Bayt.com powers the on-line recruitment forum at Arab Health 2003

The new recruitment forum debuts at Arab Health 2003 January 26 - 29 at the Dubai World Trade Center and will be accessible year-round via the Arab Health web site www.bayt.com/partners/arabhealth/arabhealth.

By using the Internet to recruit, healthcare employers can fill their vacancies faster, have wider choice of top caliber regional and global talent and significantly save time, effort and money on recruiting. The Regional Market Tracking Study 2002 and Forester Research 2001 findings conclude that online recruitment is 90% less expensive and 75% faster when compared with traditional recruitment methods.

"Job seekers have a tough task finding the right regional healthcare opportunities. At the same time, employers face a long, difficult, and expensive exercise sourcing skilled individuals," states John Hassett, Exhibition Director, Healthcare Division, IIR. He adds, "Our aim in partnering with Bayt.com, the region's leader in online recruiting, is to provide a faster, easier and more cost effective way to match talented healthcare professionals with the largest database of regional health service job opportunities."

Bayt.com is the premier online recruitment site in the Middle East with a database of 370,000 CV's and 7,700 employers, the largest in the region. Medical healthcare professionals on Bayt span all career levels, 116 nationalities and cover all skill sets from medical to professional to administrative. Moreover, the site continues to rank among the top three most visited sites in the region, as measured by Accenture/ITP with over 20 million page views monthly and 15,000 daily visits from job seekers, thus providing employer vacancies maximum exposure.

Bayt's e-cruitment consultants and partners will be present at the Arab Health expo to personally meet with visitors, provide live demonstrations of the site, and answer questions. Visitors with immediate hiring needs can also benefit from on the spot applicant searching on the Bayt database.
