DOHA: Qatar Airways has won awards in two separate categories at the LinkedIn Talent Awards 2018: Best Employer Brand and Best Recruiter. This is the second consecutive year that Qatar Airways has won awards in both categories.
Senior members of Qatar Airways’ HR department attended the awards ceremony, which was held at the Marsa Malaz Kempinski Doha, where awards were given to companies based on their utilisation of LinkedIn solutions and activities on the LinkedIn platform.
Stringent criteria was applied by LinkedIn to each category, where only the top performing companies were selected for awards. Qatar Airways was named ‘Best Employer Brand’ based on its engagement with potential employees and reach in the marketplace, and ‘Top Social Recruiter’ based on its proficiency in the use of LinkedIn Recruiter over the past 12 months.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “Qatar Airways is very proud to have been recognised for its success in establishing a great employer brand and renowned recruitment team, by the LinkedIn Talent Awards. The partnership between Qatar Airways and LinkedIn is a strategic one, where multiple departments at Qatar Airways are utilising LinkedIn solutions. We are extremely pleased to have won these awards for the second year in a row, which are a testament to the calibre and strength of our employees.”
These awards further build on other recent successes for the airline. In September 2018, Qatar Airways was named ‘Best Middle Eastern/African Airline’ at the Business Traveller Asia Pacific Awards held in Hong Kong.
The Business Traveller Asia Pacific awards pay tribute to the very best in the travel and hospitality industry, and identify those who go the extra mile to make travellers’ experiences as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
