In our latest Ma'refa Brief, we explored the job market growth in the UAE & KSA and the surge in interest from global talent. With promising career prospects attracting talent from across the globe, these are the key trends which are set to shape the talent landscape in the GCC in the coming months: 1️⃣ Rising Demand for Specialized Skills: With the region's continued growth, there's a soaring need for highly skilled talent - a recent PwC survey showed that 46% of UAE employers and 58% in Saudi Arabia reported gaps, particularly in IT, engineering, and healthcare. 2️⃣ Intensified Competition for Senior Executives: With employers in both the UAE and KSA identifying "management" and "leadership" as critical talent gaps, we can expect companies to fight harder to secure top-level executives in the near future, particularly ones with experience working in the region. As the GCC continues to push its policies and strategic visions further, we will undoubtedly keep seeing a greater pull of global talent, with the brightest minds from around the world choosing the Gulf as a place to prosper.
