Kuwait, 10 March 2019: Diamond Sponsor Gulf Bank showcased a first-of- its-kind virtual recruitment experience at the 21st edition of Gulf University for Science and Technology’s (GUST) Career Fair. Focused on bringing together GUST trainees and alumni with potential job opportunities, the fair was held from the 6th till the 7th of March 2019.

During the event, Gulf Bank representatives demonstrated the Bank’s expertise, offering applicants and attendees the first ever virtual career fair experience. Utilising innovative technology, the Bank representatives conducted unique on the ground interviews through VR, highlighting company policy and culture, providing students with a comprehensive knowledge of the departments and resources available within the bank.

The virtual experience also included a dedicated online platform, acting as a virtual booth for each department within the Bank. The virtual booth illustrated live experiences of a day in each department, as well as offered live video interviews and chat rooms, that provided convenient opportunities for applicants regardless of their location.

Speaking on Gulf Bank’s participation, Mrs. Salma AlHajjaj, General Manager of Human Resources at Gulf Bank said: “The Bank’s participation in the fair provides us with the opportunity to support our youth in reaching their potential in all aspects of their lives. While highlighting the Bank’s innovation with the virtual experience, we are able to highlight the fantastic career opportunities available to them within Gulf Bank, which reaffirms our commitment to the empowerment of Kuwait’s youth, and the continued Kuwaitization of the private sector.”

Gulf Bank has a long-standing commitment to the Kuwaitization of the private sector, and to date, has achieved 73.4% Kuwaitization across departments. By participating in the fair, the Bank fosters an environment which appeals to Kuwaiti talent, as employer of choice allowing fresh graduates to unlock their full potential, through talent development in order to contribute to both the banking sector and Kuwait.
