Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, June 12, 2006: Bayt.com, the premier recruitment site in the Arab world, and Nesma Internet, the largest web service provider in Saudi Arabia, confirmed their partnership - a move that will facilitate more people in the Kingdom to access world-class online recruitment services.
The development will build on the core strengths of Bayt.com and Nesma Internet to empower employers and job-seekers in Saudi Arabia with some of the advanced proprietary recruitment tools
Describing the development as an important next step in expanding the relationship between both companies, Rabea Ataya, CEO of Bayt.com, said: "The partnership with Nesma Internet is a mutually beneficial one. We are pleased to build significantly on our special relationship that will further consolidate Bayt.com's position as the leading online recruitment site in the Middle East."
Nesma Internet's new "Careers" section (www.nesma.net.sa/nesma-ar.htm ) , powered by Bayt.com, will leverage the online recruitment company's comprehensive online recruitment services to enable detailed searches for jobs and candidates by multiple criteria, including location, industry, skills and experience.
The section will also help Nesma users in writing professional resums, and apply for jobs from the largest database of jobs in Saudi Arabia and across the region, while accessing career-related tools and information. This unique feature will be hosted, updated and managed by Bayt.com
Through the agreement, Bayt.com hopes to further penetrate the vast Saudi job market while Nesma will be able to attract an even larger audience of Internet users in the region through the recruitment site's increasing profile in the Arab world. The recruitment website currently boasts over 1 million professionals and 20,000 employers in its database, with 3600 recruiters and 185.641 professionals from the Kingdom, currently ranked as among the top three job markets in the Arab world.
Dr. Nasser Nabulsi, Business & Marketing Consultant for Nesma Internet, explained that Nesma and its customers stood to benefit immensely from the development.
"We are delighted to have teamed up with a well-respected name such as Bayt.com to bring interesting and value-added online content to our customers who number over 300,000," he said. "Bayt.com shares our strong customer focus and by leveraging their technology and experience, we can make our brands a more central part of our customers' lives."
With a database of more than one million users, mostly from around the GCC but also North America and Europe, the Bayt.com site conducts regular user and visitor polls on employment and employment-related issues. Founded in 2000, Dubai-based Bayt.com has offices in 10 Middle East cities - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Manama, Doha, Kuwait City and Amman - and also Islamabad.
Bayt.com is aiming to triple its current workforce of 150 by 2007 and recently launched its own career micro-site - www.bayt.com/'careers' - to recruit new team members.
