Public Media | September 2003

National Commercial Bank (NCB) has launched its corporate career section, “Career Al-Ahli” (http://career.alahli.com) as part of its corporate website, www.alahli.com. The new career section presents an opportunity for NCB to gain a competitive advantage in its corporate recruiting efforts. Online recruitment leader, Bayt.com leveraged its proprietary ASP technology and recruitment expertise to develop the new career section for this prominent Saudi employer.

As one of the leading banks in Saudi Arabia, NCB needs to fill a large number of job opportunities annually. In the past, NCB used various recruiting methods to source talent for their numerous openings. However, they found traditional methods were not enough to yield the quality of candidates desired, nor the right number of candidates to choose from. NCB was in search of a fast, easy, and cost-effective way to attract, deploy, and retain top talent. Understanding the value of capitalizing on advanced Internet technologies to manage their recruiting needs effectively, NCB turned to Bayt.com, for a solution that would streamline its entire recruiting process for the long-term.

At “Career Al-Ahli” job-seekers can create a professional online CV, search and apply to NCB jobs directly online, and set up search agents to notify them when jobs at NCB in their field of interest become available. Additionally, since job-seekers’ CVs are stored on “Career Al-Ahli,” recruiting managers at NCB can easily search for qualified candidates from this database of job-seekers without having to wait for those candidates to apply.

Bayt.com’s Employer ASP recruiting solution enables NCB’s managers to save time because they are able to search, filter, and short-list candidates faster and easier.

“Bayt.com is providing National Commercial Bank with an Employer ASP recruiting solution on par with what leading companies around the world are using to recruit the highest caliber professionals,” stated Mona Ataya, vice president marketing, Bayt.com. “Moreover, by shifting their recruiting online, NCB reduces paper processes and streamlines the hiring process to be significantly more effective and efficient.”

In addition to leveraging a first-class recruiting section to its corporate website, NCB joins the ranks of other Fortune 500 companies, who are using their corporate websites for recruiting purposes. According to iLogos Research, 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies have a dedicated career section and use a series of best practices to attract, convince, capture, and process candidates on their corporate websites.
