Hiring activity in the Middle East is slowly increasing, creating more opportunities for job seekers. According to recent data, employer confidence is improving, and recruitment demand is increasing in key industries. This blog discusses what this hiring boom means for candidates and how Dynamic Staffing Services can help you capitalise on it.
Strong Growth Across Key Industries
Online hiring activity in the Middle East increased by 21% year on year in October 2025, with the hiring index jumping from 141 in October 2024 to 171 in October 2025. Month on month, hiring also grew by 12%, showing continued momentum rather than short-term recovery.
Recruitment demand has risen 14% over the past three months and 10% over the past six months, indicating a stable upward trend. At Dynamic Staffing Services, we closely monitor these movements to help candidates make timely and informed career decisions.
Various sectors are contributing to this expansion. The IT and telecom sector registered a 34% year-over-year increase, followed by production and manufacturing at 26% and engineering and construction at 14%, which went on to continue the trend of employing skilled professionals, especially those with technical, operational, and project-based experience.
Even though industries like FMCG, advertising, and oil and gas have experienced a slowdown in activity, the overall hiring forecast remains upbeat for candidates in core technical and infrastructure-driven roles.
Roles in High Demand
Hiring growth is also visible across specific job functions. HR and administration roles have seen a growth of 17% yearly, engineering and production roles of 14%, and purchase, logistics, and supply chain roles of 9%. This highlights a strong demand for professionals who support operations, manage the workforce, and handle large-scale projects. Candidates who have the right experience in these fields will be able to leverage the current hiring trends if they are guided properly.
Country-Level Opportunities
At the national level, the UAE recorded an 18% annual rise in hiring, led by engineering and construction, with 36% growth. Saudi Arabia saw a slight overall dip, but production and manufacturing roles surged by 96%, showing clear sector-specific demand.
