Bayt isn’t limited to Dubai. In fact, this website claims to be “The Middle East’s # 1 job site”. It covers the entire Mid-East and North African region. Over 20,000 employers are currently looking for recruits in Dubai. The website is free for job seekers. Interface is easy to use, and there are plenty of job searching options. You can create a CV, and submit it to employers. Other standard job website features are available like resume building, job alerts etc. The reason this site is on the top spot is because of the sheer number of job seekers and jobs on it. It claims there are more than 1.5 million job seekers on the website. And many have found jobs here.

2. Monster Gulf

Monster is one of the biggest international job seeking portal. And Monster Gulf is the Gulf region branch of the company. It has some of the best features available to you as a job seeker, and you have excellent job opportunities with Monster Gulf.

3. Gulf Talent

Another great website. It has one of the best user interfaces, and provides most of features needed in a job seeking website. Admittedly, the head hunting is a little strict. But it provides some of the best jobs in the country. Here is a chance to show your talents and brighten your future.

4. Naukri Gulf

If employers ask for a fee during the hiring process, it’s a fraud. Yet, it won’t hurt if you post and spread your CV around job sites, though.

5. Dubizzle

Great website for jobs in UAE. It has thousands of registered recruiters who are willing to employ professionals.

6. CareerJet Dubai

Does it look familiar? I’ve frequently consulted careerjet.ph before, I just came to know it has its AE version. Worth checking.

7. Khaleej Times

Save a penny by checking out Khaleej Times Appointment section online. Whether skilled, technical or professional jobs, this online job site has something for you.

8. GulfNewsJobs

 The online version of Gulf Newspaper’s job section. I’ve used this site quite a lot while I was looking for any job to get me an employment and residence visa. I got at least one call for an interview every day, then. The key is to ask directly about the salary, to weed out the cheapskates.

9. TheEmiratesNetwork Jobs

their FAQs say they are not a recruitment agency. You register, upload your CV and/or apply for jobs advertised on TEN jobs (can view without registering). No Terms of Use page obvious, presumably there’s no charges for job-seekers. Job vacancies are posted by companies and recruitment agencies who pay about 35 dhs – 60 dhs per job posting. They announced a tie-up with Clarendon Parker Middle East (CPME) in July 2007. CPME seems to be one of the better recruitment agencies in Dubai.

10. Nadia

Always amazed by the huge salaries offered to job-seekers, Nadia never slipped my memory. Little do job surfers know, Nadia is not just a part of daily Gulf newspapers Appointment page, but also an active job site itself. It has a downside though: most offers were for Arabic-speaking job-hunters.
