Asiacell becomes the first Iraqi company to implement a full-fledged enterprise e-recruitment solution

Asiacell, the largest private Iraqi company and the first and only mobile telecommunications company to provide coverage for all of Iraq, is now the first company in Iraq to successfully implement a state-of-the-art e-recruitment solution with the aim of attracting, engaging and hiring exceptional telecom professionals.

Delivered by Hiring Solutions, the intelligent e-recruitment software is on par with the best solutions used by Fortune 500 companies and will enable Asiacell to automate the entire recruitment process from job requisition to on-boarding. The revolutionary software also has the added benefit of features built specifically for the Middle East market, such as Arabic interface and Milestone Trackers for visas and medicals.

Explaining the need for a fundamental shift in the way they recruited people, Mr. Akam Falah Jamil, HR-Expatriate Services Section Head at Asiacell, said:
"Recruiting exceptional talent is a challenge globally. The challenge is even bigger when you are trying to hire quality people in Iraq, especially expatriates. We have to compete with telecom companies worldwide for the same set of top industry professionals and we have to do it right to be successful."


He went on to add: "We wanted a solution that helps us recruit the best local and global talent and simultaneously improves our cost-per-hire and time-to-hire. We wanted to be proactive in our approach to recruitment, build our own private database that could be shared across multiple business units, and we wanted the solution to be up and running in a matter of weeks, all of which Hiring Solutions delivered on."

In turn, Mr. James Padkin, Director of Client Services at Hiring Solutions, said: "A high-end software is just a small part of a successful e-recruitment solution. This is why we have provided Asiacell with a solution that not only automates and streamlines its hiring processes, but also provides smart sourcing strategies, builds a powerful employer brand, enhances the candidate experience and ensures that recruiters focus on quality candidates rather than waste their time on administrative tasks and reading thousands of CVs."

Hiring Solutions was chosen in light of its consistent track-record for delivering quality e-recruitment solutions in the Middle East and Africa region. Its world-class Sniperhire software platform is used by over 200 businesses in 42 countries to lower costs and reduce time while hiring exceptional talent.
