Who We Find Jobs is

We Find Jobs is a career services company based in Dubai Media City. It started in the UAE more than 15 years ago with one simple idea. Job seekers here were sending CVs one at a time to job portals and hearing nothing back, while hundreds of companies were filling roles through referrals and agency databases that never saw those CVs. So the team built a way to deliver a candidate’s CV directly to the inboxes of employers and recruiters across the country.

That was the first CV distribution service in the UAE. Other companies copied the model later. Some copied the website wording too.

Today the company offers three core services: professional CV writing, CV distribution and LinkedIn profile writing. It also runs a free UAE jobs board with fresh vacancies posted daily. You can read the full background on the About page.

The company’s LinkedIn page has close to a million followers. It has received business awards from Corporate Vision, MEA Markets and The Business Concept. Reviews are public on Reviews. io, Yello.ae and HiDubai, so you can read what past clients have said before you spend a dirham.

Best CV writers in Dubai

The best CV writers in Dubai know who will read your CV. In this city, that person is usually one of three: an HR coordinator at a free zone company who screens 50 CVs before lunch, an agency consultant matching candidates to a client brief, or a hiring manager who opens your file on a phone between meetings. Each of them wants the same thing. They want to see in ten seconds whether you can do the job.

That is how We Find Jobs writers build a Dubai CV. The first third of page one carries your target job title, a short profile written for that role, and your strongest numbers. A sales manager’s CV leads with revenue figures. A logistics coordinator’s CV leads with shipment volumes and on-time rates. A hospitality CV names the property, the star rating and the guest score.

Each CV is written from scratch by a native English writer who knows the Dubai market.

What a Dubai CV needs that a UK or US CV doesn’t

A lot of CV advice online comes from London, New York or Sydney. Some of it is very good. Some of it will hurt you here.

In the UK and Australia, career advisers tell candidates to leave out nationality, date of birth and a photo. Dubai employers often expect them. They also look for details that don’t exist in Western CVs at all: your current visa status, whether you hold a UAE driving licence, your notice period, and the languages you speak. A recruiter filling an urgent role will skip a candidate who might need a new visa if another candidate is already on a transferable residence visa. Leave those details out, and you may lose the call to someone less qualified.

Our writers decide case by case what to include and where to place it. A photo on a CV for a client-facing hotel role makes sense. On a CV going to a global tech company’s Dubai office, it often doesn’t.

Why Dubai CVs fail the ATS

Large employers in Dubai, including airlines, banks, real estate developers and government-linked companies, use applicant tracking systems such as Oracle Taleo, SAP SuccessFactors and Workday. These systems read your CV as text. Tables, text boxes, icons and two-column designs often scramble when the system parses them, and your experience can land in the wrong field or disappear.

We Find Jobs CVs use clean layouts that parse correctly, standard section names and the keywords that appear in real job ads for your role. Every CV is ATS-scanned before delivery. If you want to read more about how we build CVs for this market, see our CV writing services in Dubai and the CV writing Dubai page.

Best CV writers in Abu Dhabi

The best CV writers in Abu Dhabi write for a different employer base than Dubai. The capital has a heavier mix of government departments, semi-government companies, energy firms, defence contractors and healthcare groups. Hiring there tends to be more formal. Panels review applications against set criteria, and HR teams check qualifications closely.

So an Abu Dhabi CV usually needs more detail in a few places. Degrees should list the university, the country and the year. Professional certifications need their full names and issuing bodies, such as PMP from PMI, NEBOSH IGC, or CIPS. Healthcare candidates must show their DOH licence status clearly, because a Department of Health licence is what Abu Dhabi facilities look for, not a DHA licence from Dubai.

Engineers applying to ADNOC group companies or their contractors need project names, contract values and the specific standards they worked to. “Worked on oil and gas projects” says nothing. Piping engineer on a 450 km gas pipeline, ASME B31.8, contract value AED 1.2 billion” gets read.

