Home » Case Studies » Dataloop’s Tech Center Setup in Abu Dhabi
Dataloop, an Israeli AI and Data Platform startup, aimed to establish a Tech Hub in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi, while rapidly growing in many sectors, lacked a robust pool of local tech talent, making it difficult to source the senior engineers Dataloop needed for its Tech Center.
Dataloop did not yet have a physical office in Abu Dhabi, which meant the company had to operate through an Employer of Record (EOR) model with an external vendor. This presented operational challenges in managing the recruitment process, compliance, and logistics.
Dataloop partnered with Talentiser, to take full ownership of the project. Talentiser handled every aspect of the hiring process, from need assessment, talent feasibility, recruitment to onboarding, and managed the entire project end-to-end.
Talentiser provided a local retainer based in the Middle East who managed the project in real time, ensuring that hiring was aligned with Dataloop’s requirements and that local logistical challenges were addressed efficiently.
To attract top talent to Abu Dhabi, Talentiser focused on positioning Dataloop’s leadership, investor backing, revenue growth, and high-profile client base. This strategy emphasized the company’s success and future potential, making it an attractive employer despite the non-traditional tech location.
Talentiser worked closely with Dataloop to structure a competitive package that included housing, child school admissions, travel allowances, internet, phone, and other perks. This package helped make Abu Dhabi a more appealing relocation option for candidates.
Since Abu Dhabi had limited local tech talent, Talentiser sourced candidates from nearby tech hubs such as Dubai, where the talent pool was more robust. Additionally, Talentiser attracted talent from India, offering relocation packages that incentivized engineers to move to Abu Dhabi.
Talentiser successfully relocated most of the senior engineers from India to Abu Dhabi, where they formed the core team of Dataloop’s new Tech center.
Within just three months, Dataloop was able to establish a strong Tech Team. Despite the challenges of recruiting in a non-tech hub and the lack of an initial office, the partnership with Talentiser enabled Dataloop to overcome these hurdles swiftly and effectively.

At Z47, we work with a limited handful external hiring partners. And, I am truly happy that Talentiser is the one in our list since last many years.
It’s heartwarming to see how Talentiser ‘s persistent performance compounded the status of the firm as a “Go to partner” for Z47 (fka Matrix Partners India) and it’s portfolio companies since 2017.
