Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030: Bayt.com and MCIT launch tech talent hub to bolster digital economy
The project will be rolled out in three phases over a year, demonstrating a commitment to economic transformation and growth in the tech sector.
Bayt.com and Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch the Tech Talent Hub, an initiative aimed at identifying, developing, and retaining top technology talent within the Kingdom. Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, this project seeks to strengthen the tech and telecommunications workforce, fostering a knowledge-based economy.
The Tech Talent Hub, supported by Bayt.com’s extensive network of over 52 million job seekers, will offer tailored recruitment services, workshops, and ongoing support to connect skilled talent with industry opportunities. MCIT will lead the Hub’s establishment in partnership with Talentera, Bayt.com’s recruitment platform with an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), and provide essential job seeker data to optimise recruitment efforts.
The initiative, scheduled to roll out in three phases over one year, underscores both organisations’ commitment to a sustainable approach to meeting workforce demands and adapting to advancements in the tech sector. Leadership from both MCIT and Bayt.com have expressed commitment to the Tech Talent Hub, recognising its significance for Saudi Arabia’s economic transformation and growth within the technology sector.
They emphasised that the Hub will be critical in nurturing the Kingdom’s tech talent and connecting job seekers with valuable opportunities. This initiative promises to benefit job seekers and employers by enhancing the talent pool, supporting career development, and contributing to the Kingdom’s digital transformation goals under Vision 2030.
