As the GCC countries continue diversifying their economies under ambitious visions like Saudi Vision 2030 and UAE Centennial 2071, there has been a noticeable increase in demand for skilled professionals in technology, green energy, logistics, and financial services.
Recruitment agencies across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar report a 15–20% rise in job openings in Q2 2025 compared to the previous quarter. The UAE, in particular, is driving digital transformation with a strong demand for data analysts, AI engineers, and cybersecurity experts. Simultaneously, Saudi Arabia is focusing on sustainable energy and is actively hiring environmental engineers, project managers, and urban development experts.
Companies are now offering highly attractive packages, including international relocation support, hybrid working models, and career development programs to attract regional and global talent. Major organizations like Aramco, ADNOC, DP World, and NEOM have announced ongoing recruitment drives for strategic roles.
Women’s employment is also gaining momentum. In Saudi Arabia, female workforce participation hit a record 37% in early 2025, with more women entering leadership roles in government and private sectors.
Industry analysts predict that the hiring momentum will continue into 2026, particularly in roles related to AI, ESG compliance, and sustainable construction.
