Prakash Parab, director, HR solutions, said: “Exhibitors from various industries from across the globe are currently sourcing qualified support staff for their forthcoming events. We have seen a huge demand for temporary staff since the beginning of August.

“UAE has seen a steady surge in the number of events over the years and this has opened up new avenues for temporary staffing solutions.
