UAE businesses continue to hire despite the pressures of the global economy, albeit with more financial prudence. According to recent hiring trends, there are still job openings in a variety of industries, particularly in technology, healthcare, and finance, but many businesses are enforcing more stringent rules to strike a balance between cost control and recruitment.
According to industry experts, companies are adjusting their hiring strategies to fit the new financial realities, primarily as a result of the September corporate tax deadline. Companies now prefer contract positions, part-time jobs, and internal promotions over full-time recruiting as a result of this increased financial responsibility.
Additionally, hiring procedures are changing, according to recruitment agencies, with a greater focus on multi-skilled workers capable of handling hybrid tasks. Quality is now more important to employers than quantity, and they are looking for applicants who can adapt to different roles and provide quick value.
Jobseekers are encouraged to strategically customise applications, highlight cross-functional talents, and maintain flexibility in an ever-changing employment landscape driven by fiscal awareness, even though the labour market is still active.
