These are exciting times for Jobseekers throughout the Arab world. Two of the Middle East's leading Internet sites, arabia.com and Bayt.com, have joined forces. Together, these sites will provide job seekers with the most effective and comprehensive tools to find and apply to jobs in the region. The scale and implications of this alliance are unprecedented in the local Internet arena and are a testament to the spirit of innovative business thinking and entrepreneurship that is characteristic of both companies.
