Alnahdi Medical Company (NMC), a leading pharmacy chain, recently launched a special campaign in Jeddah providing more than 500 new jobs in three key specializations.

Through this campaign, NMC is introducing three job categories including 50 dermatology and beauty specialists, 250 pharmacist assistants, and 200 cashiers.

NMC organised an orientation day for the applicants to comprise a detailed presentation and overview on the company, its mission, and objectives.

The event witnessed a strong turnout by various community sectors. On location, applicants were received by members of the Human Resources team and were ushered to a special waiting area which was set up to explain to the applicants the company’s various activities.  Then they proceeded to another room which was especially dedicated for interviews.

“Alnahdi Pharmacies, which are strategically dispersed across the Kingdom, are only five minutes within reach to 60 per cent of the Kingdom’s inhabitants.  We also have a strategic plan to expand our reach to become 90 per cent by 2016,” said Hosam Al Qurashi, senior director Marketing & External Affairs at Alnahdi Medical Company.

“And in order to achieve this objective, we had to recruit and train qualified and capable young talent able to support our expansion plans which are in response to the wise directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz which called for the nationalization of the workforce and supporting the Saudi youth.”

Al Qurashi added, “Our goal is to become the employer of choice for the local workforce in the Kingdom.”

“Moreover we have an ambitious human resources plan to nationalize jobs and attract the best candidates and are providing on the job training opportunities through NMC virtual academy which plays a pivotal role in building and reinforcing skills and expertise to our current and future employees.  Doing so, we believe this will make our employees for innovative and caring to our customers across the Kingdom.” – TradeArabia News Service
