The weekly Egyptian
business newspaper "Al Mal" published in
mid May 2003 an interview with skill-link.com's
Chairman Sherif Samy concerning the recent labor law
just approved by the Egyptian Parliament.

Sherif stressed the
new regulation introduced in the law addressing
recruitment services. He bitterly criticized it for
not differentiating between various segment of the
recruitment industry, such as head hunting firms and
online portals (eg. skill-link.com). As it stands,
lots of bureaucracy - if the law is to be followed
to the letter - stands in the way of foreign
companies interested to identify suitable candidates
to be recruited in the Gulf or other locations.
skill-link.com's CEO presented a number of
suggestions he hopes would be taken into
consideration when issuing the law's executive
regulation.
