility Management and Related Industries
In the case of your friend, encourage him to apply to organizations in Facility Management, Property Management, Real Estate, or Construction. There are also multinational corporations within these industries that often recruit HR professionals from the service industry or recruitment agencies, particularly those with experience as recruitment executives. Suggest that he submit his profile to companies in these sectors, as this industry is experiencing significant growth.
All the best to your friend in his career search.

Dear Senthil, this is in addition to what Gantti has said. I have some basic questions. This forum is for HR professionals, and advice is also provided by senior HR professionals or HR-related professionals. Your friend is also from HR. But then why is he shy about writing about himself? Is it so difficult to write a post seeking advice from seniors?

UAE Labour Law and Agency Staff Employment
Under UAE Labour Law, an agency staff member is considered a full employee. This is something I am seeking to resolve now with my ex-employer for non-payments.
ARTICLE 18 para 2 (UAE LABOUR LAW)
THE PERSONS SUPPLIED BY A RECRUITMENT AGENT OR A LABOUR SUPPLIER SHALL, IMMEDIATELY UPON JOINING THE SERVICE OF AN EMPLOYER, BE CONSIDERED EMPLOYEES OF THAT EMPLOYER AND SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ALL THE RIGHTS ENJOYED BY THE EMPLOYEES OF THE ESTABLISHMENT IN WHICH THEY ARE EMPLOYED. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN SUCH EMPLOYEES AND THE EMPLOYER SHALL BE DIRECT AND WITHOUT ANY INTERFERENCE FROM THE LABOUR AGENT WHOSE TASK AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM SHALL CEASE TO EXIST AS SOON AS THEY ARE INTRODUCED TO AND EMPLOYED BY THE EMPLOYER.
