Saongroup.com today announced the launch of Recruitgulf.com

Saongroup.com today announced the launch of Recruitgulf.com, as the company continues to expand its vibrant international online recruitment business. Recruitgulf.com will focus specifically on advertising jobs in the Gulf, unlike existing competitors who do not have this depth of focus in the Gulf region. Saongroup.com is one of the fastest growing online recruitment companies in the world with operations in Ireland, the UK, Europe, the USA, China and the Caribbean.

Ken Fitzpatrick, CEO, Saongroup.com commented: ìLaunching into this market presents a hugely exciting opportunity. The opportunities for saongroup.com are excellent because the Gulf is a growth market and has a highly lucrative recruitment industry. Added to this the UAE internet penetration is 36 per cent and has seen a 90 per cent growth in usage between 2000 and 2006. The level of recruitment advertising in newspapers is a cause for optimism and represents the main opportunity in the region. ëí

Ken continued: ìRecruitgulf.com will use Candidate Managerís internationally successful software to filter applications received on the site, thereby ensuring quality and relevant applications only are forwarded to recruiters.íí

Recruitgulf.com offices will be based in Dubai. Dubai, one of the most modern cities in the world, is a gateway to a population of more than 150 million in the Middle East. It is an energetic and flourishing city generating 800,000 new jobs each year. The UAE produces only 15,000 graduates each year and so there is a unique need in Dubai and throughout the Gulf to attract labour from other countries.
