Qatar: Qatarisation Developments - Aligning Talent with Market Needs via Kawader

Efforts to increase the participation of Qatari nationals in the workforce continue to advance, supported by targeted digital initiatives. Central to this is ‘Kawader’, an employment platform that supports increased participation of national talent in the workforce by aligning candidates with evolving labor market needs, while enhancing transparency and efficiency in recruitment processes.   

The “Kawader” platform enables private and public sector companies to post vacancies and connect with qualified Qatari nationals and children of Qatari women through a centralized database of verified candidate profiles, including qualifications and work experience. The platform also supports organizations in tracking Qatarization progress and aligning with national workforce policies. By centralizing hiring activities, the Kawader platform promotes greater consistency and transparency in recruitment processes, benefiting both employers and job seekers. Employers should ensure their recruitment practices and internal processes are structured to accommodate centralized hiring mechanisms and ensure that Qatar’s citizens are actively integrated into the economy.
