Dubai, UAE. October 19th 2003 – Bayt.com, (www.bayt.com) the leading online recruitment site for the Middle East, announced on the first day of GITEX 2003 they are launching their ASP recruitment services.
Leveraging its proprietary technology and recruitment expertise, Bayt now offers organisations the ability to fully integrate Bayt’s superior recruiting tools seamlessly with their existing website, allowing them to “own” their own customised recruitment solution online. This allows employers to gain a competitive advantage in their recruiting efforts and streamline their recruiting process.
The Bayt ASP recruitment service defined
Bayt’s ASP (Application Service Provider) recruiting solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of public, private and educational organisations with the objective of facilitating the matching of talent with opportunity. Organisations leverage Bayt’s proven recruitment technology on the backend, while maintaining their branding intact on the front end. Additionally, they benefit from not having to invest in costly development and capital expenditures. Bayt builds and implements the recruiting site, providing a fully hosted solution that requires no internal staff to develop, manage, and maintain on behalf of the client. Best of all, end users benefit from a first-in-class online career channel.
Why Bayt ASP recruitment?
The Bayt Employer ASP recruiting solution offers companies a superior-quality, online recruitment application where job seekers can create a professional CV, search and apply to jobs posted by the company directly online, and set up Saved Searches to notify them when jobs in their field of interest become available. Additionally, since job seekers’ CVs are stored on the company’s career site, hiring managers can easily search for qualified candidates from its database of job seekers without having to wait for those candidates to apply. With the job seeker database, positions can be filled without being posted. For corporate organisations, this means hiring managers save time and resources because they manage their recruiting needs more effectively.
As Bayt launches this new service, there are two companies who have already implemented the Bayt ASP solution. ADNOC-Distribution (UAE) at http://recruit.adnoc-dist.co.ae and The National Commercial Bank (KSA) http://career.alahli.com are working examples in the region.
Bayt is simultaneously launching their Bayt University ASP solution which offers university institutions a superior quality online career services application developed to help meet students’ specific job search needs. Students create a professional online CV, search and apply to jobs directly online, and manage their job search process online. Similarly, employers can search the database of university students CVs and post their job vacancies free of charge on the site for students to apply to, as well as manage their entire recruitment process online. The first example of the Bayt University ASP in the UAE is for Zayed University (UAE) http://growcareers.co.ac.ae.
This new e-recruitment solution will be showcased to interested organisations at GITEX 2003 on Monday 20th October at 13:00 hrs in Oracle Seminar room # 3. Title of seminar: “Online Recruitment - Creating a Corporate Career Channel Through Bayt's Unique ASP Solution.”
Akram Assaf, Chief Technology Officer at Bayt stated, “In the Middle East, the trend toward to having a recruitment section as part of the corporate website is growing, with prominent institutions in the public and private sectors taking the lead. By shifting their recruiting online, these companies reduce paper processes and streamline their hiring process to be more efficient. The Company’s move to offer a recruiting ASP solution further strengthens our commitment to provide employers and university institutions throughout the region with customised recruiting solutions”.
