The Problem

Rope access recruitment is broken.

CV dumps, not qualified candidates

Your agency sent you 10 CVs. Not one had a valid IRATA cert, the right trade skills, or a current medical. You needed a Level 3 with PAUT. They sent Level 1s with no trade. You lost two days you didn't have.

One invalid cert voids your insurance

IRATA certs expire every 3 years. GWO every 24 months. BOSIET every 4 years. Medicals every 2 years. Your last agency didn't check. A technician with an expired cert on your site isn't just a compliance failure — it's an insurance void and a criminal liability.

Technicians ghost because no one treats them like professionals

They register with five agencies and hear back from none. Rates are opaque. Project details are vague. They get placed once and never called again. The industry's best technicians stop answering agency calls — and you lose access to the talent you need.

Why Sultan

We verify before we present. Every time.

Industry-specialist recruiters — former rope access professionals who know the difference between PAUT and TOFD, between an Iqama and a Share Code.

Based in Dubai at the geographic centre of the North Sea ↔ GCC ↔ APAC rotation. Your people follow the work, and we make the match.

Seasonal demand intelligence mapping contract cycles 3–6 months ahead. We contact you before you contact us.

credentials verified last quarter

23 had expired certs the technicians didn't know about. Those are 23 insurance voids that never happened.

How It Works

Three steps from brief to hire.

Brief us

Tell us the role, the certs, the trade skills, the timeline, and the site. No forms. No portals. A conversation with someone who understands the work.

We verify and match

Every technician presented has live-verified credentials, confirmed availability, and matched trade qualifications. No stale CVs. No guesswork. No 'close enough.'

Crew on site

We coordinate the logistics — visas, travel, medicals, inductions — so your team arrives ready to work. Not just CV-submitted. Certified, insured, and cleared.

Hire the right people

Whether you need technicians for a turnaround, a site manager for a wind farm, or a project director for an offshore campaign — we find the right people for every role.

Who You'll Work With

Edina Sultan

Founder & Managing Director

Former Group COO of a major rope access contractor in the UAE. Over a decade managing IRATA-certified teams across 12 countries — oil & gas shutdowns, offshore platforms, wind farms, and high-rise construction.

Saw firsthand how broken recruitment was in this industry. CV dumps with expired certs. Technicians ghosted after one job. Employers gambling on unverified candidates. Good people on both sides getting a bad deal.

Built Sultan Recruitment to fix it — one verified match at a time.
