With the arrival of, and constant improvement of recruitment software technology, many hiring teams in the UAE have begun to adapt to a new way of recruiting via digital means. This has led to a rapid favoring of automation, recruiters in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can now easily automatically complete manual and administrative duties, fast and efficiently.
If that wasn’t a good enough reason to start automating your recruitment process here are some more:
You are spending too much time reading and qualifying resumes that get sent to you.
If most of your working day is spent reading and reviewing job applications and trying to find the best UAE talent to fit the job role you have posted. Then recruitment automation can provide a fast-screening solution to assist in the screening process. Through machine learning, screening technology will automatically assess a job application and determine if it is an ideal job fit. This kind of process automation takes into consideration skills, experience, job titles and the potential length of experience as job matching criteria.
You are struggling with overcoming unconscious bias
Unconscious bias can creep into the recruitment process at any time. Derived from unconscious perceptions, and judgements that affect the way humans hire. If UAE recruiters do not take proper action, candidates can suffer unfair consequences.
Automated interview technology conducts pre-recorded interviews. To reduce bias, the exact same questions are set by the recruiter for each candidate to answer. UAE hiring teams can then assess each answer individually and compare with other applicant answers easily and without external influences.

First automation blind screens CVs. A candidate’s personally identifiable information is disregarded, and only true qualities related to the job role are considered.
Interacting with real humans has become rare
A common myth is that automation takes over the recruiter’s role. This is simply not true. In fact, many UAE hiring teams chose to automate their recruitment process because it helps in their everyday role. By completing administrative and routine tasks fast and efficiently, recruiters gain back time to maximize the quality of their skill set, including communication and making key hiring decisions.
Sometimes UAE based candidates communication can suffer because of this. Finding themselves unable to provide effective job updates or feedback because of time limits. Recruitment automation can essentially ‘free up’ recruiter time and help them reinvest back into the candidate.
You can never get around to giving each job application the time they deserve
All too often job applications are missed due to recruiters facing tight time restraints. Caused by limited recruiting resources and a potential high volume of applicants. This in turn forces recruiters to cut short their time spent reviewing CVs and lead to some candidates being completely ignored.
