After just one year online, Bayt.com has experienced remarkable growth, created an impressive partnership network and most importantly, worked intimately with employers to understand and address their recruitment needs. The result - the single largest database of CV's and a new, optimized set of online recruitment tools tailored to regional employers, to be released at this year's Gitex.
Bayt.com Year in Review:
In the last12 months, Bayt.com has swiftly implemented an incisive partnership strategy to maximize its reach and make Bayt.com the premiere online recruitment resource in the region. The success of this strategy is evidenced by the fact that Bayt.com is already the exclusive provider of job information to many of the Middle East's top websites - most notably high-profile portals Arabia.com and Maktoob.com. While Arabia and Maktoob together provide the widest coverage of the global Arab audience online, Bayt has also built an impressive network of vocational and regional partner sites to gain access to more unique audiences.
Most recently, Bayt has forged alliances with ITP, the region's leading resource for technology information and the prominent Gulf Marketing Review to provide customized job information tailored to their respective professional readers. Bayt has also extended its reach to the global Iranian population through a recent alliance with Salamiran.com, a leading online community for Iranians worldwide.
With these online partnerships in place and more industry-focused alliances emerging in the coming months, the Bayt team has been busy building a network of partners in other areas. True to their commitment to provide "Lifestyle Engineering" services to their users, Bayt has been steadily adding resources that compliment their career tools. The latest of these alliances includes Bayt's partnership with Leading Concepts and SMART Management Business Center, the region's premier training and development facilities, to provide resources for executive education to professionals in the Middle East. After creating a considerable buzz in the region as a newly launched company at Gitex last November, Bayt returns to the event this year with a revamped, superior set of recruitment tools for employers and an impressive track record.
Within its first month, Bayt.com was already listed in the ITP Web Index* as one of the top ten websites in the Middle East in terms of traffic and had registered over600 regional companies to use its service by January. Since then, Bayt has demonstrated a steady increase in both traffic and registered users. By last May, Bayt.com had already shot up to a ranking of4th place on the Web Index, surpassing all of its competitors and establishing Bayt.com as the number one destination for online recruitment in the region, despite being a relative newcomer to the e-recruiting space in the Middle East.
Today, more than4,200 leading employers in the region have access to Bayt's global talent pool of more than120,000 professionals, which encompasses all career levels from entry level to senior management and spans over80 industries.
Bayt's launch campaign with the memorable "Agent" patrolling the halls of Gitex last year with the full team clad in "Bayt Blue" was the first testament to the teams ingenuity and innovative business thinking, traits they have demonstrated consistently over the past year. Judging by their performance in the last12 months, this year's presence at Gitex is guaranteed to be very energetic, professional and creative. In a word: very`Bayt'.