We Find Jobs writes CVs for Abu Dhabi job seekers every week, many of them by phone and email, without needing to visit our Dubai office. Details are on the CV writing Abu Dhabi page.

Best CV writers in the UAE

The best CV writers in the UAE understand that the country is seven job markets, each with its own pattern. Sharjah has a large manufacturing, education and SME base, and many Sharjah employers recruit through word of mouth and direct email. Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah have growing free zones, ports and tourism. Al Ain has universities and hospitals that recruit internationally.

A good UAE CV writer asks where you want to work before writing a word. A teacher applying to Sharjah private schools needs a different summary from one applying to Abu Dhabi’s ADEK-regulated schools. A warehouse supervisor applying to Jebel Ali free zone companies needs different keywords from one applying to a retailer in Sharjah.

We Find Jobs writes for every emirate. Our writers are native English speakers with UAE recruitment experience. For Sharjah job seekers, see CV writing in Sharjah. For an overview of the whole country, see our page on CV writing services in the UAE and the guide to professional CVs for the UAE job market.

Ideas we borrowed from the best CV writers abroad

Top UK, US and Australian CV services have spent decades testing what works. A few of their methods transfer well to the UAE, and we use them.

• Achievement statements built on the CAR method (challenge, action, result), so each bullet shows a result and not a duty.
• Keyword mirroring, where the CV uses the same words as the job ad. If the ad says “procurement”, the CV doesn’t say “purchasing”.
• The two-page rule for most professionals, with three pages kept for senior and technical candidates who need the space.
• A one-to-one consultation with the writer, which is standard in the UK and Australia and still rare in the UAE.

What we don’t borrow is the habit of writing a CV for a market the candidate isn’t in. A CV written to Australian norms can look thin to a Dubai recruiter who wants visa status and nationality on page one.

Best CV writing companies in Dubai

The best CV writing companies in Dubai have something a freelancer working alone usually doesn’t. They have a team, a quality check, a record you can verify and someone who answers the phone after you have paid.

Search for CV writing in Dubai, and you will find hundreds of options. Many are one-person operations on Instagram or Fiverr. Some are offshore writing shops with a UAE phone number. A few are genuine companies with offices, trade licences and years of reviews. Prices range between AED 50 and AED 2,000, and the cheapest options often reuse the same template and summary for every client in a profession.

We Find Jobs has an office in Al Sufouh 2, Dubai Media City. Your CV is written by a native English writer, scanned for ATS compatibility, and sent to you as a draft you can comment on. And you can call +971 55 429 4595 between 9am and 6pm to speak to a person.

CV writing packages are priced by career level, from graduates to senior executives.

CVs for senior managers and C-level executives

Executive CVs are a different job. A CFO or operations director isn’t judged on duties. Boards and executive search firms look for P&L size, headcount, turnaround results, board reporting and transformation programmes. They also check whether your story holds together across 20 years.

Our senior writers handle director, VP and C-suite CVs, and they write a matching executive bio and LinkedIn profile when needed. More detail is on the page for C-level CV writing in Dubai and the UAE.

Best CV writing companies in the UAE

The best CV writing companies in the UAE can be checked in four ways before you pay anything. Use this list on any company, including us.

Swipe the table sideways to see every column.

That last row matters more than people expect. A lot of CV companies in the UAE close down or change names, and buyers find out when they email for a revision and nobody replies. We Find Jobs has kept the same name, the same number and the same service line for over 15 years.

For more on what a strong UAE CV looks like, read how to write a perfect CV for UAE jobs, how we create CVs that win interviews, and our roundups of the best CV writing services in Dubai and the UAE and the top CV writing services.

CV writing by industry

A good CV for a nurse looks nothing like a good CV for a finance manager. Here is how our writers handle the sectors we see most often in the UAE.

Healthcare

The licence comes first. Dubai facilities look for DHA, Abu Dhabi facilities look for DOH, and the northern emirates fall under MOHAP. If you have passed the exam or hold a dataflow report, say so near the top. Then list your speciality, the departments you have covered, bed numbers and the patient ratios you worked with.

