At a time when there are growing concerns about people losing jobs to AI, companies like Bayt.com is planning to integrate generative AI to create more opportunities for job seekers.
Companies are constantly striving to adapt and innovate to meet the ever-changing demands of their users and stakeholders. Bayt.com, one of the leading job portals in the Middle East, is a prime example of how a company can successfully undergo a digital transformation to stay ahead in the competitive market. Bayt.com bridges the gap between job seekers and employers by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
“We are continuously working on integrating AI into the user journey for both job seekers and employers. AI will play a significant role in providing a personalised experience, enhancing recommendations, and improving search functionalities. We have projects in place for both generative AI and auto-detection, and our users can expect to see more AI-driven features in the future,” said Syed Atif Ali, Director of Infrastructure – Bayt.com.
Emergent technologies like AI-driven features will provide job seekers with tailored job recommendations, relevant search results, and improved matching with potential employers, leading to a more streamlined and effective job search process.
The use of AI and cloud technologies also allows for better talent acquisition. Employers can leverage AI-powered tools to quickly identify and connect with candidates who possess the right skills and qualifications, significantly reducing the time and effort spent on sifting through resumes. The scalability and cost-effectiveness provided by cloud computing ensure that employers can handle varying levels of job applications without compromising the user experience
With projects focusing on generative AI and auto-detection, Bayt.com’s users can expect AI-driven features in the future, ensuring a more efficient and intuitive job search experience.
As the digital landscape expands, so do the challenges of managing infrastructure and handling fluctuating traffic demands. Bayt.com recognised the need for a robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure to cater to their growing user base. Cloud computing emerged as a vital component of their digital transformation.
Bayt.com’s approach to cloud computing has been cloud-agnostic, meaning they designed their application architecture in a way that allows them to move between different cloud providers based on their needs. Eventually, they migrated to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to leverage its benefits fully.
“To cater to traffic and provide a secure and scalable infrastructure, we rely on cloud computing as a crucial part of our digital transformation. Currently, we have migrated to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which fulfilled our requirements for data residency, data locality, performance, and cost-effectiveness,” said Ali.
For a company operating in the Middle East, data residency is a critical concern, as it involves adhering to local regulations and ensuring data is stored within specific geographical boundaries. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure addressed this concern for Bayt.com by establishing a presence in the Middle East. This allowed Bayt.com to comply with local regulations while offering a safe and secure platform for its users.
“One of the key challenges we faced was data residency. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure addressed this concern with its presence in the Middle East, allowing us to comply with local regulations. The transition to OCI helped us overcome this hurdle, ensuring data residency and meeting the necessary security and compliance standards,” said Ali.
For a platform like Bayt.com that deals with sensitive user data, security and compliance are of paramount importance. By migrating to Oracle Cloud, Bayt.com benefits from the secure hosting infrastructure provided by OCI, meeting all the required information security standards.
“Additionally, as tenants of this infrastructure, we ensure that our application is also designed securely to provide a safe and reliable user experience,” emphasised Ali.
The journey of Bayt.com’s digital transformation serves as an inspiring example of how AI and cloud computing can drive innovation, enhance user experiences, and address critical challenges faced by businesses in the modern era. Bayt.com ensures that it continues to be the go-to platform for job seekers and employers in the Middle East, providing them with the tools and resources needed to connect, grow, and succeed in the dynamic job market.
