Naukri.com expands horizons to the Middle East

The Middle East recruitment market is growing at a fast pace and with its entry into this region Naukri.com will be able to not merely provide manpower from India but also provide them with local talent. This entry will enable Naukri.com to provide end to end solutions."

Naukri.com's foray into the Middle East is an attempt to provide the recruiters in this region with the right candidates for the vacancies at their end. At the same time the effort will also be to provide relevant job opportunities to candidates in that region.

Naukri Gulf will target jobs in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and other countries of the region.

Added Mr. Hitesh Oberoi, COO, Naukri.com, "We have great products, unparalleled service and competitive pricing. These three have been the cornerstone of Naukri.com's success in India. We hope to replicate this in the Middle East as well. Given the knowledge of the local recruitment space, we hope to effectively add a different dimension to the online recruitment market in the Middle East", he further elaborated.
