The amount of people who land in the UAE on a two-month visit visa hoping to find a job before it expires is staggering. It is a very specific kind of pressure. UAE WhatsApp groups are full of these guys. You see them asking for walk-in interview locations in Business Bay or trying to split a partition room in Sharjah to stretch their savings. But the groups are not just for beginners. People who have been here a decade use them to complain about freelance visa costs or find a decent mechanic in Musaffah who will not overcharge for a Nissan Sunny repair. The reality of UAE is that official channels are slow and expensive, so people bypass them using group chats. You get genuine leads here. A restaurant manager in Deira looking for a chef urgently. A PRO offering typing services. But the scams are aggressive. Anyone asking for an interview processing fee via an Al Ansari exchange transfer is robbing you. Real companies in the UAE pay for their own recruitment.
