How Bayt.com facilitated hiring with Expo 2020 Dubai
In 2014, the Bureau Expo 2020 Dubai L.L.C invited bids from all over the world to create an online solution serving as a recruitment portal for Expo 2020 Dubai.
Bayt.com understood the requirements well and came up with a quick, easy and customized solution to streamline the recruitment process for them. After submitting the proposal in 2014, the team at Expo 2020 Dubai and Bayt.com had many discussions to understand the technical capabilities of the products and how it would be able to carry out the project. In 2015, Bayt.com won the bid and was honoured with the opportunity of creating Expo 2020 Dubai’s online recruitment portal.
Bayt.com’s value proposition of creating cost effective, quick and easy solutions was very instrumental in winning the bid of such a prestigious exhibition.
The Ask
Expo Dubai 2020 required a comprehensive recruitment platform for their hiring needs. The portal had to be branded and customized under the Expo 2020 Dubai event and support the recruitment for full time positions, temporary jobs, and volunteers.
Bayt.com’s Solution
Bayt.com created a user-friendly and feature-rich portal for Expo 2020 Dubai powered by two products - Talentera and Afterhire.
Talentera is an end-to-end online recruitment platform that helps organizations source, track, assess and hire relevant talent easily and efficiently. With features like consolidated candidate sources, multilingual career pages, applicant tracking system, data insights, local support and employer branding, Talentera is more than a software tool. It’s a complete HR platform designed to help organizations achieve their hiring goals.
With feature-rich career pages and job boards for candidates to find available jobs easily, Expo 2020 Dubai received close to six hundred thousand job applications. The process of the candidates applying for the job up until they are hired was taken care of by Talentera.
Once the candidate was hired, all the onboarding needs were taken care of by Afterhire.
It is a configurable employee onboarding application that helps organizations get higher employee productivity in quicker time, save cost, time and effort on employee onboarding and reduces employee churn. The platform allows you to create your customized onboarding workflow, invite new hires to a branded employee portal and keep them engaged with various onboarding tasks like getting digital approvals and going through learning resources.
Both the products Talentera and Afterhire worked together like magic to create a robust, customisable and feature rich recruitment platform for Expo 2020 Dubai. The recruitment team was able to move new hires from Talentera to Afterhire with just a click and the single sign on feature helped the new hires to use their same credentials for both the products.
Though the project had started back in 2015, and the pandemic delayed it quite a bit, the online portal helped overcome the obstacles and accelerated the processes for remote teams.
The Results
The seamless integration of Talentera and Afterhire resulted in the creation of a remarkably efficient recruitment portal for Expo 2020 Dubai that took care of their end-to-end hiring tasks.
