According to the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment, thousands of job vacancies for Pakistanis seeking employment overseas are available on its website.
An important facility has been made available for people seeking jobs abroad. Thousands of vacant positions are now accessible online with it. However, applicants are advised to verify job offers before travelling.
How to verify
Candidates can search for job opportunities in different countries and also verify their authenticity.
The bureau said that its website allows users to check the details and legal status of jobs offered by licensed recruiting agencies.
The Protector of Emigrants issues permission to recruitment agencies only after the employer’s documents are verified under the Emigration Rules 1979.
This verification is carried out through relevant authorities, including Pakistani embassies, the foreign ministry of the concerned country, or that country’s embassy in Pakistan.
Each recruitment permission is given a unique number, which must be mentioned in job advertisements.
