The UAE remains a popular destination globally among expatriate workers as employment prospects have increased by up to 8.3 per cent annually and is expected to maintain its upbeat growth this year, a leading Middle East online recruitment portal has said.

The trend is reflected in the surge in the number of job applications from expatriates at its portal, which maintains a huge database of various job candidates that is increasing every day, Careertunity.Com said.

The unique situation of the UAE's job market, which has been dominated by expatriates, has prevented it from being adversely affected by global downturn, ensuring a steady supply of experienced professionals and international executives from abroad, it said.

 

"Several junior, mid-level and senior-level professionals from different countries continue to actively search for gainful employment opportunities in the UAE and this has in turn helped several business organisations in the country to maintain a highly competent pool of manpower resources," Sudeshna Mukherjee, General Manager of Careertunity.Com, said.

Furthermore, proactive services and support facilities have helped maintain strong international interest in the job market of this Gulf country, the portal added.
