HR and Recruitment Jobs Expected to Grow Due to Tourism in Dubai

Human resources and recruitment jobs are responsible for maximizing the return an organization seeks to derive from its workforce. Their roles include facilitating the hiring process, employee performance, employee relations, compensation and benefits, training and development, and behavior management. Many organizations have become more people focused, which means they are seeking to find and retain the highest level of personnel possible. People are now seen as the greatest asset which has made HR and recruitment one of the most important determining factors of success or failure in any organization.

With the stressed importance of human resources and recruitment there has been an increased level of pay and prestige. The job sector is expected to increase along with the competition. The advent of the internet has caused a major shift in the ability of companies to find and recruit top talent. Firms can now advertise a single position to an audience of millions of people with the click of a button.

Dubai’s economy, which has mainly been based on tourism, is now seeking to diversify its economic base by attracting organizations to begin operations in the city. Dubai has set up regions within the city set aside for specific businesses. Regions include Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, which form the larger TECOM (Dubai Technology, Electronic Commerce and Media Free Zone Authority). There is also a Dubai outsourcing zone where companies involved in outsourcing operate. With Dubai’s focus on attracting businesses to the city there is certainly a major increase in demand for HR and recruitment professionals.
