What we do

Insight, not guesswork

The same question about Emirati talent, two very different answers.

The usual options

Slow, costly, generic

Global frameworks and stale lists, not a live read of the UAE national talent market.

  • Big consultancies take weeks and charge brand-sized fees
  • Built on global benchmarks, not the UAE national market
  • Static reports that are stale on arrival
  • Free registries only show people who opted in
With

Fast, focused, current

A specialist read of the one market that matters to your targets: Emirati talent.

  • Built specifically around the Emirati talent market
  • On-demand and role-specific, fresh each time
  • Demand and supply in one view, with honest confidence ranges

One brief is all we need to start.

Independent by design. No placement to push and no per-hire fee — just the clearest, most honest read of the market, so your decisions are better-informed.

The opportunity

Emiratisation made it an information problem

If you have national targets to hit, the hard part isn't knowing you must hire; it's knowing where the talent is.

Targets with real weight

National hiring targets carry real weight — an open national seat stays a live problem until it's filled. The cost of not knowing where the talent is only compounds.

Supply is the bottleneck

Demand is visible in public postings. The real constraint is finding where qualified Emirati talent actually exists, and at what cost.

Free tools don't map the market

National jobseeker registries show people who opt in. They don't map passive talent, or give you competitive and market intelligence.

How it works

Three steps to a clear answer

We assemble the intelligence. You make the call.

Step 1

Tell us the question

  • A role to map, a market to size, or a gap to understand
  • A short brief is enough to start
  • We agree scope, format, and a fixed fee
Step 2

We assemble the intelligence

  • We read public hiring data and professional profiles
  • We map demand against Emirati supply
  • Everything carries honest confidence ranges
Step 3

You get a dated deliverable

  • A report or dashboard (aggregate, no named individuals)
  • Or, for licensed recruiters, a research extract
  • You verify and decide what happens next

Most engagements start with one question and grow from there.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What's taqat's role in hiring?
We provide the market intelligence and research — the analysis and the leads. The hiring itself sits with you and your recruiters.
What do you actually deliver?
For employers and government: dated reports and dashboards on Emirati supply, demand, and gaps, with no named individuals. For licensed recruiters: a research extract to support their own search. Every deliverable is a point-in-time snapshot, dated “accurate as of.”
Who do you work with?
Employers with national targets, government and semi-government bodies, and licensed recruiters and HR consultancies.
How do you handle data and privacy?
We work to a purpose-limited, minimal-retention standard, and we'll confirm the specifics with you before any engagement.
What does it cost?
A fixed project fee, scoped per engagement. No contingency, no per-hire fees, no subscriptions. We'll walk you through the number on a quick call.
How current is the data?
Every deliverable is dated and accurate as of that date. A refresh is a new, separate project, so the data is as current as the engagement you commission.
Which locations do you cover?
UAE-wide, with depth depending on the sector and role. Tell us what you need and we'll tell you how we can help.
