MonsterGulf launches - more choice has to be good

Quick post.. It was great to see our first client job postings appear on MonsterGulf today. They launched this week and Monster India are running the show which I think will work well to start with.

The job site scene is at last hotting up now, and a few major offline publishers are also getting into the market with their own jobs sites, aswell as one of the leading ISP's who are launching a regional site next month in 6 countries. Of course there is CareerMidEast and Bayt, who are already being given a run for their money by NaukriGulf a new site of Naukri.com, which is one of India's top 3 jobsites and employ something like 900 people which is quite staggering.

The choice and competition is already giving recruiters food for thought. I expect to see vertical sites tailored for this region, and the obvious sectors would have to be Oil & Gas, Hotels & Aviation. Let's see what else unfolds in 2006 as there is certainly room for many more good sites.

Got any more scoop on upcoming job sites??
