Khalil Al Khoori, Undersecretary for Human Resources Affairs at MoHRE, said: “The Ministry is committed to enforcing legal measures and penalties against any company proven to be involved in such activities without proper licensing.”
The ministry's inspection systems track promotional and advertising campaigns circulated on social media, or any other platform, to identify potential violations in the job market.
"The Ministry also carries out inspection visits to suspected companies to flag unlawful practices and refer cases of violation to the Public Prosecution," added Khalil Al Khoori.
Residents have been advised to verify that entities advertising employment or mediation services have obtained permits from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation before engaging with them, to avoid being defrauded.
In case of any violations, they are urged to report violations and illegal recruitment practices to the ministry’s call centre at 600590000 or via the MoHRE smart application.
