Uber has decided to cut off its local recruitment agents and instead have new drivers register directly through the ride-hailing app, sources close to the company tell Al Mal. The motives behind the decision remain unclear, but the sources noted that Uber previously provided its agents with a EGP 500 per head hiring bonus for each driver they brought in after completing 40 rides. An unnamed agent tells the newspaper that he intends to file a lawsuit against Uber for the “abrupt” move, and will be seeking monetary compensation.
