Ministry of Labor and Social Development: Register attendance, book appointments, and view available job opportunities through the website

30-05-2020

The Ministry of Labour and Social Development announced that, starting Monday, 1 June 2020, it will begin enhancing its electronic recruitment procedures after successfully completing the trial period. This will provide jobseekers with the full opportunity to easily access the system, register their attendance, and book an appointment for nominating jobseekers for employment through the Ministry’s website www.mlsd.gov.bh. Jobseekers can log in, register their attendance electronically, and book upcoming appointments. They can also view available employment opportunities at the electronic recruitment fair and nominate themselves for the jobs they desire and that suit them, according to what is available in the Ministry’s vacancy bank. The Ministry clarified in a statement that eligibility for unemployment benefits and compensation requires electronic attendance registration and viewing the available employment opportunities on the Ministry’s website, which exempts jobseekers from personally visiting the Ministry and its employment and training centres. This comes against the backdrop of the precautionary measures and preventive measures taken by the Ministry of Labour and Social Development to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), which come in implementation of the decisions of the Coordination Committee, headed by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister, may God protect him, and in a manner that achieves high efficiency in harnessing electronic systems to serve citizens and achieve more justice and transparency in the nomination and employment systems applied in the Ministry. The Ministry of Labour and Social Development called on citizens seeking employment who face difficulties in dealing with the electronic services on the Ministry’s website to call the hotline (80008001) to obtain the necessary facilities and guidance for the employment process, or to visit the Ministry’s employment and training centres in all governorates of the Kingdom of Bahrain. This measure comes in light of the Ministry of Labour and Social Development launching a package of electronic services in the labour field. These services can be accessed by visiting the Ministry’s website (www.mlsd.gov.bh) and completing the required transactions with ease and convenience.
