women job portal twffaha
Good news for all Middle Eastern women. Twffaha, a web portal for job seeking Arab women , has launched.
Twffaha, is an online website that has women - only vacancies and job offerings, and a platform for employers to offer and seek prospective women employees.
The site is founded from the belief that women are an underrated asset in the Middle East and that, if recruited properly, they can guide economic growth and sustainability in that area.
The founder of Twffaha is make web entrepreneur and web strategist, Ashraf A. Aziz Mansoor, who got the idea for Twffaha in late 2007. Realising that different studies showed the rate of recruiting women in the region is far beyond the international rates, at a time when he was designing a job portal for a different purpose, he realised women were an underserved niche and a good way to compete with other job portals. The result was the launch Twffaha. Let’s hope there will be plenty of jobs for prospective female internet heroes!
