Bayt.com recently hosted the Middle East’s first online job fair, which attracted more than 30,000 job-seekers against 15 employers in virtual “booths” and 11 sponsors.
The job fair ran for five days in June. Besides providing job-vacancy listings, Bayt provided online, real-time video interviews between job-seekers and employers.
Despite the lack of employers – and the fact that less than 2 percent of the attending job-seekers found jobs, Bayt considered the event a success, and hopes to attract more employers for next year’s event.
