During the event, more than half of the candidates received invitations for on-site interviews. Moreover, a significant number of interviewees signed job offers the same day. Commercial Bank ensured that the process ran smoothly, starting with registration and CV collection. Then HR professionals conducted screenings before hiring managers held interviews. Candidates also completed role assessments where needed, and reference checks confirmed suitability.
Career Day welcomed students and young professionals alike. Attendees learned about opportunities beyond banking, including economics, computer engineering, data engineering, cybersecurity, technology, and law. The bank highlighted multiple career paths, encouraging young Qataris to explore fields matching their interests and skills. By connecting candidates with different departments, Commercial Bank emphasized practical learning and professional growth.
Seven young Qataris, including children of Qatari mothers, signed job offers in front of the Assistant Director of the Department of National Manpower Recruitment. Their participation symbolized the success of Career Day and highlighted the bank’s commitment to Qatari talent development, which became a central theme of the event.
