Employers in the UAE have revealed that they are planning to start hiring new employees very soon, particularly in the real estate, banking, hospitality, public relations, and entertainment fields.
Nearly seven in 10 employers in the UAE have said that they are planning to hire in a year's time, the latest Middle East Job Index Survey by Bayt.com has found. From those surveyed, 75 per cent of UAE respondents claim that their company has hired new employees in the past 12 months.
Within the next three months, 52 per cent of UAE employers said that they are 'definitely' or 'probably' going to hire; with 45 per cent of the interested parties looking to hire for junior executive roles, followed by 28 per cent who intend to hire a coordinator, and 27 per cent intending to hire a manager.
Several respondents in the UAE also said they are looking to hire a sales executive at 22 per cent, while 15 per cent said they want to hire a customer service representative. Private sector companies have the highest intention to hire in the next three months, with 54 per cent of large local companies, 52 per cent of multinational companies and 51 per cent of other private sector companies, 'definitely' or 'probably' hiring. Looking at future hiring expectations, nearly 70 per cent of employers in the UAE claim that they intend to hire in a year's time.
Private-sector companies continue to have the highest hiring intentions in a year's time, with 69 per cent of large local companies, 69 per cent of other private sector companies, and 68 per cent of multinational companies saying that they will be 'definitely hiring' or 'probably hiring'.
"The hiring forecast in the UAE is looking promising, with 69 per cent of UAE employers planning to hire in a year's time and more than half planning to hire within three months," said Suhail Masri, VP of Employer Solutions at Bayt.com. "It is also worth mentioning that 39 per cent of those planning to hire predict having at least five vacancies to fill this year."
Another survey by the London Business School (LBS) also revealed that 77 per cent of regional business executives believe that incubating national talent contributes to economic diversification strategies in the Middle East. The survey highlights Emiratisation and other GCC nationalisation policies as key factors enabling diversification and growth in the economy.
Nouf Al Khalifa, director of External Relations Middle East, LBS Dubai Centre, said: "The UAE has enjoyed an influx of world-class talent over the past decade particularly in the private sector, and this is set to continue ahead of Expo 2020. This influx allows locals to have further opportunities to grow across sectors and industries that collectively benefit the country over the long term."
