KUWAIT: Kuwait
Finance House (KFH) has organized the largest Kuwaiti youth recruitment event
where it hired 80 young Kuwaitis out of a total of 150 job applications. This
confirms its leadership in attracting and qualifying national youth cadres and
reflects its localization efforts and the comprehensive strategy it follows to
develop and provide talents with training. 

During the
two-day event, held at the Millennium Hotel, KFH received and assessed job
applications through interviews that covered role playing, proficiency,
behavioral testing, personal excellence and important skills. A dedicated KFH
team comprising HR officials and region managers from the retail banking,
conducted the interviews.

The recent
initiative reflects KFH`s keenness to strengthen its position as one of the
private sector leaders in recruiting, qualifying and providing success elements
for the young Kuwaitis. Since national employees comprise one of the most
important elements of sustainable development, KFH also provides the
opportunity to build a successful career and assume leadership positions in the
future.

As a continuous
strategy, Kuwaitis` recruitment and development at KFH are supported by the
growth opportunities and the large market share it enjoys, which requires
national cadres to achieve success in all areas. KFH participated in various
public and private job fairs in Kuwait, aiming at attracting, training and
qualifying the distinguished national human resources, defining the labor
market, the available job opportunities, the nature of Islamic banking and
private sector environment.

KFH participated
in the 24th Kuwait University Career Fair, which was organized by the college
of Business Administration. It also took part in the 21st Career Fair organized
by the Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST).  Recently, KFH has participated as a platinum
sponsor in the exhibition "because you deserve 2" which was hosted by
the Manpower and Government Restructuring Program. Additionally, KFH is the
only bank to launch the "Forsa" program for outstanding young Kuwaiti
graduates to develop their skills and equip them with the highest standards to
enter the job market.
