A word from the CEO Introducing Halian’s inaugural GCC Market Report and Salary Guide 2024! I am thrilled to present to you Halian’s first-ever GCC Market Report and Salary Guide. This comprehensive report is not just a reflection of current salary benchmarks but a narrative of the evolving job market trends in this region. In these pages, you’ll find a detailed index on sector-specific salaries like technology, commercial & finance, and digital. In the middle of 2023, we saw a slight dip in job openings influenced by various economic factors and global events. Still, the future outlook is positive, with our survey revealing that 83% of employees in the GCC are planning to change jobs in 2024, and 67% of employers in the region are sure to increase their workforce in 2024. With upcoming projects in the region that include the Saudi Vision 2030 and We the UAE 2031 initiatives, we can expect a surge of opportunities for job seekers in 2024. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all who participated in our survey. This market report won’t be possible without your contribution and support.
