'Burqan' Participates in 'Wazifati': Committed to Attracting and Developing National Talent

Reaffirming its steadfast commitment to investing in national talent and supporting the development of Kuwait’s workforce, Boubyan Bank concluded its participation in the fifth edition of the “Waditi” (My Job) exhibition, one of Kuwait’s leading job fairs, held at the Arena Hall in the 360 Complex.

This participation provided the bank with an opportunity to engage directly with ambitious Kuwaiti professionals, introducing them to the diverse career opportunities it offers, while highlighting its employees, corporate values, and work culture that continue to contribute to its success.

Boubyan Bank’s participation aligns with its comprehensive strategy for investing in human capital, which places employee development, empowerment, and long-term professional growth at the core of its approach to achieving sustainable success.

During the exhibition, the bank’s Human Resources team engaged directly with potential candidates, discussing their career aspirations and outlining available career paths across various departments and banking sectors, as well as the learning and development opportunities the bank provides to its employees.

On this occasion, Naqeeb Amin, General Manager of Human Resources at Boubyan Bank Group, stated: “At Boubyan Bank, we believe that investing in human capital is a fundamental pillar for building a stronger, more innovative, and sustainable institution.

Our participation in the ‘Waditi’ exhibition embodies this belief and reflects our ongoing commitment to attracting, developing, and empowering the next generation of Kuwaiti talent. Our priorities extend beyond merely attracting talent; we are also dedicated to providing a work environment where employees feel supported and motivated, equipped with the tools and opportunities necessary to realize their full potential.”

He added: “Our employees are the driving force behind our continuous progress. By fostering a corporate culture rooted in responsibility, transparency, teamwork, and passion, and by investing in continuous learning and professional development, we strive to offer meaningful career paths that contribute to achieving national objectives for human capital development and supporting Kuwait Vision 2035.”

In a move that added a creative touch to the bank’s participation this year, Boubyan Bank launched a special publication titled “Blue Pages from Boubyan,” an innovative booklet designed to give exhibition visitors an interactive glimpse into professional life within the bank.

Inspired by the concept of traditional phone directories, the publication showcases Boubyan Bank’s work culture through a collection of employee stories, insights into the work environment, job benefits, and other topics that reflect the authentic employee experience. The publication was distributed to visitors through the bank’s booth, serving as an innovative way to introduce potential candidates to Boubyan Bank, while transcending the boundaries of traditional recruitment conversations.

Over the course of the exhibition, the bank’s talent acquisition team met with numerous candidates from various academic and professional backgrounds, discussing available career opportunities and identifying promising talents for potential recruitment.

These meetings provided an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of candidates’ ambitions and capabilities, while showcasing the diversity of career paths available in the banking and financial sectors. On his part, Abdulwahab Jamal Abdulrahim, Executive Director of Talent Acquisition at Boubyan Bank, said: “Job fairs, such as the ‘Waditi’ exhibition, represent an important platform that allows us to engage directly with promising talent and better understand their career aspirations.”

At Bank AlBilad, we seek individuals with fresh insights and ideas, curiosity, and a desire to learn and grow. Equally important, we are committed to making it clear to candidates that joining Bank AlBilad means becoming part of an institution that values their contributions and supports their professional development.

Abdulwahab added, “This year, we made a special effort to make the candidate engagement experience more interactive and closer to them. Through initiatives such as ‘Blue Pages from AlBilad,’ we provide potential employees with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences, opportunities, and people that shape the bank’s work culture, helping them envision the possibilities available to build a successful career with us.”
