One of the region’s top recruiters has called on employers to embrace the UAE’s Emiratisation drive as a “great way to pay back the UAE.”
Purwanti Alissa Paille, CEO and founder of Careersbay.com, said: “We’ve been helping a lot of blue chip companies comply with the Emiratisation programmes, but to me I see as much more than work – given so many people like me came from other countries to build our lives here, this is also a way of giving back. It’s a very special feeling when we see more Emiratis take top jobs, and I really encourage companies to embrace it.”
After a successful career at WorldwideWorker.com and Rigzone, the leading global Oil&Gas recruitment and manpower specialist, Purwanti established Careersbay.com in October 2013 as the only specialised recruitment and headhunting company in the Middle East for the HVACR industry.
“In this job you need to realise that a candidate’s talent or skills are not everything: from the outset, our unique strength was to have a flair for the right talent and the right personality for any position, as well as to act as a true career advisor, which is highly appreciated by candidates as well. Since then, Careersbay.com has helped numerous local and MNCs, including media agencies, filling their mid to top-level managerial positions, across the GCC region, as well as organised Careers Fairs.”
