How to Make the Most of Post-Eid Hiring Waves on Bayt.com

After Eid, hiring moves fast—be ready for it

Every year, right after Eid, companies across the MENA region resume recruitment with renewed focus. Teams are back from break, hiring freezes are lifted, and new vacancies open up. If you're serious about landing a job this season, the days right after Eid are your golden window.

Why employers act fast after Eid

Post-Eid marks a sense of urgency. Deadlines are near. Budgets are reactivated. Projects that paused before the holiday are moving forward. Employers want candidates who are ready to start immediately—and if you’re one of the first to apply, you’re more likely to get noticed.

Step 1: log in daily and activate job alerts

Bayt.com sees a spike in new job postings after Eid. Make sure you're logged in and checking regularly. Set up job alerts with your preferred keywords, location, and industry. This helps you apply quickly before roles get saturated.

Step 2: apply early, apply often

Don't apply once and wait. Aim for volume and relevance. Apply to multiple roles that fit your experience and career goals. The more targeted applications you send, the higher your chances of landing interviews.

Step 3: follow up after applying

If a company has viewed your CV or your application status says “shortlisted,” don’t hesitate to follow up with a professional message. Express your enthusiasm and availability. This shows initiative and may move you up the list.

Step 4: update your CV and profile to stand out

Before applying, make sure your CV and Bayt.com profile are updated. Recruiters often filter candidates by most recently updated profiles—so keep yours fresh and filled with keywords.

Step 5: use Premium tools to get ahead

Bayt.com’s Premium tools let you see who viewed your profile, place your CV at the top of employer searches, and access CV evaluation services. If you want to move faster than others, it’s worth investing in features that give you an edge.

Final thoughts

Post-Eid hiring is a real window of opportunity—but only for job seekers who are ready. Show up early, stay active, and make your profile impossible to ignore.
