With the closing of 2022, Bayt.com, the #1 job site in the MENA region, marked a notable achievement, as employers contacted more than 1.3 million job seekers on Bayt.com while headhunting. This surge in talent acquisition and hiring activities is reflected also in the staggering number of CV searches conducted throughout the year, with a multitude of employers actively seeking to fill open positions, resulting in the surpassing of the 1.2 million mark in 2022 alone!
Among the most sought-after job fields on Bayt.com last year were Sales, Accounting, Administration, Human Resources, Marketing, Customer Service, Software Engineering, and many more.
While the past few years have seen significant challenges for job seekers in the MENA region and the world, as we move into 2023, there is a growing sense of optimism for job seekers. While the region is attracting increasing investment from both domestic and foreign sources, providing a boost to the job market, companies are also investing in new technologies, creating an abundance of jobs in the tech and innovation sectors.
As the MENA region becomes increasingly competitive, and employers actively seek to fill open positions from a vast pool of skilled professionals, it is imperative for job seekers to equip themselves with the necessary skills and knowledge to distinguish themselves from the competition. They can start by identifying the skills that are in demand in their desired job field and then focus on improving them. This can be achieved through online courses, workshops, or seeking mentorship from professionals in the same field. Additionally, job seekers must also make sure their CV and online profile reflect their relevant skills and accomplishments. Networking, both online and in-person, can also help them connect with potential employers and stay updated on job opportunities.
Ola Haddad, Head of Talent at Bayt.com, stated, “A vast majority of MENA employers are looking to expand their workforce through a human-led approach. While professionals need to focus on honing skills in demand such as communication and collaboration, companies need to provide access routes for those who lack skills, take steps to strengthen the capabilities of skilled employees, and commit to constant upskilling.”
With its commitment to innovation and technology, Bayt.com helps bridge the gap between professionals and employers by leveraging AI-powered search algorithms to match job seekers with the best job opportunities that match their skills, experience, and preferences. This results in a more efficient and effective talent search process for both job seekers and employers.
