Frequently Asked Questions

For jobseekers

Does it cost anything to apply?

No. Searching, creating a profile and applying are free, and always will be.

Do I need an account to apply?

Yes. Register as a candidate so employers receive your profile and CV with your application, and so you can track what you have applied to.

Why is my account not active yet?

New accounts are reviewed by our team before activation. This keeps fraudulent accounts off the platform. It usually takes less than one business day.

Can I apply from outside the Gulf?

Yes. Many listings are open to candidates relocating. Check the listing for visa or residency requirements.

What happens after I apply?

Your application goes to the employer that posted the role. They contact candidates directly. We cannot influence or chase a decision on your behalf.

Why can I no longer find a job I saw?

Listings disappear from search once their closing date passes. If you reached it from a saved link you may still see it marked as expired.

How do I update my CV?

Edit your candidate profile. Employers see the version attached at the time you applied, so updating it does not change applications already sent.

For employers

How do I post a vacancy?

Create an employer account, complete your company profile, then publish your role. Our employers page walks through it.

How long does a listing stay up?

Until the closing date you set. After that it is hidden from search automatically, so candidates are not applying to roles that have closed.

Can I edit a listing after publishing?

Yes, from your dashboard. Changes appear immediately.

Where do applications arrive?

In your employer dashboard, with the candidate's profile and CV attached.

Safety

Will anyone ask me to pay for a job?

No legitimate employer on this platform will ask you to pay for a job, a visa, training or a placement. If someone does, stop and report it.

How do I report a suspicious listing?

Email support@gulfjobsquare.com with the job title and page URL. We investigate and remove listings that breach our terms.

What do you do with my personal data?

Our privacy policy sets out what we collect, who sees it and how to have it deleted.
