In its continuing effort to contribute towards national human development, Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) announced that it would dedicate an entire day “Al Tawzeef Day” towards meeting UAE Nationals seeking employment at the bank. Officials from the bank’s human resources department will receive and meet UAE National job seekers on July 20, 2005, with a view to offering them suitable employment at the bank.
After the conclusion of the event, applications from prospective candidates will be screened by a special committee for three working days and those who meet the requirements will be approached by DIB’s human resource department.
The full-day event, which will be held at Bustan Rotana Hotel, signals a series of innovative ideas set to be launched by the bank to target UAE Nationals and offer them exceptional opportunities to enter the banking sector through DIB. Officials from the bank will also be present at the venue to respond to inquiries about the bank.
Obaid Al Shamsi, Head of the Emiratisation - DIB said: “Following the enhancement of DIB’s image as a leading institution in the local and international markets, the bank has succeeded in attracting a large number of nationals in various cadres. This has resulted in nationals accounting for about 50 per cent of the total number of employees hired by the bank during the first six months of 2005,” he added.
Mr. Al Shamsi said: “This event will focus on attracting the best available national talent for responsible positions at the bank and assessments will be made on the basis of qualifications alone. A reception area will be created at the venue for receiving applications of candidates and fixing the appointments which will take place on spot.”
“Emiratisation is one of the strategic objectives at DIB and occupies top priority at the bank. We are committed to promoting Emiratisation as a national strategic goal. DIB’s vision is based on attracting, recruiting, developing and retaining UAE nationals and increasing their contribution to the banking sector and the national economy.”
