Ru'ya Careers Fair
Amid the massive turnout for the Ru'ya Careers Fair, which attracts thousands of job seekers over
three days, it becomes challenging for companies to select the most suitable candidates and conduct
interviews on the spot. This has prompted some to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to help with the
selection of candidates.

Alia Yousef from E& explained how job applications are processed using AI, “Job applicants can
apply via a dedicated iPad. Their data and CVs are entered, and one job opening is opened for each

applicant.”
