How to stand out in the UAE job market

With the MENA region becoming increasingly desirable to candidates from all across the globe, the competition for jobs is intensifying.

The simple fact is this: If you’re not doing everything you can to stand out in this market, you’re invisible. 

We live in an incredibly unique part of the world in so many ways. 

It’s geographically close to highly mobile populations who are keen to relocate, the standard of living is one of the highest in the world and the market is booming. 

To us, it’s no surprise that every Job Advert we post gets thousands of applicants. 

A study in June last year put Doha and Dubai at the top of the most competitive job markets in the world. 

This level of activity is the new norm and it means the old methods are broken.

LinkedIn Easy Apply is not going to get you a new job. 

It’s a needle in a haystack amplified by 10 and even with cutting edge AI and ATS systems, it still leaves you at a huge disadvantage. 

So how do you stand out?
