March 19, 2020

With economic growth in the UAE which is ‘set to accelerate’ by the government for the years to come, firms that provide specialist services such as Accounting and Audit are one of the highest demand in the UAE. Robert Half company in UAE has recently issued a survey which reveals the top demanded jobs in UAE. According to my personal knowledge, the list can be prolonged due to UAE market is boosting and economy is further growing.

I would recommend for every candidate to not only know and be passionate about own profession but diligently grow the set skills to gain competitive advantage on the market. Specialist technology skills, industry experience, soft skills and systems knowledge are most in-demand. The search for bilingual candidates in the legal and finance sectors is also set to increase, as companies look to comply with international best practice standards.

1. Management accountants
2. CFOs
3. Risk managers
4. Heads of digital/digital transformation
5. Artificial intelligence (AI) developers
6. HR business partners
7. Talent acquisition specialists
8. Legal counsel
