Online employment application launched

Civil Service Bureau (CSB) President Ahmed Al Zayed and Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) Chief Executive Officer Mohammed Ali AlQaed yesterday inaugurated the “employment application” service package. The implementation of the scheme will begin today through the national portal (Bahrain.bh).

The new service reflects the government’s keenness represented by the Civil Service Bureau and the Information and e-Government Authority in the development of government services provided to the citizens. The CSB Chief said the “Employment Application” service package will prove out to be time efficient for applicants.

The time needed for the submission of applicants will be reduced to seven minutes compared to at least 35 minutes needed to visit the Job Information Unit at the CSB. He said that the launch of the new eServices package will contribute to dispensing of paperwork, adding that the Job Information Unit in the Civil Service Bureau, which used to receive the applications manually, will be closed by the end of July, and that the applications will be received in full electronic form thereafter.

“The e-service was developed in line with the CSB strategic plan to improve government performance according to best practices, and to attract national cadres and create a competitive work environment to achieve the vision of the Kingdom and promote its sustainable development,” he said.
