Some of the companies that will be taking part and recruiting at the fair are Kingston Stanley, Tips and Toes, Leader Healthcare, Richmond Capital, Allsopp & Allsopp, Chalhoub Group, Genie Recruitment, Parisima Talent, The Loft 5th Avenue and DSR Group, providing an opportunity to job seekers to meet and chat directly with all recruiters and also attend workshops.
Dubai has seen an influx of new professionals and jobseekers in the past few years, looking for greener pastures. In addition to the traditional, South Asian, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern countries, now job seekers are also coming from European markets to benefit from tax-free salary.
The career fair is jointly organised by TishTash Communications and Times Square Centre.
“We have more than 60 brands and companies taking part in some capacity – talks, workshops, pop-ups etc.,” said Natasha Hatherall, CEO at TishTash Communications.
“Times Square Centre aims to unite recruiters and job seekers in one venue to facilitate education, networking, and potential job matches. With the expected high footfall characteristic of career days, this event presents an excellent opportunity to bolster our community support efforts,” said Nancy Ozbek, general manager at Times Square Centre.
“The ‘Work Smart’ event will not only host job hunters and recruiters, but also offer support facilities that provide guidance, coaching, and tips on working smartly. Additionally, it serves as a networking opportunity for everyone to connect with like-minded people, sharing and discussing tips and ideas,” she added.
In addition, job seekers will also have an opportunity to get tips about CVs, using social media to find a job, confidence tips, dressing for job interviews and how to change careers. Jobseekers will also be able to attend workshops on interview role play and mindset techniques when job hunting.
Transguard Group, which provides security, facilities management, cash services and white-collar staffing services, will hold an open day to recruit limousine drivers at Emirates Headquarters in Dubai over the weekend.
The company, which employs 61,000 people, will conduct interviews for limousine drivers on Saturday, May 25, 2024.

This role in particular offers qualified applicants the opportunity to support one of the UAE’s leading airlines as well as to work directly with VIP passengers,” said Cathy Masters, director for aviation at Transguard.
Applicants must have a UAE driving license issued in or before May 2022 and two years of relevant experience. There is no pre-registration required.
