International Islamic was keen to recruit more Qataris and place them in appropriate positions at various levels in the bank, said CEO Abdulbasit A al-Shaibei.“Currently we have a Qatarisation rate of about 40% in the top management level and an overall 20%. We wish to increase this further,” he said on the sidelines of the second ‘Career Day’ hosted by International Islamic at the Sheraton yesterday. “Recruiting Qatari males and females is a strategic decision taken by our human resources department and we ensure that recruited candidates are provided with appropriate training and they benefit from career enhancement and suitable promotions, al-Shaibei said.Al-Shaibei said International Islamic was inviting Qataris with a General Certificate of Education and a university degree to attend the event at the Sheraton from 8am to 3pm until tomorrow.During ‘Career Day’, job seekers will be interviewed by a screening committee, which will shortlist qualified candidates for the available positions. Last year, al-Shaibei said more than 60 Qatari males and females were hired through the initiative. “We expect to sign up more Qataris this year,” he said.
