Continuing the phenomenal success of Bayt.com’s regional Virtual Job Fairs (VJF), Bayt.com, the region’s number one job site, announced today that it will be hosting its UAE job fair between April24 and April28. The hassle-free online job forum aims to boost the country’s job market and get job seekers and employers to interact directly without the need of intermediation.
“Today, employers and job seekers alike realise the myriad of advantages that using the Internet for recruitment brings. The previous Bayt.com job fairs in the region were huge successes and we except this one to be hugely popular, active and successful as well,” commented Amer Zureikat, VP Sales at Bayt.com
The Bayt.com VJF UAE, with media partner Media Quest, will provide candidates with the easy and unique option to ‘attend’ the job fair from any Internet-accessible computer and submit their resumes to participating companies of interest at all times; while enabling local, regional and international employers to establish an active talent-seeking presence, without physically needing to be in any given location.
“Mediaquest Corp. is proud to partner with VJF UAE. VJF effectively connects qualified job seekers with the best-fit career opportunities around the Middle East region. This is a great service for the many highly-qualified yet unemployed professionals in the region who are seeking that one ideal opportunity to showcase and develop their talents,” Alexandre Hawari, co-CEO of Mediaquest Corp.
Over the past two years, Bayt.com has hosted more than15 successful online job fairs, which have welcomed job seekers and professionals from across the Middle East regionand beyond. For the online fair, Bayt.com constructs animated3D “virtual booths” on the website for the different participating companies. The virtual booths, like physical job fairs, are branded with the exhibitor’s name and logo and provide visitors access to a range of information about that particular company.
“Hosting the Bayt.com VJF UAE2011 demonstrates our commitment to boosting the country’s labor market and contributing to the UAE’s growth and development. Throughout the past two years, Bayt.com’s VJFs around the Middle East region have proven to be a very popular and efficient way to connect the most qualified job seekers with the best opportunities and we look forward to seeing the positive outcomes that will emerge from this experience,” added Zureikat.
The innovative online virtual job fair will also feature a CV drop option for job seekers to directly submit their CV to the booths of their choice and directly apply for advertised jobs; and the opportunity for employers and job seekers to interact in real time via online or video chat. A series of links will enable job seekers to connect to a directory of current vacancies in a particular company, avoiding the hassle of having to root through various job postings. Jobseekeers will enjoy all the benefits and advantages of attending a bricks and mortar job fair with none of the costs entailed as there is no need to travel or commute or pay entry ticket fees or disseminate paper CVs or cards.
