BFSI has been a strong performing sector over the past year. According to a previous survey by recruiting firm, Reach, banking & finance is one of the best performing sectors in the job market.
Statics from another recruitment firm Robert Half UAE also point to that. Figures show that professional in banking, accounting and finance, are in demand and this is likely to go up in the months to come.
Healthcare, which has continued with its momentum, is likely to see more demand for personnel as new hospitals and clinics open across the country.
