64% of MENA Employers to Hire This Year

Bayt.com, the Middle East’s largest job site, just revealed that over 37,000 jobs were announced on its platform during the second quarter of 2018 bringing the total jobs announced on the site during 2018 so far to nearly 90,000 jobs. This number shows the numerous available opportunities for job seekers in the MENA region, Ameinfo reported. In addition, Bayt.com reports that the availability of jobs seems to be increasing towards the summer season as nearly 15,000 job opportunities were made available on Bayt.com during June 2018 alone. Earlier this year, the Middle East Job Index reported that nearly two thirds (64%) of the region’s employers were planning to hire within the year. It explained that the platform sees these hiring intentions being implemented through thousands of online job announcements and tens of thousands of CV searches; through which employers directly find, contact, interview, and hire candidates from the Bayt.com database.
