About GPS

What is GPS and what does it do?

GPS is an HR outsourcing company headquartered in Heliopolis, Cairo, operating for 15 years. We manage the HR operations of more than 100 client organisations — over 25,000 employees — across payroll, personnel management, recruitment, and compliance, using an SAP-implemented HR system and our proprietary Fursah AI recruitment platform.

What makes GPS different from other HR outsourcing companies in Egypt?

Three things. First, heritage: GPS is led by Said Botros, who pioneered HR outsourcing in Egypt 40 years ago and built the largest firm in the country before founding GPS — no competitor can match that depth. Second, technology: an SAP-implemented HR system and Fursah, the only proprietary AI recruitment platform owned by an Egyptian HR outsourcing firm. Third, scale with accountability: 25,000+ employees managed, with GPS acting as Employer of Record where required.

Which industries does GPS serve?

Banking and financial institutions, oil, gas and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, insurance, construction and development, communications and IT, customer services, FMCG, consulting, learning and development, and fashion — over 100 clients across 13 sectors, including Siemens, Maersk, AXA, AstraZeneca, Samsung, and Bank Misr.

Outsourcing Models

What is Employer of Record (EOR) and who is the legal employer?

Under our Personnel Outsourcing / Employer of Record (EOR) model, GPS becomes the legal Employer of Record for all personnel functions: employment, onboarding, compensation (payroll, incentives, commission, profit sharing), benefits, private insurance schemes (medical, life, and accident), social insurance, income taxes, leaves, risk management, and compliance management under Egyptian Labour Law and local regulations. Your company retains full daily control and supervision of the team.

What is the difference between EOR and HR Outsourcing (HRO)?

HRO is our widest model. It includes everything in EOR, and adds the HR functions on top — most importantly full Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and headhunting. Choose EOR when you already handle hiring and need the employment, payroll, and compliance burden lifted; choose HRO when you want GPS to run the complete people operation, recruitment included.

What does the Payroll Management service include?

End-to-end salary processing and statutory compliance: monthly payroll processing (salaries, bonuses, commissions, allowances), employee data management (loans, monthly variables, deduction tracking), bank transfers, social insurance calculation and remittance to the Social Insurance Authority, income tax calculation and settlement with the Tax Authority, payslips and management reports, and full audit support with compliant, ready records.

How does GPS handle social insurance and income taxes?

GPS calculates and remits social insurance dues directly to the Social Insurance Authority, and calculates and settles income taxes with the Tax Authority, every cycle. All records are kept compliant and audit-ready — statutory filings are part of the service, not an extra.

Recruitment & Fursah

What recruitment services does GPS offer?

Three services. Contingent Recruitment: efficient placement of skilled professionals across industries, where you pay only on successful placement. Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO): comprehensive management of your entire recruitment process, from briefing and sourcing to offer and onboarding. Talent Management: expert guidance on talent acquisition, development, and retention strategies.

What is Fursah?

Fursah is our AI-powered recruitment platform, built entirely in-house. It automates candidate matching, screening, and shortlisting — ranking applicants against role requirements in seconds instead of days. GPS is the only HR outsourcing company in Egypt with a proprietary AI recruitment tool, and it works on every recruitment mandate we take.

Can GPS help multinationals entering Egypt or GCC companies hiring Egyptian talent?

Yes — this is a core part of our work. For multinationals entering Egypt, GPS acts as Employer of Record, handling employment, payroll, social insurance, taxes, and compliance from day one. For GCC companies, we source, employ, and manage Egyptian talent end to end.
