Allocationassist Reviews 

I am so thankful to Emilie and the team at Allocation Assist for helping with my move to Dubai. They set up interviews and helped me secure the perfect job, were great help with all the licensing and other paperwork. Every person I interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable and professional and they always responded to quickly to each question I had.
If you are thinking of making the move to UAE or KSA, you must use Allocation Assist!

Excellent experience with Allocation Assist agency; they are efficient, professional and genuinely caring. Especially Emilie, always available to support me at the start and during my venture in UAE. Highly recommended 😊

I am really impressed with the great degree of experience and professionalism of the team, their experience with licensing was extremely useful.
I advise any colleague to consult them before allocating to UAE. The service I got from such a dynamic team is priceless.
Emillie and team, I am very grateful to you .

A highly supportive team that leaves no stone unturned in working toward your best outcome.

Wonderful team of professionals!

Thanks to Emilie and her team I found the job of my life. They are at your side at every step of the process. They are so professional and enthusiastic. I recommended Emilie and her team

Working with Emilie and the Allocation Assist team was the best decision I made for my career. They helped me navigate the complex process of DHA and DOH licensing, and they found me a great job at a top hospital in the UAE. Their team was always available, responsive, and efficient, and they saved me a lot of time, money, and energy, cheers to Abdelrahman and Salam. Emilie also provided me with valuable coaching and support throughout the relocation process, and she helped my family and me get settled in our new home. I am starting a new chapter in my life, and I am grateful to Emilie and her team for making it possible. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a medical job in the UAE.

Had an encounter with this company and spoken to Emillie. She was very kind and well spoken but found out they do not want to hire in UAE but mostly SA. Now, the Allocation Assist Team wanted to label this review as unreliable but unfortunately it is very true and tempted to provide more information and verification. Their store is advertised for UAE but they want to allocate Doctors to SA.

Very responsive and amenable until you pay them to get licensed. The licensing process was smooth but that's expected, since you're paying more than double (and the actual licensing process is quite simple).

Then you're asked to sign a second "contract" if you want them to "actively" search for a position on your behalf. This was when everything went south: the contract itself establishes a hefty fee to be paid from your first salary (which by itself does not even seem to be legal in Dubai). Still, in more than one year they didn't get me in touch with a single employer while I managed to get a several interviews by myself and a job offer. At one point, I was given "contacts" to try to find a job, 3 generic emails were provided (that you can get yourself in less than 5 minutes by googling them). I reached the point of wondering if my CV wasn't enough, which obviously wasn't the case as since then I managed to get a position as a Consultant in Ireland and more recently in Qatar (with a much better salary than the one I was offered in Dubai).

I still get random emails, calls and texts regarding potential positions, to which I replied and said I was willing to consider but never received anything or even any answer (the last time was Emilie herself, no reply whatsoever). You will also get calls asking if you'd be interested in getting a license with them, which just shows how disorganized they are.

TL,DR: save your money and avoid frustration, get licensed by yourself and apply to jobs. Or choose another company. The only person that worked diligently and was always responsible was Abdelrahman Abdelaziz but again, he only deals with licensing.

Concuerdo completamente con lo que se dice de esta compañía y de su CEO.A Nosotros nos ha pasado lo mismo y hemos perdido 40 mil AED o 10 mil euros con ella.
Es exactamente como lo describen desde UK, primero te cobran , luego te dicen que hay retraso con el DHA respecto de la licencia y por ultimo que tu perfil es tan bueno que les tomara entre 6 y 8 meses encontrarte una posición. Recibíamos llamadas antes de pagar casi cada 2 días incluso en horarios no habituales, siempre con la promesa de encontrar un proceso rápido y una recolocación en poco tiempo. Pero Una Vez Hecho el primer pago es cuando comienzan las Sorpresas. Se demoran en contactarte, te dan respuestas cortas que no satisfacen tus preguntas, no están disponibles para hacer videollamadas y de la oferta de trabajo ni hablar. Así lamentablemente no es una compañía confiable para que te realice el proceso de encontrar trabajo en UAE
Si quieres trabajar en emiratos mi recomendación es que prepares un buen CV , apliques al DHA y pases el examen por solo 200 dólares en su pagina web. y Luego apliques por ti mismo a traves de otras agencias de mayor reputación y reconocidas.
I completely agree with what's being said about this company and its CEO. The same thing happened to us and we lost 40,000 AED or 10,000 euros with them.
It's exactly as described in the UK: first they charge you, then they tell you there's a delay with the DHA regarding your license, and finally, they tell you that your profile is so good it will take them 6 to 8 months to find you a position. We received calls before paying almost every two days, even at odd hours, always with the promise of a quick process and a quick relocation. But once the first payment is made, that's when the surprises begin. They take a long time to contact you, they give you short answers that don't answer your questions, they're not available for video calls, and they don't even mention the job offer. Unfortunately, this is not a reliable company to help you find a job in the UAE.
If you want to work in the Emirates, my recommendation is to prepare a good CV, apply to the DHA, and pass the exam for only $200 on their website. Then, apply on your own through other more reputable and recognized agencies.

