The development will build on the core strengths of Bayt.com and Nesma Internet to empower employers and job-seekers in Saudi Arabia with some of the advanced proprietary recruitment tools.
Describing the development as an important next step in expanding the relationship between both companies, Rabea Ataya, CEO of Bayt.com, said: “The partnership with Nesma Internet is a mutually beneficial one. We are pleased to build significantly on our special relationship that will further consolidate Bayt.com’s position as the leading online recruitment site in the Middle East.”
Nesma Internet’s new "Careers” section (https://www.nesma.net.sa/nesma-ar.htm) powered by Bayt.com, will leverage the online recruitment company’s comprehensive online recruitment services to enable detailed searches for jobs and candidates by multiple criteria, including location, industry, skills and experience.
