A record 3,685 Bahrainis have recently been hired, including 32 people of determination, acting Labour Minister and Legal Affairs Minister Yousif Khalaf announced yesterday.
He urged sceptics to verify the figures for themselves, stressing that ‘nothing is fabricated’, contrary to claims being made in this regard.
The minister also revealed that job interview procedures have been overhauled with an aim to resolve disputes between applicants and employers.
Speaking during Parliament’s weekly session yesterday, the minister said the Labour Ministry has scrapped the submission of ‘interview results’ – a system that frequently led to conflicting accounts between applicants and employers – and replaced it with a simpler, fully documented, attendance-based process.
