After interviewing a number of employers offering
jobs in Dubai, it is found that the
most difficult jobs to fill are those vacancies that require
skilled manual trades, sales representatives, technicians and engineers. These problems
are being identified by the employers since a long time, which clearly shows
that there is a continued lack of correspondence in these areas.
In Dubai, the most difficult part is to
fill positions of technicians, administrative assistants and workers. The top
management of the companies still keeps on complaining about the availability
of the skilled talent. They state that at home they have a jobs recovery; there
are still drawbacks to fill certain jobs.
The problem is not the number of potential
candidates but, rather, the lack of suitable talent. Today there are not enough
trained people in the right place at the right time. Companies in dubai are looking for
a combination of increasingly specific skills and are less willing to opt for
the early recruitment of staff. All this is summarized in an overview difficult
and frustrating for both the employers and dubai jobs seekers. "
The employers need to broaden their search
for talent, and look for the best candidates from the local workforce to fill
up Dubai job vacancies. Training and
development are the keys to successfully exploit these resources of talent. By
extending the search for talent from untapped and local resources, employers
can make use of the candidates who may not correspond exactly to the position
but may have the suitable educational background. The significant technical
skills possessed by an individual do not remain that important. The important
concerns are the ability, aptitude and motivation, which would help an individual
to learn new skills in the future.
