Dr Aisha Bint Butti Bin Bishr, Director General of Dubai Smart Office, said the platform aims to enable Dubai residents avail job opportunities that will allow them to build their careers, while assisting the government in attracting the best expertise.
"It isn't only about finding a job, but changing the concept of employment in Dubai into finding a future career path," she said.
The online platform has already posted 355 vacancies and over 600 job openings from 30 government entities.
The portal, which will later post vacancies of the private sector, enables users to extract their LinkedIn profiles, creating their own universal portfolio they can use to apply for more than one vacancy.
In return, the smart system will provide employers of a ranking of the top eligible profiles that match job requirements. Employers will be able to conduct video interviews with candidates.

While employers had to manually look through hundreds of CVs to select the right candidate, now recruitment happens with a click of a button," said Bin Bishr.
