About us

ALKABA Agency is a licensed Ethiopian foreign employment agency built around a clear business model: supplying overseas recruitment agencies and corporate partners with an organized, scalable source of Ethiopian workforce.
Operating exclusively on an office-to-office (O2O) basis, we support licensed recruitment agencies, regulated recruitment centers, and institutional partners rather than recruiting directly for individual households.
Our role extends beyond identifying available candidates. ALKABA coordinates sourcing, preparation, processing, medical requirements, training, mobilization, and partner communication so workforce orders can move through a defined operational pipeline.
As one of the leading agencies in Ethiopia serving overseas recruitment markets, our focus is on building supply relationships that partners can return to whenever new workforce requirements arise—not simply completing isolated placements.

🏢 ALKABA at a Glance
ALKABA FOREIGN EMPLOYMENT AGENT PLC is based in Ethiopia and operates as a B2B workforce sourcing and deployment partner for recruitment agencies and corporate entities serving international markets.
Our model reflects the realities of agency recruitment. Order volumes vary, workforce specifications differ between markets, deployment schedules change, and receiving agencies need visibility as candidates move from sourcing to readiness.
For that reason, ALKABA does not operate simply as a database of available workers. We help turn a partner's workforce requirement into an organized recruitment operation.
That can involve identifying candidates against agreed criteria, coordinating preparation and processing, managing readiness stages, and aligning mobilization with the receiving agency's requirements.
This practical, supply-focused approach supports ALKABA's position among leading agencies in Ethiopia for recruitment partners seeking structured O2O cooperation.
📦 Built for Wholesale Workforce Supply
Wholesale recruitment requires a different operating approach from individual placement.
A partner agency may require a defined batch of workers, several workforce categories at once, or a recurring candidate pipeline to support continuing recruitment activity throughout the year.
ALKABA's manpower recruitment services are structured around this kind of demand.
Depending on the requirement, our sourcing operation can coordinate:
-
Bulk workforce requests.
-
Recurring recruitment demand.
-
Candidate sourcing against partner specifications.
-
Initial screening before further processing.
-
Preparation of candidates for subsequent recruitment stages.
-
Batch planning for larger orders.
-
Coordination with the receiving agency throughout the order.
The objective is not volume for its own sake. It is to create a workforce pipeline that matches the partner's actual recruitment needs and can be managed through a clear O2O structure.
🎯 Our Mission & Future Direction
Our Mission
Our mission is to give overseas recruitment partners dependable access to Ethiopian workforce through an O2O model that combines sourcing capacity with practical operational coordination.
We aim to reduce unnecessary gaps between workforce demand, candidate sourcing, preparation, processing, and mobilization so partner agencies can manage recruitment requirements with greater clarity and efficiency.
Our Vision
Our vision is to develop long-term workforce supply relationships with agencies that need an Ethiopian partner capable of supporting both current orders and future growth.
We want ALKABA to be a partner agencies can return to as their requirements change—whether they need new categories, larger volumes, repeated recruitment cycles, or more coordinated deployment planning.
Our growth therefore depends on repeat cooperation, operational familiarity, and partnerships that strengthen over time.
⚙️ How We Keep Workforce Supply Moving
A workforce order passes through several connected stages. ALKABA's role is to keep those stages moving together so progress in one area is not lost because another requirement has been overlooked.
📋 Understanding the Requirement
The process begins with the receiving partner's workforce needs.
Worker category, volume, expected readiness, destination requirements, processing conditions, and anticipated deployment timing all influence how sourcing should be organized.
A clear requirement gives the recruitment process a practical starting point.
🔎 Building the Candidate Pipeline
Suitable candidates are identified and reviewed according to the specifications communicated by the partner agency.
For larger or recurring orders, continuity matters. Candidate sourcing therefore needs to support more than one immediate vacancy; it must be capable of feeding future processing and deployment stages as demand continues.
🩺 Preparing Candidates for Processing
Candidates advancing through the recruitment pipeline may require medical fitness procedures, documentation, training, and other forms of preparation before deployment.
Our medical check-up services coordinate relevant pre-deployment health requirements as part of the wider recruitment process.
✈️ Moving From Readiness to Mobilization
Once candidates have progressed through the required preparation stages, deployment must be coordinated with the receiving agency's timetable.
Our mobilization and travel coordination services support activities such as travel planning, relevant appointments, biometrics where required, scheduling, and organized deployment of candidates or batches.
🤝 Why Partner With ALKABA
Our O2O model is designed for recruitment businesses that need more than occasional access to individual candidates.
📦 Reliable Wholesale Supply
ALKABA maintains a workforce sourcing structure that can support defined orders as well as recurring recruitment requirements.
