What we do
We provide fifteen services for organisations operating in Iraq and the professionals who drive them. Choose a category, then a service to explore its details.
Sourcing, evaluating and placing people into your roles — drawing on an active database of 200,000+ vetted CVs and matched against how your company actually works, not just a job description.
Operate in Iraq without setting up a local company. We become the legal employer: contracts, payroll, income tax, social security contributions, attendance and statutory filings.
Social security registration, employment contracts, taxation, company registration, notary, document attestation and filing final accounts under Iraqi labour law.
Job-ready courses built for the Iraqi market — sales, call centre, AI at work, Odoo accounting — available as self-paced courses or live cohorts with QR-verified certificates.
One focused hour, one to one, with Ayat Mohammed — practising lawyer, HRCI-certified HR professional and founder of MasterMinds.
Implementation, data migration, and custom module engineering for accounting, sales, inventory, purchasing and CRM — configured for Arabic and IQD from day one.
Professionally written CVs in Arabic, English or both, formatted for applicant tracking systems (ATS). Includes a review of your current CV, with an optional 48-hour VIP service.
Custom web platforms, customer portals and internal tools — designed, engineered, deployed and maintained with bilingual Arabic and English support built in.
Hand a complete operational function to us and keep your core team focused on what only they can do — managed by our dedicated specialist teams.
Employment contracts, salary scale design, company policies, performance frameworks and the robust internal system your business relies upon.
International technical crews, management specialists, and expatriate personnel sourced across nationalities to fill critical local project skills gaps.
Single-entry, multi-entry and exit visas, work permits and legal residency clearance for expat staff entering and working in Iraq.
Monthly payroll runs with signed bilingual payslips in IQD or USD, reconciling attendance, tax withholding and social deductions to source records.
Certified legal and business document translation for contracts, financial audits and official filings, plus live consecutive interpretation.
