Job alert: Careem hiring for 100 positions across UAE, GCC

Careem is Dubai based vehicle for hire company that is a subsidiary of the American company Uber. With operations running in over 100 cities, covering 15 countries including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia regions. And this company created more than one million employment opportunities in the region.

Careem has vacancies for around 100 positions in the UAE and GCC region, the company said.

“Careem is constantly hiring and has grown the team of tigers by almost double since mid-2020. We currently have 100 openings across UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar,” it said in a statement to Khaleej Times.

Careem’s remote-hiring efforts at 2020-end helped tap into the global talent pool. Its engineering department highlighted a very specific set of talent, mostly located in Eastern Europe, with skills of mobile engineers (IOS, Android) and data science/machine learning backend engineers.

Earlier this month, Careem launched a two-month “Officeday” pilot programme that asks employees in the UAE to return to the office for one day each week. The UAE was specifically chosen for the pilot because of its successful progress in its vaccination programme, with over 12 million Covid-19 vaccine shots administered.

The Dubai-headquartered company had implemented its Remote-First rules since September 24, 2020, and is planning to deepen its presence in existing markets that still have high growth potential.

“Careem’s markets have a regional young demographic with 40 per cent under the age of 25 and mobile-first consumers with fast-rising smartphone penetration which is expected to reach 64 per cent by 2022. There are tens of millions of people that are underserved by legacy transport infrastructure who still need to move every day and regions e-commerce is only at two per cent compared to 15 per cent in more developed markets,” it said.
