Professionals looking for new positions in Q2 this year totalled 45,575. This represents a 30% increase on the 35,138 that were seeking work in Q1, and a 12% rise in Q2 2013.

Sectors that are particularly buoyant include construction, manufacturing, banking and tourism.

“Q2 is always a significant time for hiring in the region, especially this year with Ramadan beginning in late June and companies pre-planning for the summer slowdown.”
