Qatar looking to hire in financial sector
Qatar's emerging financial sector is looking to fill more than 5,200 vacancies this year as the country's banks and investment entities defy the regional downturn, The National reported Saturday (March 6th). With new jobs filled, the number of people working in the financial sector will rise to more than 20,000, according to a study by recruiting firm Kinsey Allen International. The number of financial hires increased by an average of 35% over the past four years, said James Bridgman, the head of the firm's Middle East division. "This wave of job creation is being driven by the overall strength of the economy and the foreign money flooding into Qatar," he added.
