Bayt.com, the Middle East’s number one career site, has been selected by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as one of its 28 Global Growth Companies.

The recognition was announced at the World Economic Forum special meeting on Unlocking Resources for Regional Development, held recently in Istanbul, Turkey.

Recognition is based on exceeding industry standards in revenue growth, promoting innovative business practices, and leadership in corporate citizenship.

Rabea Ataya, co-founding CEO, Bayt.com said: “We’re thrilled to receive this prestigious recognition from such a well-respected global authority. At Bayt.com, we have invested a significant period of time to define the values that determine our success as an organization, and the behaviours that map to these values.”

“Global Growth Companies are chosen based on demonstrating key features, one of which is innovation, a key value at Bayt.com. Since Bayt.com was founded, we have striven to empower people with the tools and technologies to lead their lifestyle of choice.

“The Bayt.com formula is clear: look at where people need the most help in their lives (in the Middle East, the answer is obvious: finding jobs), build a solution that capitalizes on technology for scale and efficiency, and then obsess about continually improving it,” Ataya noted.

“Add all three ingredients and presto, the result is Bayt.com. Today, we are proud to be the leading career site in the Middle East. This recognition by the World Economic Forum is another great milestone in our path to achieve our vision of being a Middle Eastern institution that is a globally recognized, respected and admired indispensable extension of people's lives.”

Bayt.com is a top career site in the Middle East and has more than 14 years of experience in supporting the Middle Eastern business community, with the largest and most relevant community of professionals registered on the site representing the entire spectrum of career levels, demographics, job roles and industries. – TradeArabia News Service
