ONE-STOP JOB PORTAL LAUNCHED IN ABU DHABI
abu dhabi — There is new hope for people on a hunt for job opportunities in Abu Dhabi, with the launch of a new recruitment portal. The Abu Dhabi Human Resources Authority (HRA) and the Abu Dhabi Smart Solutions and Services Authority (ADSSSA) on Tuesday launched the ‘Find a Job journey’ — the first, nextgeneration digital recruitment and talent development platform under the Abu Dhabi Government Services TAMM.
Kawthar Madhi, project manager of Find a Job, said the portal jobs.tamm.abudhabi is a one-stop, cost-free service, which will make the journey of finding a job till landing the offer letter an easier one.
“This journey is very beautiful for a very simple reason. A jobseeker needs to log in with a smart pass and create a CV if they don’t have one. There is a simple process to make your CV, which will highlight important information for employers to review.
“A jobseeker can apply for posted jobs. Once the employer accepts the application, the jobseeker will get a request for a good conduct certificate. And that’s why we’ve integrated it with the Ministry of Interior. We have also integrated it with SEHA for the medical fitness certificate,” she said.
Jobseekers don’t have to upload documents like the medical certificate, as it will be ‘tagged’ onto the CV through digitalisation. There will be a consent notification sent to the jobseeker, updating him or her about the status of the medical certificate. “The system doesn’t send it directly to the employer. The jobseeker has to give the consent to share it with the employer.”
Once the certificates are through, the employer finishes the recruitment cycle by sending the offer letter to the job seeker. “Everything happens within the journey. You don’t have to carry the black bag with all your certificates and documents,” she said, noting how the platform saves time for everyone.
the journey
The one-stop process starts with logging in through a smart pass, which is integrated with one’s Emirates ID. Jobseekers on visit visas or those abroad can also avail of the services.
“This is the first time something like this is being launched in the UAE. This journey, from the beginning till getting your job offer, is digitalised under one umbrella, with all the necessary integration with our stakeholder partners.”
There is also the provision of auto-match — that is, once a profile with complete CV is created in the portal, the jobseekers will be alerted about employment opportunities which match their skills.
“The notifications could be through SMS and e-mail, too,” said Madhi.
Government, private jobs
The portal will have job openings from government and semi-government entities and private firms. Dr Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, member of the Executive Council and chairman of the Department of Community Development, said the new platform seeks to attract talents and boost competitiveness across all sectors. This, he said, will encourage startups and support research and development institutes in their efforts to attract talents and experts to Abu Dhabi, as well as serve their needs for training and development.
Dr Rauda Al Saadi, directorgeneral of the ADSSSA, said the initiative is in line with the Abu Dhabi Accelerators Development Programme ‘Ghadan 21’. She said the platform aims to increase opportunity for jobseekers and attract qualified nationals.
“The ADSSSA collaborates with key partners in the public and private sectors to bring access to job opportunities to a new level through digital transformation and benefit many with the use of innovative digital technologies through TAMM.”
Everything happens within the journey. You don’t have to carry the black bag with all your certificates and documents.”