Those people transfer are mainly to UK trained doctors — others — they are just to pay the bill for registration. I share my opinion and story as

The leader of the company, who claims to be an NHS trained nurse, is great at marketing, and her team as well. They do transfer some doctors to the Middle East and this is what you see online. So when they feedback you ‚let’s proceed,’ you get the impression you are initially verified for the market, and you are in good hands. All is fine till exam results - after that contact almost stops.

I asked them for a meeting in Dubai while I was traveling there — no response via whatapp, though the message was read (it was two times). The funniest thing I experienced with them was a message via LinkedIn from Emilie Davies: “Your profile is impressive. Can we schedule an online meeting to talk?” — nice, but I was already their client and could not contact them. I talked to her at that time and frankly … I felt sorry about her. Seems like lost for squeezing money of people.

But everybody deserves a chance … but since they completely ignored my emails and messages via Whatsapp, and she deleted my comments on LinkedIn, I decided to share my experience and warn other people — do register by yourself online, don’t pay them money. Don’t trust them unless you are UK trained — they seem to have contact with King’s College Hospital. Once, after I e-mailed them pushing them to do something about my application, miraculously they organized for me an interview within one week with King’s College. I booked my time, prepared and … the lady from the hospital told me that Doctor X from the hospital had an urgent case and could talk to me at the moment, and they would reschedule the meeting, which, of course, was not done. You see how sophisticated their game can be?!

Guys — be cautious. Many people want to go to the Emirates (I did, now I am in a good place) but there are over 31 000 registered doctors there (this is the number I found online) — so just count the numbers and get the answer. The business of such companies is about making people make registrations. If anyone wants more details about my history, feel free to contact me because there are many more stories — For example, about re-registration — they were delaying my re-registration, claiming it’s a problem with the DHA website. I contacted DHA, and they wrote back to me that the system is fine all the time.

Some people advised me not to comment and let it go, as AA has contact and may cause me problems with employers. Well, I think AA is the one to be ashamed of making fools of doctors. Dear AA — some people really have serious motivation to relocate, and you play with them. Rather I should feel embarrased that I was fooled and I put my trust in the hands of people who do not play fair - since over a year I just wanted to hear simple thing: "listen, we are sorry; you do not quallify for that market". But instead of truth they started to avoiding me - well, I will try to do my best to save others' people time and money.

The problem is trust - you think you are dealing as a doctor with serious people and this is the problem - to admit in front of yourself you got fooled.

I cannot express my deepest dissatisfaction and disappointment with that company and its leader, who shows off as a superb manager with NHS roots — who would not trust her?

Short update after AA reply to my comment on Nov 28th - so you want to make of me racist? Accusation of "obsessively harassing members of the company on social media" does not meet facts and is public violation of my person. The same about suggestion: "You made discriminatory comments about a particular ethnic group which made us uncomfortable..". Considering my professional carrier and experience in Europe and Middle East I find as offensive, unfounded accusation damaging my professional position as doctor, director, inventor, educator but foremost as human being. One step too far.

They guarantee you a job and promise an easy application process—right up until they take your money. After that, they keep asking for more documents and keep promising to complete your registration. The issue is, only they have access to the registration, if it even exists. After paying a hefty £4200, there hasn’t been a single job offer in 10-11 months. I could have traveled to the Gulf and searched for a job on my own with that money instead of wasting it on them.
Furthermore they accuse you of been unpleasant when you start to question them regarding job opportunity. Beware fake interview to quiten you and keep you silent.

Please be very wary of this company, it is not transparent and will charge an extortionate amount of money (35,000 AED + VAT) to be under no obligation to do anything as per its contract. It pressure sells and provides misleading information with no governance. Furthermore, the leadership is shameful in that it actually doesn’t care and is more concerned about lining its pockets. Please double check with other recruitment agencies to check job availability and understand that this company poses as a ‘consultant’ and is under no obligation to find you work…after all it is not a recruitment company yet ‘helps people get work’ which in itself is misleading and a dishonest description of its business purpose. Moreover, it repeatedly advertises only 5 star reviews and ‘successful’ recruitments to entice your enrolment. Please do not fall for this as any decent company that listens and cares with good honest values would encourage and post all feedback good and bad not just bias information about its service. Unfortunately this company is nothing more than a glamorous scam and I have reported it to the local authorities for malpractice. Please do not trust this company and keep your hard earned money safe.

Update - May 2026 Still no contact from Allocation Assist or the so called CEO Emilie 😂 who was quite quick at responding to my review ( which by the way is written to warn others about this scamming company! An email was sent many months ago to express my disappointment and dissatisfaction. This was of course left unresolved).

To AA/ Emilie - Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but personal attacks and assumptions about someone’s life are unnecessary. Anonymous reviews exist so people can share honest experiences without fear of backlash. Success is built through accountability, professionalism, and how criticism is handled — not by insulting others!
