UAE Companies Need More Freelancers From Asia

Web Desk — United Arab Emirates (UAE) based companies are planning to hire freelancers from other countries in order to drastically cut down costs of doing business.

Recent reports suggest that the UAE companies are planning to target freelancers from Asia, Middle East, and South Africa. They will be paid up to 75% less than the full-time employees.

According to a recruitment agency Genie, a lot of UAE companies will actually help you set up an entire remote working team in places where salaries are less than the UAE and train them. Genie’s Niki Wilson says most companies might consider this model as a cheaper alternative in the long run.

The fields that could hire freelancers include sales leads, technology, data and performance marketing.

Other fields that require remote employees are customer service, consultancy, marketing and communication, creative design, software engineer or data analyst, recruitment, and back office administration.

According to HR firm Adecco Middle East, if the role is niche, strategic, demands a high level of expertise and technical skills, these individuals are paid even higher than the non-remote employee.

UAE also offers remote work visas to people wishing to find work.
