“We are pleased to be joining the 2009 edition of the fair as a full-fledged government department, which provides us with greater flexibility to promote our electronic services. We want to emphasize our online employment search and recruitment offerings, which complements the regional efforts to rationalize and further boost the UAE’s job markets. We look forward to launching the careers of deserving candidates, especially UAE national jobseekers,” said H.E. Ahmed Mohammad Bin Humaidan, Director General, Dubai eGovernment.

eJob, is an updated version of the online recruitment portal of Dubai eGovernment’s centralized job search portal. The system provides an electronic platform for job seekers and recruiting departments to interact. Both full-time and part-time jobs are offered by the online service.

“Dubai eGovernment is a central component in the Emirate’s goal of becoming a digital society. It is very fitting that one of our initial activities as a new government department, is to assist in employment, which reflects our important role in both social and economic development. We invite the citizens of UAE to explore and take advantage of the various services we offer,” concluded H.E. Thani Abdullah Al Zafeen, CEO, Dubai eGovernment.

Dubai eGovernment was formally declared a full government department by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, in his capacity as Ruler of Dubai, under Law no 7 of 2009. Dubai eGovernment manages more than 2,000 services after starting with an initial set of 14, thus making Dubai one of the few governments in the world to provide fully integrated electronic services to its citizens, residents and businesses.
