The firm, which operates in the UAE and wider Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) region, aims to access the metaverse’s wide talent pool and support the hiring needs of the Dubai Metaverse Strategy to create more jobs in the country.
This is in line with the Dubai Metaverse Strategy which was launched by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed in July. The strategy aims to contribute $4 billion to Dubai’s economy within five years and to support 40,000 virtual jobs, striving to position the emirate as one of the world’s top 10 players in the metaverse economy.
According to Marc Ellis, recruiters will have greater access to candidates as the company anticipates more users will continue to shift themselves into the digital space where they can apply for jobs in a safer and more interactive way due to the security and privacy offered by blockchain processes and immersive technologies that can be used to complement their interactions on the metaverse.