Engineering and construction

Project names, contract values and your exact role on each project. Recruiters for main contractors want to see the type of structure, the consultant you worked under and the codes you used. A Society of Engineers UAE registration or a chartered status from the UK goes in the header line.

Finance and accounting

UAE finance hiring changed when corporate tax and VAT arrived. Employers now look for hands-on tax registration and filing experience, IFRS reporting and ERP systems by name, such as SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion or Microsoft Dynamics. ACCA, CMA and CPA go right after your name.

Hospitality and retail

Name the brands and properties. Dubai hotel recruiters know every property in the city and will judge your CV by where you worked. Add guest satisfaction scores, covers per night, upselling results and the opening teams you were part of.

Sales and business development

Targets and how far you beat them. The region covered, deal sizes, client names (where you are allowed to share them), and the CRM you used. A sales CV with no numbers is the first one a sales director puts down.

Fresh graduates

With little work history, the CV leans on internships, university projects, part-time jobs and software skills. Graduates in the UAE often leave out their visa status, and that can cost them the call. If you are on a family visa and can work with a permit, put it on the CV.

Common CV mistakes we fix every week

After 15 years of reading UAE CVs, our writers see the same problems over and over.

• An objective statement that says “seeking a challenging position in a reputed organisation”. Every recruiter has read it thousands of times.
• Duties copied from a job description instead of results you delivered.
• A personal email address like partyboy88 or an old address that no longer works.
• No phone number with the +971 code, so overseas-looking CVs get skipped.
• Five pages for a mid-level role, or one thin page for a manager with 12 years of experience.
• A two-column design from a free website that the company’s ATS can’t read.
• Gaps with no explanation. One line saying “Relocation to UAE” or “Family care” is enough.

If you recognise three or more of these in your own CV, it is probably costing you interviews.

Best CV distribution service in Dubai

The best CV distribution service in Dubai puts your CV straight into the inboxes of the HR teams and recruiters who fill jobs, including the many jobs that are never advertised. That last part is the reason the service exists.

A large share of Dubai hiring happens without a public job ad. A company needs a quantity surveyor next month. The HR manager checks the CVs already in her inbox, calls two agencies and asks the team for referrals. If your CV arrived that week, you are in the pool. If you were waiting for an ad on a job portal, you never knew the job existed.

CV distribution reaches hiring managers and agencies across Dubai and the UAE.

How our distribution is different from a mass email

Some low-cost sellers buy an old email list and blast thousands of CVs in one go. Most land in spam. Some bounce. A few even go out from the seller’s address, so employers who reply never reach the candidate.

We Find Jobs works differently. Our database of UAE employers and recruitment agencies has been built and maintained over 15 years, and it includes contacts for unpublished jobs and direct access to headhunters. Employers contact you directly about roles. On the Diamond package and above, you receive a full report of where your CV was sent, so you know exactly which companies have it.

Read the full detail on our CV distribution service page and in the guide to CV writing and CV distribution in Dubai.

Best CV distribution service in the UAE

The best CV distribution service in the UAE covers every emirate and every free zone. Dubai’s business districts are only part of the market. Our Diamond package sends your CV to more than 200,000 employers and recruiters across the country, including JAFZA, DMCC, Dubai Silicon Oasis, KEZAD in Abu Dhabi, SAIF Zone and Hamriyah in Sharjah, and RAKEZ in Ras Al Khaimah.

Timing makes a difference. Distribution works best when your CV is already strong, so check your CV honestly first. If it has problems that would cost you interviews, fix those before anything goes out. Many clients take a bundle that includes CV writing, LinkedIn writing and distribution, which you can see in the VIP package below.

Job seekers who are still outside the country often ask whether to distribute now or after landing. Our honest answer is that employers respond faster to candidates who are already in the UAE or arriving on a fixed date. If you are abroad, tell us your arrival plan, and we will time the distribution around it. See also jobs and career support in the UAE.

