Top Government Jobs for Expats and Market Outlook in the UAE – June 2025 Update

Second Half of 2025 Market Outlook

Hiring activity has slowed as the year progresses, primarily due to the introduction of a new corporate tax system and ongoing global economic uncertainties. Although transport and logistics sectors show positive signs, the overall job market is competitive, with limited vacancies and stagnant salary growth. Additionally, many companies are reconsidering their recruitment plans amid the rising influence of AI and automation, postponing major hiring decisions until late 2025 after completing tax filings for 2026.

Summer Recruitment & Government Opportunities for Expats

Contrary to common belief, recruitment continues during the summer months and sometimes even intensifies, though interview processes may experience delays. Government jobs remain especially appealing to expatriates because of their job security, benefits, and long-term stability.

The Dubai government is actively recruiting skilled professionals, offering competitive salaries reaching up to AED 50,000 per month. Available positions are listed on the official website dubaicareers.ae.
