Where We Source. Why It Works.
We focus exclusively on high-rigor talent markets across Egypt and the broader Middle East — offering 6–7 hours of Canadian timezone overlap, elite technical education, and bilingual English fluency.
GEOGRAPHIES
Our Sourcing Hubs
Where we recruit, and why each geography works for Canadian businesses.
Hire from Egypt
Egypt is the deepest talent pool Obelisk recruits from. Cairo, Alexandria, and Giza produce STEM-trained, English-fluent professionals, and talent placed through Obelisk works a shifted afternoon-to-evening Cairo schedule that overlaps Canadian Eastern time by 6–7 working hours daily. Brief to Day-1 typically in about 10 days, on a single Canadian B2B contract in CAD.
Timezone & Overlap
6–7 working hours daily with Canadian Eastern / Atlantic time
Hire from the Middle East
Obelisk Talent recruits from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and the wider Middle East. Sourcing across the region (rather than from a single country) means a deeper matching pool, bilingual English/Arabic coverage, and structural diversification against single-country political or infrastructure risk. Every placement is one of our pre-vetted, full-time dedicated professionals, and the same shifted-schedule overlap applies wherever they are based: 6–7 hours of daily Eastern Canadian working overlap, on one B2B contract in CAD.
Timezone & Overlap
6–7 working hours daily, wherever the talent is based with Canadian Eastern / Atlantic time
