Ideal Resources for the Evolving HR Sector
HR specialists are in demand. The job market is ripe and the number of opportunities in the Levant,
Gulf and North Africa is increasing. Because the demand is for specialized HR professionals, this meansthat getting certified (PHRor SPHR) is more important than ever.
In the past firms hired generalists who could handle the different facets of HR. Today theres asignificant shift where focused expertise is valued. For instance senior L&D and compensation andreward professionals and career recruiters are especially sought out at the moment. The good news isthat juniors can still be generalists, exploring the different roles and learning different skills. But midand senior level HR professionals are expected to have a specific forte. But why is this shift taking place?Because HR is becoming more complex and is evolving with the changing workplace and technology.
This shift isnt just happening in the West. It is a trend in the UAE, Qatar, KSA and Kuwait. Globalizationmeans multinational firms are expanding and setting up regional offices. It also means that the oncecommon EMEA structure is being replaced with Europe on its own and the MEA region encompassingmore Asian nations. This translates into more fulfilling opportunities for HR directors.
In the Middle East, the HR market is an unusual mixture of old-school personnel departments, focusing purely onadministration, and contemporary HR teams providing strategic guidance and leadership for their organisation.
Although there appears to be an increasing trend towards the creation of commercial and business-focused HR
departments, evidenced by the increasing demand for HR business partner expatriates, the challenge remains toeducate rms who stick resolutely to the purely administrative HR function.
