Unified job portal for GCC to ease process of hiring in the region

Muscat: A unified employment portal for citizens of the Gulf countries will be launched that will ease the process of hiring in the region.

Jassem Mohamed Al Budaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), said, “Through the new recruitment portal, we seek to attract Gulf talent and all citizens of the GCC can register on it.” He said that job vacancies will be available for the GCC citizens and the new recruitment portal has been developed to facilitate the applicant’s registration in a fair and transparent manner. An applicant can register and follow up on his application, and those who meet the conditions will be selected after scheduled interviews, he added.

“‘We will soon announce several new jobs in the General Secretariat and appreciate the efforts made by the team concerned for developing the recruitment portal with modern technologies,” he said.

The portal aims to assist companies and institutions in the Gulf countries to find suitable human cadres while helping job seekers to find employment as per their capabilities and qualifications.Preliminary data on the recruitment portal showed that it will have a wide range of vacancies from fields like engineering, medicine, management, finance, marketing, and others.

The most prominent advantages of the portal are the ability to search for vacancies by a country, and field, and to apply electronically while keeping updated on the status of the submitted applications.

The portal will enable communication with companies and institutions and enhance cooperation among the Gulf countries.

The unified recruitment portal will save time and effort in searching for suitable human cadres and use the latest technology and practices.
