Company Snapshot

Since founding Akhtaboot in 2007, Yousef and Mohamad have quickly made a splash in the online recruiting market. With a user-friendly interface, superior functionality and searching capability, and a charismatic brand, Aktaboot can now match its vast amount of daily visitors (job seekers) with over 500 registered employers — including international players such as Google, FedEx, and LC Electronics.

As the Middle East works to create over 200 million jobs by 2020, Akhtaboot has both real potential for growth and an opportunity to have a significant impact on the region. The combination of surging internet penetration rates and high unemployment in the Middle East has yielded a promising environment for Akhtaboot to become the industry leader, linking internet-savvy youth to newly created jobs in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, and beyond.

While working at Akhtaboot, Yousef also co-founded (with Mohamad) the card gaming site Jawaker.
