Jobs in Dubai – Impact of Reforms
Recently several reforms have been initiated by UAE Government and many others in the region are following similar trends. All these reforms, which we will discuss soon, are having a major impact on the overall market recovery and hence impacting the job market in middle east.
Middle East has been attracting people from all over the world, East or West, equally. Tax free (well almost) regime, political stability, cultural accommodation, growing market and excellent salaries were main attractions. The vacancies in Dubai mainly were more home bound and always attracted job seekers from all over the world. The openness of the market had a big impact on the number of jobs available.
Visa reforms, reforms related to ownership of companies in mainland, attractive licensing pricing and policies and long term commitment to retaining talents within the country are the main attractions of the recent announcement by the UAE government. The impact of these slowly started showing with large number of new companies being formed across various free zones such as TECOM, DIC, SHAMS, and others.
There are going to be huge job opportunities in Dubai, a hub of Middle East market. These will be mainly in Marketing, IT, Sales, Accounting and Finance, Engineering, and Oil and Gas. Being the most efficient and biggest logistic hub, Dubai attracts talents from all over the world. Job vacancies in Dubai will mark a paradigm shift in terms of skills, from all over the world to the Middle East, all attracted to the latest jobs in Dubai.
It is expected that there will be surge in jobs in Dubai in coming years, starting from the fueling of the funding from refund of labour deposits and Expo 2020 and other catalysts. The job seekers should be careful of the fake job offering and should rely on trustworthy and reliable service providers. They should avoid spurious and bogus agents and always counter check the offers/postings with original provider/company. In case of doubt we always recommend to contact us via our website jobultra.com
And then there are a large number of job websites, many of them providing outdated and obsolete data and information. There are several free job posting sites, with limited features and limited search capabilities. A job seeker should look at sites which are fresh, such as Jobs in Dubai & India.com which offer new lease to the job seeking market with fresh approach.
An important piece of advice to job seekers is to revisit the site week after week as new job postings will appear on live websites and this will allow job seekers to narrow down on good and active job portals.
