The Future for Recruitment and Pay in Dubai

Where once hoteliers had their pick of jobs in Dubai now it is the employers who once again have the bargaining power as the economic crisis makes itself felt. Where will we find all the people we are going to need to run all our hotels opening in the next two years? Where will we house them? How can we stop our staff from jumping to the latest hotel for a few Dirhams more per week? How do we keep expatriate compensation packages from spiralling out of control? Why is it so tough and expensive to find and hire good talent?
