Silkor in recruitment drive following increase in demand for its services as UAE clamps down on unlicensed facilities

Silkor, the region’s largest laser medical chain has confirmed participation at the Najah  2011 careers, training and higher education exhibition, which attracts over 120 exhibitors and more than 18,000 visitors annually. The leading medico-aesthetic chain, founded in Beirut in 1997, expects to recruit an estimated 75 new staff members in the next 12 month period.

Medico-aesthetic laser technologies have become increasingly popular across the region in recent years, with increased demand to treat different skin conditions in an ever increasing array of services; including permanent hair removal, skin rejuvenation, slimming, and skin resurfacing procedures to treat wrinkles, stretch-marks, acne, scarring, and pigmentation problems. Recently however, various UAE authorities have; for health and safety reasons; been enforcing legislation that prevents unlicensed entities from performing laser treatments. This has led to an influx in customers seeking laser treatments at licensed, legitimate, establishments such as Silkor.

The region’s largest laser medical chain, Silkor is staffed by fully-trained medical professionals, who use only modern, well-maintained equipment. This increase in the number of customers seeking laser therapies from licensed medical facilities, combined with Silkor’s rapid expansion into new markets, including KSA, Jordan, Kuwait and Oman, has led to an extensive recruitment drive by the chain, which includes Silkor’s first-time participation at Najah 2011.

Lara Tarakjian, executive director and board member of Silkor Holding, said: “I believe that the future of every business rests upon its ability to recruit, train and retain top talent, and this is currently more relevant than ever at Silkor. In addition to the significant increase demand for our services, in part due to newly imposed restrictions on unlicensed facilities, Silkor is also under-going extensive expansion throughout the region into new markets in the upcoming months.”

An all-female working environment, Silkor boasts a second-to-none training program for successful candidates to become part of its operational and administrative team.

Michelle Chidiac, Human Resources Director, said “Silkor’s participation at the Najah exhibition aims to seek out motivated candidates that take pride in their work, to join the Silkor family at this exciting time of growth. The busy minds in Human Resources and Expansion Department are seeking to recruit local and expat women, thus giving them the chance to exercise their potential in the professional Silkor sector, be it the technical or the administrative divisions”. 

Amal Rashkidii, Corporate Medical Director, Silkor continued, “The world of laser technology is innovative and very fast-paced, and at Silkor we are proud to have introduced some of the latest techniques, equipments and procedures to the region, delivering drastic, long-lasting results. These kinds of services take place along-side some very powerful technology, which can be dangerous in unskilled hands. For this reason, Silkor has always been looking to recruit only the most qualified candidates, who will benefit from our comprehensive medico-aesthetic training programme. We are specifically looking to recruit diligent graduates with a background in dermatology, plastic surgeons and nursing and experienced healthcare administrators as branch managers”.
