Finding a job in Kuwait should not depend on who you know or how much you can pay a middleman. Every day, thousands of people — drivers, housemaids, sales staff, cleaners, IT technicians, teachers, and nurses — search for honest work across Kuwait City, Salmiya, Hawally, Farwaniya, Ahmadi, and Jahra. Too often they run into the same obstacles: fake listings, agents demanding advance fees, and outdated posts that waste their time and raise false hope.

This petition calls on employers, recruitment offices, and community platforms to commit to a simple standard: every job advertisement aimed at workers in Kuwait should be free to view, clearly describe the role and salary, and come from a verifiable source.

Why this matters

Kuwait's workforce includes large numbers of expatriate workers who keep the country running — in homes, restaurants, construction sites, hospitals, and offices. Many arrive with limited savings and cannot afford to lose money to recruitment scams. A single fake offer can cost a family its savings and months of lost time, and in the worst cases it can lead to visa problems that are difficult to undo.

Free and transparent listings protect the most vulnerable job seekers first. When a driver from Kerala, a housemaid from the Philippines, or a salesman from Egypt can browse real openings without paying anyone, the whole labor market becomes fairer and more efficient for employers too, because genuine candidates are easier to find.

What we are asking for

1. Employers and agencies should publish complete job details: job title, location, working hours, salary range, and visa type.
2. No worker should ever be asked to pay a fee to view a job listing or to apply for one.
3. Listings should be removed or marked as filled once the position is closed, so seekers do not chase dead ends.
4. Community job boards should verify the identity of advertisers before their posts go live.

Protect yourself while searching

While we push for change, protect yourself: never pay an agent before you have a signed offer, always meet employers in public places for interviews, keep copies of your civil ID and passport in a safe place, and check a company's commercial license when something feels wrong. Genuine employers in Kuwait never ask for payment to hire you.
