Thousands of companies register on online platforms annually. For instance, more than 18,000 companies are now registered with Hire Lebanese. Around 250,000 job seekers have been registered in its ten years in the market, of which 80,000 are active. According to Rabih Mogharbel, CEO at Hire Lebanese, their platform publishes around 3,500 job openings every two months. “We remove job requests every 60 days,” he said.

At jobs.com.lb, run by the publisher of Lebanon Opportunities, the variety of the announcements has contributed to its success. Around 25 percent of the vacancies posted relate to marketing and sales, 12 percent to advertising and media, 11 percent to information technology, nine percent to engineering, design and architecture, and the remainder is spread between accounting and finance, administration, graphic design, hospitality, and human resources.
