Bayt.com *did* require one extra step. That page has been removed and you now go directly to the main page. I don't know when was the last time you visited Bayt.com but you now we have little flags that represent each country for which you are trying to search a job. Another thing is that Bayt.com has rss feeds, so that you can see the latest job directly from your browser or favorite rss reader. Just for the records I am a Bayt.com employee - No need to check my IP ;) Mark,

The steps i put are the steps you need to take to find the jobs in kuwait. and the fact that its on the left side bar and under the option search it is confusing and not user friendly. You might have had your cv since 98 but monstergulf just launched last month.. What do you mean its not true?

I have always used bayt and on the left hand side you get a kuwait flag that once you click on it you get all jobs in Kuwait. By the way the firts flag you talked about is just to set your preferences for hot hjobs. I still believe that Bayt.com is by far much better. At lease I have got by last two jobs fthrough Bayt.com. I had my Cv with Monster.com since 1998 and got Nil contacts. Thanks Mark,

With Bayt you dont have any options. Plus i just checked your IP and it seems you are a Bayt.com employee! plus with monstergulf once u get the list u have an option to sort by relevance, freshness and popularity.

MonsterGulf 1) you go to monstergulf.com 2) you clcik on Kuwait Thats it Bayt 1) you go to bayt.com 2) you click on jobs in kuwait 3) you click on kuwait again in the side bar then you get the list plus its not obvious u need to click kuwait on the sidebar to get the list, it took me a couple of tries to figure that out. thats not a user-friendly platform. actually i think Bayt is not user friendly at all. for example:

How do you find out what jobs are available in Kuwait?

MonsterGulf
1) you go to monstergulf.com
2) you clcik on Kuwait
Thats it

Bayt
1) you go to bayt.com
2) you click on jobs in kuwait
3) you click on kuwait again in the side bar
then you get the list

plus its not obvious u need to click kuwait on the sidebar to get the list, it took me a couple of tries to figure that out.
thats not a user-friendly platform.

I havent seen any equal to their user-friendly platform and the advanced tools and applications anywhere on any other jobs site. It is definitely the easiest to use and most user friendly jobs site out there, and the fact that their platform is fully bilingual and they have 10 regional offices shows that they are firmly committed to the region and there to stay. Have u seen their testimonials from jobseekers and employers? Bayt.com obviously works!!!!

It's technologicaly more advanced than Monster, first impressions, they're outdated. I still think Bayt has the market already and is a better service.
