And the white-collar recruiter’s UAE Employment Monitor also finds an increase in demand for procurement professionals.
The study shows 6,458 vacancies in the period, up 2% on Q2, and a 15% leap from the 5,611 vacancies seen in Q3 2012.
The total of 35,790 professional jobseekers in Q3 2012 is up a fifth on the level seen in the previous year, and up 9% on Q2.
Morgan McKinley’s managing director for the UAE, Trefor Murphy, comments: “Entrepreneurial dealmakers who have had experience working in more established markets such as London, New York and Hong Kong are particularly sought after. As we move into 2014 and beyond, we expect to see this activity continue as companies persist in seeking out the most profitable avenues for growth.
“In the same vein, we have also noted an increase in demand for procurement specialists with strong international backgrounds who are able to implement sophisticated systems and processes to provide greater value for money.”
