MANAMA: Bahraini job-seekers were given a boost yesterday with the launch of a new website designed to get them into work. Hundreds of jobs are already being advertised at Jobs4Bahrainis.com, which is a joint venture by leading regional recruitment company Gulf Connexions and publishing and marketing organisation Al Hilal Group.
The site is specifically targeting Bahrainis, who can also upload their own CV for free.
It is described as the first private sector initiative designed to link Bahraini job-seekers with companies on the lookout for local talent, offering opportunities for everyone from school-leavers to qualified professionals.
The plan is to get colleges, universities, training centres and recruitment professionals involved in the site, increasing the prospects for Bahraini job-seekers.
It is also hoped that Tamkeen, the government body tasked with supporting local businesses and training unemployed Bahrainis, will also climb onboard.
"It would be great to enhance the relationship and it would help Bahrainis get proper jobs," said Al Hilal Group managing director Ronnie Middleton.
Al Hilal group chairman Anwar Abdulrahman said the site would not only offer job opportunities in Bahrain, but in other countries as well.
He said the site would offer opportunities at all levels, including career guidance services such as advice on CV writing and interview techniques.
