skill-link.com interviewed by Al Mal newspaper

The weekly Egyptian business newspaper "Al Mal" interviewed skill-link.com about the impact of the Egyptian Pound devaluation on salaries and the employment prospects of Egyptians abroad, namely in the Arab Gulf.

Sherif Samy, skill-link.com's Chairman was quoted at length in the November 2nd 2003 issue commenting on how most Egyptians were negatively impacted by the devaluation. While employment in the Gulf became more lucrative, ie. higher pay in LE, opportunities are still selective. "We will not see the massive recruitment that were witnessed in the 1980s and early 1990s" he added. "The more positive trend that could emerge, would be the establishment of offshore call center, and business operations outsourcing centers in Egypt, to benefit from the relatively low salaries and skill availability", he added.
