The hiring decisions are linked to internal and external factors that include the upcoming Expo 2020, Saudi’s mega-projects for vision 2030, FIFA World cup, together with the investments in the region. Giving a significant momentum to hiring across UAE compared to previous years. We have witnessed an increased number of job vacancies in Dubai especially in emerging functions such as digital marketing, app development, analytics and IT security.

The last few months has seen a huge demand for high-skilled caliber in commercial banking, finance and accounting, and information technology professions. We see lot of traction in the employment scene in Dubai even when companies saw consolidation of functions and departments within their organizations. In addition, the government spending and the relative private spending is giving a thrust to the job market in Dubai which is expected to grow faster.

We are sharing some real-time view of talent requirements or jobs by function specifically in the UAE.

Jobs in UAE – outlook for 2020

The swift pace at which technologies and business models are evolving, there is an inevitable talent and skills crunch globally. 2030 job market is expected be one of scarcity in abundance - there are plenty of skilled people, but not enough with the skills required by organizations.

While the traditional sales and marketing, finance and accounting, and project manager jobs in Dubai will continue to see a steady rise, the candidates who will bring business acumen, problem-solving and critical thinking will have an advantage. Industries that are growing on skills demand include financial services, insurance, and government services. Those with qualifications and experience in cybersecurity security, systems administration, data analysts, as well personal assistants are likely to see a growing demand across well-established industries such as oil and gas, aviation, transportation and healthcare.

Having said that, there is a rich blend of local national and well as expat talent in UAE and the future belongs to the gig or millennial jobs in Dubai and worldwide. In comparison to last four years there is not a better time to find a job in the UAE. However, job seekers should be cautious to not expect salaries that were prevalent six years ago, this is the time when companies are cost-conscious.
