Hiring Process

There are 4 levels of screening tests. Each one is for specific positions. Test A is the most difficult, while D is the easiest. The test should be completed in 20 minutes. They test proficiency in the English language. This written test is followed by a verbal one to determine the verbal proficiency in the English language of the Applicant.

The procedure of applying for a job here is as follows. It starts by the applicant emailing or faxing his or her CV, or giving it by hand or through someone. In any case, they all end up in the HR Department. Then the CV is checked. If it is found promising, the applicant is phoned for an interview. If the applicant is not in Sharm, he/she is brought here by the company's bus from Cairo and accomodated in the Hotel till the interview ends. When the applicant arrives, he/she fills in an application form then takes the screening test followed by the verbal one. His or her CV together with the screening test form which also includes the results of the verbal test are all stapled together with the application form. This bundle is then delivered to the manager of the department to which the applicant is applying for. The application includes the applicant's photo. The department manager then makes another interview with the applicant based on which he/she either signs or rejects the application. The applicant may or may not also be interviewed before or after this by the HR Director.

If the application was signed by the department manager, it is then signed by the HR Director followed by the signature of the general manager. Then and only then does the hiring procedure of this person start. The applicant delivers his or her birth certificate, 12 photos, highest education certificate, security clearance and in case of males a certificate showing the completion of or exemption from military service. That's all.

The HR Department then takes care of filling appropriate forms for this newly hired employee and putting everything in a newly created employee paper file. In addition of course to recording all necessary data on a software system.
