The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, working with the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority, has closed around 200 social-media accounts that promoted unlicensed domestic-worker recruitment during the first half of 2026.
Authorities are asking households and employers to use approved recruitment offices and verify providers before transferring money or sharing identity documents. An unlicensed intermediary may leave the hirer and worker without the contractual protections and complaint channels attached to a lawful placement.
The enforcement action is also a warning for HR teams sourcing through social platforms: a polished profile is not evidence that an agency is authorised to operate.
고용주에게 미치는 영향
- Verify a provider's MoHRE licence before engaging or paying it.
- Do not share candidate identity documents through unverified social accounts.
- Keep an approved-supplier list for every recruitment category.
