Akhtaboot today launched the first video version of its popular radio advertisement. This marks the first of many video appearances of Mr. Akhtaboot. I think that the video says it all… Enjoy!
In 2020, the MENA region will be faced with the challenge of creating 100 million jobs . This is indeed a daunting challenge for the MENA region, more so with the absence of an effective platform that links job seekers with employers and vice versa. Recognizing this missing link between employers and job seekers, Akhtaboot stepped up to fill this gap. Their approach was to first identify employer’s most common recruitment aches and pains, whether through online or traditional recruitment. After approximately a month and a half of research and interviews, Akhtaboot was able to narrow down those recruitment problems into 4 distinct areas:
There are many job recruiting websites out there; some big, some small, but for the most part all the same. Akhtaboot is different because of the fact that the company’s founders actually saw and researched what was out there and said to themselves, “let’s build something different.”
Akhtaboot went beyond the basic functionality of allowing users to search for and apply to relevant jobs; they grasped the concepts of Web 2.0 (the next generation of the web) early on in the development of the website. They understood that an easy and user-friendly experience was key to the success of any website. They also wanted to build a website that was catering to the market that they were serving, and what better way to serve a recruitment market that is heavily reliant on word-of-mouth than by building “the career network”?
