Trovit Middle East

Site's statement

Jobboard Finder’s opinion

Summary: Trovit is a job aggregator, now based in 53 countries; but it could also be categorized as a classifieds website since they specialize in advertising homes, car, jobs and sometimes products.  Depending on where you are, Trovit doesn’t necessarily reach as many people and you can’t always be redirected to other job boards. These countries only use Trovit as a search engine: Pakistan.

Design: The layout is very similar to Google’s, which makes sense because they aim to offer a similar service: gathering information from all over the web relating to specific topics and helping fit the adverts into organized sections. A few pop-ups, but they aim to keep that to a minimum.

The job board objective: Simplifying job searches. There is a huge emphasis on understanding the users and the data that helps stay on top of what the people want.

Recruiter observations: When it comes to posting jobs on Trovit, you’re not really using Trovit. In the Middle East, you’ll be using either www.gulfy.com or www.laimoon.com. Content is redirected to and from Trovit which means it could help your job appear in searches without even meaning to. See Bayt.com for more information about the recruiting on Trovit.ma

Jobseeker observations: Being able to access many job offers from all over the web in one location makes Trovit a mini-Google. You can create an account, but you’re always redirected to other websites with their own conditions so you’ll be filling out forms twice. That being said, Trovit’s 90 million active monthly users don’t seem to mind.

The job offers: The large array of jobs are sorted by the profession, the region, the contract and the work hours (full time/ part time).

Reactivity: See www.gulfy.com for more details for all the available Middle Eastern countries (except for Emirates: see www.laimoon.com).

Special features: Personalized alerts for job searches, centralization of different classifieds and job offers, personalized web addresses for each version of Trovit (depending on the country), icons to help navigate around the website.

Verdict: There’s no harm in using Trovit. Whether you do or don’t, your job offers will still pop up somewhere on the search engine.
