"The large majority of finance leaders report difficulties when recruiting skilled finance professionals, particularly in the areas of audit, risk, financial planning and analysis and IT finance,"
said James Sayer, the director at Robert Half UAE,. "Companies looking to attract and retain the most sought-after candidates should review their remuneration structures."
