If you’ve ever spent hours scrolling through “global” job boards only to find irrelevant listings halfway across the world, you’re not alone. Many job seekers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) discover quickly that these platforms simply don’t deliver what they need.
Sure, they may look shiny and international, but let’s be honest: generic job sites don’t really work for MENA job seekers. The region needs a platform that understands its unique hiring trends, cultural nuances, and fast-changing priorities, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
International platforms are great at being global… but not so great at being local. The result?
Irrelevant results: You search for “Dubai jobs,” but end up seeing listings in Toronto.
Minimal local employers: Many regional companies don’t even bother posting there.
Expired postings: You apply, only to find the role closed weeks ago.
Out-of-touch descriptions: Job ads often miss what hiring really looks like here.
In short: you get a lot of noise, very little signal.
The MENA region has distinct dynamics that global boards just don’t capture:
Nationalization policies: Saudi’s Saudization and the UAE’s Emiratization shape hiring directly.
Mega-projects and Vision 2030: Opportunities tied to transformative developments are rarely visible on international sites.
Language matters: Many jobs require Arabic fluency, which global sites often overlook.
Industry cycles: Oil & gas, tourism, and fintech hiring run on different timelines here.
That’s why job seekers end up frustrated on generic platforms—it’s like trying to use a global map for a local street search.
