How we engage
Three ways to work with Zero Shift.
Most clients use more than one — engineers this quarter, a fixed-scope project next, a permanent hire after that. Same account team either way, one contract to manage.
01
Outstaffing
Vetted senior engineers embedded in your team, working to your direction and your process. Onboarded in 7 days. Scale up or down monthly.
See contract staffing02
Project outsourcing
Defined scope, fixed price, one accountable delivery team. We own the build end-to-end. Production systems in 8–12 weeks.
See the service catalogue03
Technical recruitment & HR
We source, screen and close your permanent engineering hires — and can employ, sponsor and pay them in the UAE on your behalf.

The full catalogue.
Twelve practices, one delivery organisation. Take them as a project we own, or as engineers who sit inside your team and use your process.
01
AI & Automation
Copilots, RAG assistants, document intelligence and process automation deployed against your own systems and data.

06
Data & Analytics
Warehouses, pipelines, BI and predictive models that turn operational data into decisions.
07
Security & Compliance
Security frameworks, audits and controls for regulated and government-facing organisations.
08
Systems Integration
ERP, CRM, payment, identity and legacy systems joined into one dependable flow of data.
09
Product & UX Design
Research, prototypes and design systems that reduce risk before a line of code is written.
10
QA & Test Automation
Automated regression, performance and security testing wired into every release.
11
API Development & Integration
Documented, versioned APIs and third-party integrations that other teams can build on.

Talent & HR · 01—06
Hiring, staffing and the paperwork around it.
The other half of the business. We recruit permanent technical staff, place contract engineers, and can carry the UAE employment, visa and payroll obligations for either.
01
Technical Recruitment
Sourcing, screening and closing permanent engineering, data and product hires across the UAE and GCC.
02
Contract Staffing
Time-bound placement of engineers, analysts and project managers, with visa and payroll handled by us.
03
Employer of Record & Payroll
We employ, sponsor and pay your team in the UAE while you direct the work day to day.
04
Technical Screening
Structured assessments and live interviews run by senior engineers, not by recruiters reading a keyword list.
05
Salary Benchmarking
Current UAE and GCC compensation data for engineering, data and product roles, so offers land first time.
06
Onboarding & Retention
Onboarding programmes, performance frameworks and retention planning for technical teams.
Tell us the roles you need filled, the system you need built, or both. You will speak to someone who has done the work, and leave the call with a route forward.

Industries
Where we work.
Sectors where procurement, audit and uptime matter as much as the code. We work inside their review cycles, not around them.
How we work
Four steps, every engagement.
The same sequence whether it is a fixed-scope build or a platform we operate for years. Nothing starts before the metrics are agreed.
01
Discover
We align on objectives, constraints and success metrics with leadership and stakeholders. Typically one to two weeks.
02
Design
We prototype rapidly and validate with users to reduce risk and maximise adoption. You see a clickable prototype before the build starts.
03
Deliver
We build, ship and iterate with measurable business outcomes and clear KPIs. Two-week sprints, a demo every sprint.
04
Evolve
We monitor, learn and optimise continuously to maximise long-term value. SLA, on-call and a quarterly review.
Proof

Client names are withheld under NDA. The numbers are the ones we reported at handover and still monitor.

FAQ
Questions we get asked first.
If the answer you need is not here, ask on the call. We will give you the same answer in writing.
Seven days is typical: two to three days to shortlist from the bench, then onboarding to your stack and access. Niche skill sets take two to three weeks because we recruit for them rather than force a near-match.
Yes. As employer of record we can employ, sponsor and pay engineers in the UAE, including visa processing, WPS payroll and end-of-service. You direct the work day to day; we carry the employment obligations.
With outstaffing you get engineers inside your team, working to your backlog, your process and your definition of done. With project outsourcing we take the scope, staff the delivery team ourselves and hand back a finished system against a fixed price.
Outstaffing is a monthly rate per engineer. Projects are fixed price against written scope. Recruitment is a one-time placement fee, and employer of record is a flat monthly fee per employee. Every number is agreed before work starts.
You do. Source code, infrastructure definitions and documentation are yours, repositories sit in your organisation from the first commit, and assignment is written into the contract.
Yes. We sign an NDA before technical discussions and a DPA covering personal data, including UAE data-residency terms where they apply.