Distribution packages cover Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the whole UAE, or the full GCC.

Best CV distribution companies in Dubai

The best CV distribution companies in Dubai are easy to tell apart from copies once you ask the right questions. Since We Find Jobs introduced CV distribution to the UAE, dozens of sites have started selling something with the same name. Here is what to ask any of them.

• Whose email address will employers see, and where do replies go?
• How many of the contacts are in the UAE, and how many are in Dubai specifically?
• When was the database last cleaned of dead addresses?
• Will I get a report showing where my CV went?
• Will someone review my CV before it goes out?

Ask We Find Jobs the same questions before you pay. Our contacts are UAE employers and recruitment agencies, the database has been kept up for 15 years, and reports come with the Diamond package and above. If your CV needs work before it goes out, we will tell you.

Some companies selling distribution in the UAE are actually software platforms based in Europe or services built for the US market, with a UAE page added on. That isn’t the same thing as a Dubai team with Dubai contacts.

Best CV distribution companies in the UAE

The best CV distribution companies in the UAE can also reach the wider Gulf, because many candidates are open to a move to Riyadh, Doha or Muscat if the package is right. We Find Jobs runs CV distribution and CV writing for every GCC country, with our Royal package sending your CV to more than 700,000 employers and recruiters across the region.

Each country has its own rules and habits. Saudi Arabia’s Saudisation quotas affect which roles are open to expatriates. Qatar’s market moves with major projects. Oman and Kuwait have their own localisation rules. Our country pages cover each one: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain.

For a single page that brings both services together, read best CV writing and CV distribution in Dubai and the UAE.

LinkedIn profile writing

Recruiters in the UAE use LinkedIn Recruiter every day. They search by job title, skill and location, then filter by who is open to work. If your headline says “Seeking new opportunities” and your About section is empty, you won’t show up.

Our writers rewrite your headline. About section and experience entries with the keywords UAE recruiters search for, and they match the profile to your new CV so the two tell the same story. LinkedIn writing is included in the VIP bundle. More on the LinkedIn profile service page.

LinkedIn profiles are rewritten to match your CV and the searches UAE recruiters run.

How We Find Jobs compares with the alternatives.

We won’t name other companies here. What we can do is compare the kinds of options job seekers in the UAE usually choose between.

Swipe the table sideways to see every column.

That last cell is deliberate. No honest CV company can promise you a job. Hiring decisions belong to employers. What we can promise is a CV that is written properly for this market and a distribution that reaches real employers. Clients regularly tell us they received calls within days of distribution, and many of the 650+ reviews describe exactly that. But the outcome depends on your experience, your field and the market that month.

How the service works, step by step

1. Send your current CV through the website or call +971 55 429 4595 and tell us the roles you want.
2. Pick a package for CV writing, distribution, LinkedIn, or a bundle of all three.
3. Your writer gathers details about your target roles, achievements and numbers.
4. You receive your new ATS-scanned CV and give feedback on the draft.
5. Once you approve the CV, distribution starts. Your CV goes to employers and agencies sorted by your industry and preferred emirate.
6. Employers reply to your own email or phone. On the Diamond package and above, you receive a report of where your CV went.

Delivery times for each package are listed on the services page. Senior and executive CVs need more detail from you, so plan a little extra time for those.

Packages and prices

CV distribution packages are priced by how far your CV travels. These are the current published packages. Prices can change, so check the services page for the latest.

Swipe the table sideways to see every column.

CV writing on its own is priced by career level at AED 150, 200 or 300, from graduate up to senior management. LinkedIn profile writing follows the same three levels.

Free UAE job board

Alongside paid services, We Find Jobs runs a free jobs board with new vacancies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the rest of the UAE posted every day. You don’t need to buy anything to use it. Many clients use the board for direct applications while their distribution runs in the background, which gives them two routes to the same employers.

If you are in the UAE on a visit visa, start early. A visit visa gives you a fixed window, and the first two weeks are when employers are most willing to call a new arrival.
