Bayt.com May 29, 2006
I wanted to express my concerns about your Bayt.com - I saw a position on their site and the employer was Al Ghurair which is a very well know family and a good company to work for in Dubai. After I applied for the Finance Managers position I had to go through the registration process, I guess like every one does. But this process did it take 2 months before I got any kind of feed back, I was also asked to pay $239.00 in order to Get a "WoW CV" because the representative at Bayt.com told me that if I needed that job faster, this would be the price to pay, WoW indeed... I just believe this is as good as charging someone for a job, its more like, you dish out 880AED and we can get you this job. Especially because the resume that I got from Bayt.com was something I could have done with some Google search copy / paste and produced in 10 minutes. That was not my resume, and those were not my skills.

I never got any kind of feed back from Bayt.com, even though I repeatedly emailed and called them. Now I have a resume that I paid 880AED for and the representative is not responding to my emails. I wish there were some organization I could go to and report this kind of treatment very unethical and misleading to what their website claims are. I am a U.K. citizen and I believe one should not pay for anything especially when we are looking out for a job, just like how it is back home.

I am wondering if this is happening to any other individuals out there who are looking for work. I do understand some online company's do charge some sort of a fee to provide some sort of a service that only makes my chances of getting a job better. I also believe this fee is paid at our own free will because we choose to register with them. But I do not believe an organization like Bayt.com should black mail a candidate and lure them to purchase their CV builder to get for a job. Just so you know, I am not the only one, I have gone through forums on Bayt.com being a scam, I have my friends who faced similar problems. I need advice, I need legal advice.

Kevin i'm not a legal advisor but I feel your pain and I suggest you contact jobsindubai.com if you do a search on this board you will see how reputable they are as a company and only charge about AED 500, who knows they may even give you a job working directly for them. :roll: :roll:

Good luck and thank you for joining the Dubai Forums site, enjoy your stay.

Yo Kev,

I'm registered with Bayt.com, I have my CV which I created myself residing at their site, I never paid a dime and will never do, they never asked me to pay anything...the feedback you get from the employers NOT bayt.com.

Bottom line....you're full of it!

I heard from an employee of bayt.com that everyday 1 hour of every bayt.com's employees shift is to go to all the forums and try to damage the good reputation of jobsindubai.com, as you can see on every forum there are so many bad comments about jobsindubai.com and I don't think they could open an office in Dubai if they were a scam. I wanted to tell every body about it.

these postings are all BS.[/i]