The aim is to give partner agencies a more predictable source of Ethiopian workforce as new orders arise.
⏱️ Predictable Deployment Coordination
Candidate preparation, processing, and mobilization are organized around agreed requirements and expected deployment schedules.
Clear coordination helps partner agencies plan their own recruitment operations and receiving arrangements.
💰 Competitive B2B Supply Structure
Because ALKABA operates on an agency-to-agency basis, commercial arrangements can be structured around wholesale and repeat workforce requirements rather than individual consumer placements.
This supports a B2B model suited to agencies managing larger or continuing recruitment demand.
🧭 Domestic Sector Experience
Our operating model is built around the practical requirements of domestic and household-support workforce recruitment, from candidate sourcing and preparation to overseas mobilization.
This sector focus helps us understand the requirements that commonly shape agency orders and deployment planning.
📞 Dedicated Partner Support
Ongoing workforce supply requires consistent communication.
Partner agencies can receive structured support for order coordination, candidate progress, processing requirements, and upcoming deployment activity through our corporate account management services.
🔄 Long-Term Supply Relationships
ALKABA is built around continuing O2O cooperation rather than isolated candidate transactions.
As a working relationship develops, both sides gain a clearer understanding of recruitment requirements, operating expectations, and recurring workforce needs.
💎 The Principles Behind Our Work
Our values are reflected in the way workforce orders are handled from initial requirement to deployment.
Reliability
Commitments made during sourcing and preparation should give partners a realistic basis for planning their own recruitment activity.
Efficiency
Delays between sourcing, documentation, medical procedures, training, and travel can affect the entire recruitment cycle. We therefore focus on keeping these stages connected.
Transparency
Partners need realistic information about candidate availability, processing status, and readiness rather than unclear promises.
Readiness
Candidate availability alone does not equal deployment readiness. Documentation, health requirements, preparation, and understanding of the intended role all matter.
Compliance
Recruitment activity must operate within Ethiopia's overseas employment framework and the relevant requirements of the receiving market.
Partnership
Long-term O2O cooperation creates better communication, stronger operational familiarity, and more practical planning for repeat workforce demand.
🧾 More Than Candidate Sourcing
Identifying suitable candidates is only one part of overseas workforce supply.
ALKABA also coordinates the supporting stages required to move selected candidates toward actual deployment.
Through our document processing services, we support relevant employment documentation, travel document processing, work-ability certification, embassy-related coordination, and other requirements connected with overseas recruitment.
Candidate readiness also extends beyond paperwork.
Our training services support preparation in areas such as workplace conduct, basic language readiness, role expectations, and orientation before overseas employment.
Medical fitness procedures and applicable vaccination requirements may also form part of candidate preparation depending on the recruitment and destination requirements.
By coordinating these functions within the same recruitment pathway, ALKABA helps prevent sourcing, documentation, training, medical procedures, and mobilization from becoming disconnected activities.
👥 Workforce Aligned With Partner Demand
ALKABA supports agencies and institutional partners seeking Ethiopian workers across domestic and household-support categories.
Current workforce categories include:
-
Housekeepers and maids.
-
Nannies and childcare workers.
-
Elderly caregivers.
-
Cooks and kitchen staff.
-
Drivers.
-
Gardeners and maintenance workers.
The category mix and volume can change according to each partner's demand rather than following one fixed supply pattern.
Visit our workforce section to explore the worker categories currently supported through the ALKABA recruitment pipeline.
🌍 Connecting Ethiopian Workforce With Overseas Markets
ALKABA works with recruitment partners serving major Gulf markets, including:
-
Saudi Arabia
-
United Arab Emirates
-
Qatar
-
Kuwait
-
Oman
-
Bahrain
These markets do not operate under identical recruitment conditions. Workforce demand, documentation requirements, processing procedures, and deployment arrangements can vary by destination and by receiving agency.
Our O2O model therefore allows each recruitment requirement to be coordinated around the actual receiving market instead of forcing every order through one identical process.

🤝 A Partnership Model Designed for Recruitment Agencies
ALKABA does not operate as a retail recruitment provider for individual households.
Our business is structured around cooperation with recruitment agencies, regulated recruitment centers, and corporate entities that need an Ethiopian workforce sourcing partner.
That distinction shapes the entire relationship.
Instead of focusing on individual consumer transactions, we work around:
-
Workforce specifications.
-
Required volumes.
-
Candidate pipeline planning.
-
Processing progress.
-
Deployment schedules.
-
Repeat recruitment cycles.
-
Ongoing agency communication.
For partners with continuing demand, this allows ALKABA to become part of the workforce supply side of their operation rather than simply a source for an occasional candidate.
