In a country where skilled professionals are often overlooked by traditional hiring methods, Jobs for Lebanon is transforming the recruitment process through the power of artificial intelligence. The platform is helping employers efficiently connect with top local talent, faster, smarter, and with greater accuracy.
According to Hiring Success Manager, Sandra Ibrahim, the mission is clear:
“At Jobs for Lebanon, we are leveraging AI to revolutionize the hiring process and help employers connect with top local talent more efficiently.”
The process begins when a candidate applies to a role. From there, the system goes to work behind the scenes.
“When a candidate applies to an open position, our AI system automatically scans the applicant’s resume and compares it to the job description, generating a match score.”
Using this analysis, the system automatically creates a customized assessment designed specifically for the job in question.
“Based on this analysis, a customized assessment tailored to the role is created and sent directly to the applicant. Once completed, the AI reviews and scores the assessment on a scale of 1 to 10.”
Only candidates who score 8 or higher on both the resume match and assessment move forward to the next stage: a live interview conducted by an expert recruiter via Zoom.
“Candidates who achieve a score of 8 or higher on both the resume match and the assessment are advanced to the expert interview stage. During this phase, an expert recruiter conducts a one-on-one Zoom interview using a set of AI-generated questions.”
Following the interview, recruiters enter structured feedback directly into the system.
“The recruiter then provides structured feedback in the system and, if the candidate is deemed qualified, moves them forward to the client interview and their profile will be shared with the employers.”
This automated, end-to-end screening and vetting approach is not just fast, it’s groundbreaking.
Not even LinkedIn offers this level of AI-driven assessment, interview automation, and tailored candidate feedback.
“This entire AI-powered process allows employers to receive a shortlist of the top 5 qualified candidates within just 8 to 10 days,” Sandra explains.
One standout example is Zeinab Karout, a Project Manager with 11+ years of experience in the NGO sector. Her profile, which completed all three steps, reflects the success of the system in action.
In the Expert Interview step, the recruiter shared:
“Her leadership style is supportive and adaptable, with a clear passion for mentoring and team development… her skills and approach are highly transferable.”
The AI assessment praised her:
“Strong problem-solving skills, logical reasoning… and methodical approach to budget management and stakeholder engagement.”
In the Lead step, her alignment was confirmed:
“The candidate appears to be a strong fit for the Project Manager role, with relevant skills and experience that match the job requirements.”
With this AI-enhanced process, Jobs for Lebanon is not only speeding up recruitment but elevating the quality of every hire, offering hope and opportunity to local professionals, and trusted results to employers.
