In turn, the Vice-Chairman and General Manager of the company, Muhammad Al-Zoubi, said in a statement to Al-Anba spoke of opening of the door to receive applications from Saturday midnight taking into account all technical means that facilitate the contracting procedures. It makes it very smooth and easy, after the company’s employees have been trained to deal with these contractual and technical procedures.
He explained that the period of recruiting the male or female worker will be within a month, and will be gradually reduced in the coming period, stressing that the company is ready to offer special offers at reduced prices on travel tickets in cooperation and coordination with approved airlines and travel agencies, pointing out that the cost of travel is not included in the recruitment of workers.
