“In order to match their quickly changing tactics, recruiters are searching for people with the appropriate capabilities. A university degree or a few years of work experience are no longer sufficient qualifications. According to Najat Abdelhadi, to differentiate yourself from the competition, you must possess the abilities that will increase business productivity and growth.
“Skills have really grown to be so important that, on average, between 2015 and 2022 in the UAE, the necessary skills across industries changed by 27%. The rate of change has also quickened because of the Covid-19 epidemic that is reshaping the labour market. Therefore, job searchers must keep up with the most recent skills required for their positions, said Abdelhadi.
