We planned, we brainstormed, we strategized, we created blueprints, then we created even better blueprints and over the course of the last few months some of the industry’s leading product development and innovation experts revamped the way job search is conducted in the Middle East and North Africa. This culminated in the UAE relaunch of Bayt.com on Tuesday at a highly engaging entertaining event worthy of the grand ambitions bayt.com has for jobseekers and employers across the region.
So what’s new? For one, it looks better. The whole site is crisper, cleaner and easier to maneuver and the fresh new logo is indicative of the fact that bayt.com continues to be the region’s primary home for everything that leads to a better job, and better life. Whether you are looking to secure a job or hire a professional in the region, searching for data on salaries, market trends or other regional economic metrics, in need of career or job search guidance and advice, bayt.com remains the region’s number one solution.
But that’s not all! A number of further innovations were unveiled at the launch event and introduced in terms of their direct relevance to Bayt.com’s core values of Leadership, Empowerment, Efficiency, Flexibility and Communication.
Leadership: Bayt.com has always stood for innovation and thought leadership as well as community involvement in the region and Bayt.com’s CEO Rabea Ataya opened the speeches announcing Bayt.com will be actively rewarding hiring in the region with a new Bayt.com Employer Loyalty Programme designed to actively incentivize recruitment activity. For a platform that has always cherished its positioning as a regional employment enabler, rewarding active recruitment is very in line with the highly responsible community-centric activities the brand has become known for.
Empowerment: Professionals increasingly want to stand out and be sought and recognized for their expertise. Through the Bayt.com People Channel and the newly introduced Bayt.com Specialties, professionals can leverage their public profiles on bayt.com to engage directly with other members in the professional community who share their specialties to learn from each other.
By engaging in professional conversations, specialists earn credit points and raise the ranking of their specialties. Higher ranked professionals get a better chance to be seen by employers and other visitors of Bayt.com. Moroever, through Bayt.com’s new Insights tool, professionals can gain free and immediate details on their job application status, visibility to employers, demand and supply for one’s unique skillset and an overview of general market conditions.
Efficiency: Bayt.com has once again raised the standard for online recruitment by building dynamic core functionalities that take the time and hassle and guesswork out of building an online CV. Bayt.com’s new CV builder converts standard CVs automatically in seconds and is still perfectly searchable. Moreover, it comes with a CV diagnostic tool via a state-of-the-art dashboard that allows for CV analysis and further fine-tuning wherever necessary.
Flexibility and Communication: Bayt.com announced multiple innovations and enhancements that very directly solved the need of regional professionals today to hear about career opportunities quickly and easily and be able to gain a firm foothold at the top of the applicant pool. Through Bayt.com’s newly launched Mobile Application professionals can connect anytime and get notified when their application has been viewed, when a job matches their profile and at other important junctions.
In addition, the highly informative and customized new Bayt.com Monthly Digest contains a full analysis of a professional’s job search along with a window of relevant jobs. Enhanced Jobseeker/Employer communication has been enabled through the new mailbox feature as well as the chat functionality. Moreover, a simple Recommendations flow also now means that professionals on bayt.com can easily connect with friends and get recommendations.
Finally, in further testimony to Bayt.com’s long-standing commitment to the region, the site’s Arabic language interface has been fully retouched. We are delighted to be enabling employment in the region by bringing the region’s top jobs and top professional candidates that much closer! No one ever said finding a dream job or a perfect candidate was a breeze.
But with the new Bayt.com the whole process just became that much more easy, attractive and intelligent! I would even go as far as to say that finding that ideal job or candidate in the region with Bayt.com''s empowering new platform has never been more elegant, intuitive or . . . exciting!
