Wathifny an Omani Recruitment Platform

Wathifny is an Arabic word that reflects the aspirations of any job seeker, to find a fulfilling job and develop their careers. A noticeable trend nowadays is that many young graduates find it difficult to secure jobs. Recent youth surveys conducted by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (ncsi.gov.om) in 2015 report an average job search period of 4 years for university degree holders, 2-4 years for those who hold a general diploma or less. Recent statistics (see figure below) indicate that greater numbers of would-be graduates are in the pipeline line, where more than 78K new job opportunity will be needed from 2016 to 2020 (NCSI).

University graduates take 2-4 years (on average) to find a job.

Job seekers were found to utilise multiple methods to find employment. The most popular was the National Manpower Register and Assistance from Friends and Family. Generally job seekers did not reply heavily on online recruitment advertising. Job seekers with university degrees utilised online services more than their less qualified counterparts. In contrast, employed youth depend more on internal process and Family and Friends to lear about new opportunities. They do not rely on other sources such as internet advertisements or classified as main informational point.

These survey outcomes suggest a certain level of information bottlenecks as employers seek to find talent. This is also true for youth and young talent, where finding the right job might be further complicated by lack of effective challenge.

8 out of 10 university graduates reported using internet portals to find a job.
