The platform, developed in collaboration with Google, brings together employers, recruitment agencies, and domestic workers, streamlining the recruitment and employment process from initial application to the worker's arrival and official employment contract signing. Hamad Faraj Dalmouk, Assistant Undersecretary for Migrant Labour Affairs at the Ministry of Labour, emphasized the platform's contribution to the Third National Development Strategy and the National Workforce Development Strategy 2024-2030, promoting a fair and transparent labour market. Moawen is designed to balance rights and obligations, providing a secure service experience that strengthens competitiveness and governance. For employers, it offers various recruitment options and access to reliable information, while the smart rating system based on employer experiences helps assess recruitment agencies. The platform covers the entire recruitment process, from contract signing to worker arrival, enabling real-time monitoring and decision-making. Future phases will expand access for domestic workers and integrate with government systems for enhanced verification and processing. Moawen is the official and only approved digital platform for electronic domestic worker recruitment services.",
