Welcoming over 70,000 daily visitors to its comprehensive virtual platform, Bayt.com offers a highly intuitive, user-friendly interface for job-search and the submission of applications.

Commenting on the launch of the free job postings offer, Lama Ataya, Head of Marketing, Bayt.com said: “By freely opening up our pioneering online recruitment platform to all MENA employers for a day, the entire region can join Bayt.com in celebrating a new level of professional opportunity. For one day, we will remove all cost-related, logistical and informational barriers and ensure that every single job in the region can be posted quickly, easily and absolutely free on www.bayt.com – infusing the job market with fresh opportunities and new talent.”

Current statistics suggest that the region’s job seekers are eager for the sophisticated recruitment interface that Bayt.com provides.

Bayt.com’s comprehensive online job site, with postings from across the region, smart-search options, job alerts, and an array of affordable professional career services, offers an ideal solution for those seeking a new job or even a new career.

The free job postings offer will give employers visibility with all job seekers registered with Bayt.com as well as with the leading online traffic the Middle East’s #1 jobsite generates on a daily basis, traffic that is considerably greater than any other jobsite in the region. The free jobs may be posted online any time between November 10th and November 22nd and will be activated to go live on November 22nd collectively and remain live for a month after that.

“With this unique gesture, we are inviting regional job seekers and employers to experience the myriad benefits of Bayt.com’s superior online recruitment tools and to take their job search or recruitment efforts to the next level while together unharnessing the tremendous promise and opportunity in MENA job markets today,” concluded Lama Ataya, Head of Marketing, Bayt.com.
