Bayt.com, the Middle East’s number one job site, has released a completely revamped version of its popular mobile app, with new features, new design, and new capabilities! The exciting relaunch makes the job seeking experience truly mobile, as users can now get notifications on suitable jobs, get access to market information, recommend jobs to friends, and much more.

Omar Tahboub, VP of Product, Bayt.com, said: “We want to provide our members with technology for the future, to make their job search easier and enhance their overall experience. With our new mobile app, users can apply for jobs instantly with a touch of a finger, while incorporating a social element that now allows them to recommend jobs to their friends, get network updates, market insights and much more through the app’s Newsfeed feature. This integrated, mobile approach to job seeking is where the future of job searching lies.”

Among other features, the new app offers:

Build CV and apply to jobs on the go. Users can apply for jobs directly on their smartphone, anywhere, at any time, and instantly with just the touch of a finger. They can register for a Bayt.com account directly from the app or using their Facebook or Google account – no need to go back to the main site to do that anymore! Users can also directly build their CVs with the app without having to visit the site again.

Connect to peers. Bayt.com knows the power of being social, and has infused a social element into its new app. Users can now use the app to recommend jobs to their friends. They can get recommended for a job; connect to the app using their Facebook account to find out where their friends are working and harness the power of referrals; and get updated on recommended jobs, news from their network, market insights and much more through the ground-breaking Newsfeed feature – all essential to stay on top of their job searching process.

Increase profile’s visibility. Through a powerful notification centre, users are now notified about which employers, from which countries, viewed their CV, and what keywords were used by employers to find their CV. They can also see who viewed their public profile and from which countries and industries. This is powerful information that can help them tailor their CV, public profile and job applications based on the needs of employers who search for them and are interested in hiring them.

Get insights and market information. Users now have top-class market information at their disposable, whenever they need it. They can discover the three fastest growing job roles by country, as well as the average salary paid for a specific job title by country, through the Bayt.com Salary Search feature.
