Our History

Fifteen Years of Trusted HR Partnership.

Founded in Cairo in 2009 — by the man who pioneered HR outsourcing in Egypt 40 years earlier. Enterprise SAP systems, and a promise: HR done right, every cycle.

From Cairo to Egypt’s HR Front Line

The GPS story starts long before 2009. Forty years ago, Said Botros pioneered the concept of HR outsourcing in Egypt — and as Managing Director built what became the largest HR outsourcing firm in the country. In 2009 he brought that experience to a new venture in Cairo: GPS. The idea was simple: give companies operating in Egypt a partner that handles HR with the rigour of an international consulting firm and the local depth of a team that has navigated every corner of Egyptian employment regulation.

From the beginning, GPS invested in enterprise-grade systems — including an SAP-implemented HR platform — at a time when few local firms did. That decision shaped everything that followed: accurate payroll at scale, audit-ready records, and compliance clients can verify rather than take on faith.

Fifteen years on, GPS manages the HR operations of organisations across banking, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, construction, FMCG, and technology — more than 25,000 employees across a client base of over 100 organisations, from Egyptian market leaders to global multinationals. Local expertise, international standards, and 40 years of knowing this industry better than anyone.
