Before you start interviewing candidates, take a call on this. Otherwise, you might just end up wasting your and candidates’ time. Worse still, you might bring on board a person who’s not suited for the job. Experience doesn’t always amount to talent. A candidate’s experience is not a measure of his talent. As a matter of fact, there are many experienced professionals in Dubai who are just mediocre. Precisely for this reason, along with an inspiring track record, you must value traits which showcase the candidate’s ability to be proactive, work in a team, and stay self-motivated.

Don’t think that a candidate would add great value to your team just because he has done his masters from a premier college and worked with some impressive names. What you must focus most on is his achievements. That—and not other things—will give you a fair idea about what that employee will bring to the table.
