FAQs

Q1. How do I apply?

A. Please use the Job Search tool to identify jobs that are of interest to you. You can use the search fields to narrow down the list of available vacancies based on your preferences. From the search results screen, click on the title of a vacancy you wish to apply for. This will give you the full details of the role as well as the option to apply. You can apply for the vacancy by simply registering your details and CV on the Progressive Workers Worldwide website. This only takes a few minutes and only needs to be done once in order to apply for jobs through the site.

Q2. How will I know if you have received my CV?

A. If you apply for a vacancy through our website, you will receive an on-screen confirmation at the time of submission, as well as an automatic email confirmation.

Q3. Should I follow up with you regarding my application?

A. No. If you are shortlisted for the position you have applied for, you will be contacted by one of Progressive Workers Worldwide Consultants or Interviewers. If you don't receive a response from us within 5 working days of sending us your CV, this will indicate that you were not shortlisted for the job you applied for.

Q4. What happens to my application if I am not shortlisted for the job I applied for?

A. If you are not shortlisted for the vacancy you applied for, your details will be retained on our website for future reference. Your CV and details will be fully searchable by our consultants, which means you may be contacted regarding other roles that might be of interest to you.

Q5. If I have previously applied for a position but not received any response from you, can I apply for other positions advertised on your website?

A. Yes, please follow the procedure given in Question 1, above.

Q6. If you put my CV forward to your client, am I guaranteed an interview?

A. No. We put forward to our clients the CVs of candidates who most closely match the Job Description given to us by them. Our Client makes the final decision as to which candidates they wish to interview. This can take several days, and in some cases longer. If you have not heard from us within 10 working days, you may assume that our Client has not shortlisted you for an interview. If you are shortlisted by a client for an interview we will contact you to make the arrangements.

Q7. How do I set up Job Alerts?

Once you have registered your details on the Progressive Workers Worldwide website, you can set up Job Alerts and access all other functions from the main Candidate Menu.

Q8. If I am interviewed by your Client, how and when will I know the outcome?

A. It often takes time for our Client to give us feedback. This is beyond our control. However, please be assured that we will give you feedback as soon as we receive information from our Client. Please do not follow up directly with our Client, as this could jeopardise your application. All communication must be made through Progressive Workers Worldwide.

Q9. Do Progressive Workers Worldwide charge any fees for application, or if they place me in a job?

A. No. We do not charge any fees to candidates. Our Clients pay for services rendered by us. It is illegal in the UAE for any recruitment firm to charge fees from applicants. If any firm does ask you for payment to process your job application, please report this to the UAE Ministry of Labour.

Q10. Do Progressive Workers Worldwide actively look for employment for me?

A. No. As Recruitment Consultants we are appointed by our clients to identify and introduce candidates who most closely match their requirements and therefore we are proactive on their behalf.

Q11. Are all the jobs advertised in your web pages still vacant?

A. Yes. We update the website on a weekly basis.

Q12. What happens if I deactivate or delete my profile?

If you deactivate or delete your profile, your CV and registration details will be deactivated/deleted accordingly from our website and online application system and will not come up on any searches of this system by our consultants. However, please note that your details may have been duplicated on some of our other recruitment databases. If you wish for your details to also be deactivated or deleted in these locations as well, please email us on recruit@bacme.com with the email subject line ‘Deactivation Request’ or 'Deletion Request' as applicable. For identification and verification purposes, please submit the email from the account specified on your CV and include your name and date of birth.
