The Labour Ministry said it has set a minimum target of three in-person interviews for every registered jobseeker in 2025.
The move follows a directive issued on 28 September 2025 by HRH Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
In a written reply to First Deputy Speaker Abdulnabi Salman, the Ministry clarified that these three “opportunities” refer only to documented face-to-face interviews with employers held at the Ministry; initial online applications are not counted.
The Ministry also checks wage levels before listing vacancies. Minimum salaries are set at BD500 for university graduates, BD430 for diploma holders, and BD350 for secondary certificate holders or below, with adjustments made based on specialisation and market demand.
Progress will be tracked by the completion of three documented interviews per jobseeker, and hires are counted only after registration with the General Organisation for Social Insurance confirms employment. Interviews are scheduled and overseen by Ministry representatives, with follow-ups to monitor employer selections and hiring steps.
