Jordan Kuwait Bank Signs Agreement with Elevatus

In early March, Jordan Kuwait Bank (JKB) signed an agreement with Elevatus, the provider of the Elevatus Video Assessment program, at the Bank's Head office. The agreement was signed by JKB’s Head of Human Resources Department, Mr. Daoud Issa and Elevatus’ CEO, Mrs. Yara Burgan. The signing ceremony was attended by Mr. Haethum Buttikhi, Head of Retail and Private Banking. The signing of this agreement comes as one of Jordan Kuwait Bank's pioneering initiatives in keeping pace with modern technology and digitalization. One of the most prominent features of the program is the use of remote initial interview technology, whereby job applicants answer pre-determined questions by the Bank by video using their mobile phone or computer. The program, and with the use of Artificial Intelligence, analyzes the applicants’ answers according to international standards, which raises the level of objectivity in the initial selection of candidates. The program also saves effort for applicants, especially those residing in other governorates, from visiting the bank for initial interviews in addition to having future employees access the modern computerized work environment before they are hired.
