Jana Saab – Content Writer
Hiring professional talent needs a well-planned strategy, a determined candidate, and a focus on permanent goals.
A successful company must shed light on its needs as it evolves. Indeed, the hiring process needs time and energy to be achieved. Bringing new talent to your company is important to enhance it. This shows that it is not only about hiring new candidates; instead, the new talent should meet the requirements and align with the vision of the company. The GCC region has thriving and developing economies. From finance, oil, and gas to healthcare organizations, the GCC region is the right place for hiring talents.
On the other hand, hiring a suitable candidate is challenging due to cultural differences, various workforce backgrounds, employee retention, and more.

Then, how can you hunt for talented candidates in this competitive market?
The following strategies help develop the hiring process at UAE companies.
Craft a compelling job description
It is known that employees exert effort when submitting an application. On the other hand, employers should create suitable job descriptions. To be more specific, include the benefits you offer and not only what you require from the candidate.
Indeed, avoid biased language by focusing on the company only. This can be avoided by utilizing certain terminology in the requirements. Based on research studies conducted by Great Place to Work®, 87% of the employees at the company believe that it is a great place to work.
Focus on skills-based recruiting strategies
It is noteworthy to state that it is not all about the university degree; instead, skills matter as well. Even though some positions require certain certifications and requirements, focusing on experience, ability, and passion is important and guarantees the continuity of the work at the company.
Additionally, having a great knowledge of the best ways to inspire innovation and creativity is important here. Developing the skills of the employee through training and mentoring sessions contributes to the enhancement of the company. All in all, you must think outside the box about hiring people who meet the core values of the company.
Appreciate the value of the employee.
You can show your culture, highlight the importance of workplace camaraderie, and stress the top tips to foster diversity and inclusion in the company. In this way, the new employee can feel that he or she is valued. Moreover, emphasize the growth opportunities and health benefits that you offer. Therefore, employees’ productivity will be enhanced.
Increases productivity
When a qualified employee is hired in the right place, he or she can play a key role in the development of the company. Additionally, when you invest in the right employees, they can drive high profits. Furthermore, they understand the aims of the company and align with its vision. Additionally, having a healthy company culture boosts their productivity, and it can be achieved by knowing the benefits of investing in company culture.
Consumes less time
The hiring process is not an easy task. In addition, receiving CVs and replying to job applications is time-consuming. Also, the new employee needs to be provided with training and mentoring sessions. This helps him or her get involved in the culture of the company. However, this needs time to be achieved. That’s why you have to be selective when it comes to choosing the right candidate.
Enhances teamwork
Hiring a suitable and talented person in the company means that he or she has excellent communication skills, which helps in dealing with other team members. It also helps in developing trust and respect among employees. Indeed, they can share ideas and master problem-solving skills, which helps in gathering ideas, reducing misunderstandings, and finding the right solutions.
