West Asia job boom may benefit India

INDIA is likely to benefit from the ongoing boom in the West Asian job market, especially in sectors that demand highly specialised skills, says Arun Tadanki, president and managing director of global online recruitment service monster.com.

“The Gulf region has emerged as one of the major markets for the recruitment industry and Monster has decided to make a foray in this market with an exclusive site, www.monstergulf.com , for it,” Tadanki said in an interview in New Delhi recently.

“The site would cover eight countries in this region: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Lebanon,” he added.

“Apart from a large number of expatriates already working in West Asia, high mobility of domestic job seekers within the region also present a unique opportunity,” Tadanki said.— IANS
