SDHR hosts employment day with Al Batha Group

Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Department of Human Resources (SDHR) organised an open-day recruitment event in collaboration with Al Batha Group at the Palace of Culture in Sharjah. The initiative was coordinated in partnership with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation and the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council, widely known as Nafis—the federal programme designed to bolster the presence of Emirati nationals within the private sector.

Registered jobseekers were invited to attend face-to-face interviews with representatives from the subsidiaries of Al Batha Group, providing them with a comprehensive overview of available roles, their requirements, and potential career pathways — all in one location.

Sixty-five opportunities across key industries

The event focused on filling approximately 65 positions across a broad spectrum of sectors. Vacancies were distributed across finance and administration, logistics and supply chain, sales and marketing, engineering and construction, technical and technological roles, healthcare, and a range of supporting functions—all of which fall within the NAFIS programme's qualifying categories.

Open to all qualification levels

The roles on offer were deliberately structured to accommodate a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. Candidates holding secondary school certificates were eligible, as were those with diplomas or bachelor's degrees. The company actively sought specialists with professional and technical qualifications in fields such as accounting, finance, business management, human resources, information technology, and engineering—and, across its many disciplines, marketing, media, communications, and pharmacy.

Bridging the gap between talents and employers

Attendance was reserved for jobseekers registered on SDHR's electronic platform. This focused method allowed candidates and hiring managers to interact directly, helping both sides evaluate how well the candidates' skills, qualifications, and work experience match what the employers need — a more meaningful interaction than what a typical job fair offers.

A broader commitment to Emiratisation

The event reflects SDHR's ongoing commitment to advancing Emiratisation policy and strengthening the role of national talent in the private sector. By forging strategic partnerships with both local and national enterprises and by providing effective employment platforms, the Department aims to attract, develop, and empower Emirati jobseekers — in step with the UAE's wider objectives of cultivating a capable and competitive national workforce.
