More Than 14,000 Jobs Were Announced on Bayt.com During the Third Quarter of 2020

The Middle East's #1 job site, Bayt.com, just reported that more than 14,000 new jobs were made available on the site between July and September 2020, showcasing signs of recovery from initial COVID-19 impact and an upward trend in online job availability across the MENA region. In fact, Bayt.com recorded a 67% increase in jobs in comparison to the second quarter of 2020.

Over the last few months, we aimed to minimize the economic and financial burden that is already surfacing due to COVID-19 and to ensure that our job seekers are presented with diverse and new career options. At the same time, we presented employers with tools to allow them to hire remote talent and to interview candidates virtually.”
