Bayt.com, the Middle East’s number one job site, reiterated its commitment to local industry and talented Lebanese professionals recently, by launching their Lebanon office in Beirut. The office will facilitate matching local employers to job seekers, and will build upon Bayt.com’s existing activities in the Lebanese job market. Moreover, the opening of the office will reinforce Bayt.com's confidence in the talents of Lebanese professionals, and is a genuine testament to the commitment of Bayt.com’s founders - many of whom hail from Lebanese descent - to the country.
“In Lebanon there has always been a well educated, proficient and experienced pool of talented nationals, who have often sought more lucrative career opportunities overseas at the expense of local companies and industry. By building on our established work here with the new office, we are demonstrating our passionate commitment to help bridge the gap between this local talent - and the rewarding work opportunities that now exist inside the country,” commented Dany Farha, COO Bayt.com.
Located in the heart of downtown Beirut, the new office will cater to the demands of the local Lebanese job market, and will assist employers in connecting with competent and qualified local job seekers across all sectors and career levels - from fresh graduates to senior managers; through the celebrated mix of Bayt.com’s established prowess in developing job search technology, and the company’s experience in career planning. Part of the office’s activities will additionally involve inspiring and driving confidence in the local Lebanese job market and stressing its importance within the region.
“Lebanon is an important market for Bayt.com and has proven itself time and again in terms of its potential output from a human resource perspective. There has been an increase in demand by both employers and job seekers in Lebanon for online recruitment services like Bayt.com, due to increased internet penetration and due to the logistical and cost-efficient benefits that the internet brings. We are looking forward to the inroads that we can now make in terms of recruitment here,” added Farha.
There are a number of new sectors where jobs are continually being created in Lebanon, including banking, media, tourism, hospitality, investment and real estate sectors, due to the historic diversity of Lebanon’s industry and the strategic position in the region that the country occupies.
“We are committed to driving recruitment in all markets we operate in, and we do this by providing services and solutions that are localised, relevant and specifically customised. So far, we have demonstrated this through our diverse and unique offerings throughout12 different markets around the Middle East and North Africa region. With this level of experience, we are excited about applying our services to further strengthening and developing the Lebanese job market,” concluded Farha.
