A stronger focus on regulatory issues, accompanied by fears of the commercial and reputational consequences of non-compliance, has driven demand for banking professionals in operational risk, credit risk and governance roles, as well as internal audit. Retail, corporate and investment banks, and wealth management firms have stepped up recruitment activity; the more specialist candidates knowledge of specific products and financial instruments, the greater they can expect to earn. Mobility programmes in major global banks have raised the profile of Gulf states as destinations of choice for international secondments, setting the bar high for expatriates.

Human Resources
Hiring activity continues to be relatively subdued in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, although demand has picked up in Qatar. HR specialists in compensation and benefits, talent acquisition and organisational development are more likely to receive offers towards the upper end of typical salary ranges than their peers in generalist roles. This trend reflects a growing acknowledgement amongst CEOs and board executives that strategically focused HRDs and senior HR managers can make a tangible difference to corporate performance. For candidates, roles with greater exposure to the frontline business or responsibility for multiple jurisdictions are the most popular.

Energy
Economic diversification initiatives may be well underway, but the oil and gas sector continues to dominate, and skill shortages prevail. Operators, field services and associated specialist manufacturing and supply chain companies have all been hiring. Technical candidates in shortest supply include senior drilling engineers and petroleum engineers, as well as geologists and geoscientists. As always, highly experienced project managers command premiums. If the drive to exploit Iraqs oil reserves generates new roles in largely unchartered territory for the industrys top contractors and senior executives, UAE salaries may be drive upwards; forward-thinking HR directors in some energy companies have already commissioned remuneration benchmarking exercises. With skill shortages elsewhere in the world (notably Australia) already representing stiff competition for good people, talent acquisition and retention strategies in the UAE may require greater attention and resource.

Legal
Multinational corporations expanding their business activities in the Gulf have been stepping up efforts to bring in-house counsel onboard. Amongst the busiest recruiting sectors have been banking, professional services, healthcare, life sciences, FMCG and energy. Those using Qatar, Dubai or Abu Dhabi as flagship regional hubs have been particularly prepared to pay premiums for heads of legal and general counsel with multi-jurisdiction experience in the Gulf, especially for Arabic-speakers.
