In the Middle East, expanding industries such as oil & gas, BFSI, and IT & telecom are increasing employment opportunities and helping to enhance the adoption of recruitment and staffing solutions across the region. The expansion of oil production activities in Middle Eastern countries is propelling the need for qualified professionals. According to Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman, Saudi Arabia plans to increase oil production by over 1 million barrels per day by the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027. The expansion in oil production will create new job opportunities in the oil & gas segment and boost the adoption of staffing and recruitment solutions across organizations, thereby contributing to the Middle East staffing & recruitment market growth.

Qatar National Bank, QatarEnergy, Qatar Foundation, Qatar Airways, and Ooredoo are among the mass recruiting organizations. Such factors propel the the Middle East staffing & recruitment market size in the BFSI sector.
The healthcare sector is witnessing continuous growth due to increasing health awareness, affordable and accessible healthcare facilities, aging population, growing health concerns, and changing attitudes toward preventive healthcare. Healthcare is among the sectors that require employees in huge volume. Staffing and recruitment solutions play an essential role in the healthcare industry by providing qualified staff and ensuring the facility has the right personnel for the job. The pharmaceutical market in the UAE is creating new job opportunities, which boosts the adoption of recruitment and staffing solutions across the country. According to Abu Dhabi Holding Company, the UAE pharmaceutical market is expected to grow by 27% from 2021 to 2025. The UAE is striving to become a regional pharmaceutical hub. According to a recruitment consultancy, there is a high demand for nurses, laboratory technicians, and doctors/physicians in the UAE healthcare sector.
