The Middle East’s largest jobsite, Bayt.com, announced that it ended the year 2018 with more than 185,000 jobs announced on the site.
As reported by the jobsite, these numbers are just a portion of the hiring done by employers in the Middle East in 2018, as they exclude vacancies that were filled using the CV Search technology; through which companies browse the Bayt.com database and reach out to job seekers directly to interview and hire them. The Bayt.com database currently has 34,800,000 CVs, which are viewed by over 40,000 employers across the Middle East and North Africa and internationally.
“In 2018, we witnessed a clear growth in job availability from one month to the next, signaling companies’ success and satisfaction with using Bayt.com to hire top talent,” said Omar Tahboub, General Manager, Bayt.com. “We’ve certainly multiplied our efforts to ensure we are making more jobs, and more diverse opportunities, available on our site. We aim to empower the very active job seekers who register on Bayt.com and visit our site regularly for their career building endeavors. As we kick start 2019, we should be well-prepared for an even larger volume of jobs and job search activities.”
Hiring activity was not the only increase during 2018 on Bayt.com. More than 5,300,000 new job seekers joined Bayt.com during 2018. New and returning job seekers were very active in searching for new career options.
