The Middle East's rapid economic evolution drives a need for more innovative, tech-driven workforce solutions, especially in the blue-collar sector. With AI set to contribute an astounding $320 billion to the region's economy by 2030, it’s transforming how blue-collar workers find jobs and employers connect with talent. Traditional recruitment processes often fall short, characterized by lengthy screenings and complex paperwork. Now, AI-driven platforms are reshaping this landscape with powerful algorithms that analyze skills, past work, and cultural fit, reducing hiring costs by up to 50% and cutting time-to-hire in half. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are pioneering this shift. With ambitious visions like UAE’s digital transformation and Saudi’s Vision 2030, AI is no longer just an add-on – it’s a key economic driver. This commitment is helping meet the demand for construction, manufacturing, and services roles while providing a transparent, efficient hiring experience for workers.
