The Qatar Domestic Services Portal is a platform for recruiting and managing domestic-services staff in Qatar. It connects families and employers seeking domestic workers with the recruitment process that brings those workers in, and helps agencies manage candidates, documentation and placements in one place. It is tailored to the domestic-services context in Qatar.
The business problem
Hiring domestic workers involves careful coordination of candidate details, documentation, approvals and placement, often across borders. When this is handled through informal channels and paperwork, it becomes slow, hard to track and stressful for everyone involved.
- Employers lack a clear, organised way to find suitable domestic staff.
- Candidate profiles and documents are difficult to manage at volume.
- Placement and documentation steps are tracked manually.
How Qatar Domestic Services Portal helps
The portal gives agencies a structured system to manage domestic-services recruitment from candidate intake through placement. Employers can review available candidates, agencies can organise profiles and documentation, and the process stays visible and trackable rather than scattered across paperwork and messages.
Main features
- Candidate profiles — Maintain domestic-worker profiles with skills, experience and availability.
- Employer requests — Capture what families and employers are looking for.
- Document management — Store and organise passports, visas and related paperwork per candidate.
- Placement tracking — Track candidates through selection, documentation and placement.
- Search & shortlisting — Filter candidates by role, skills and availability.
- Status visibility — Follow where each candidate and request stands in the process.
- Agency dashboards — Give staff a consolidated view of candidates and placements.
AI capabilities
The portal is designed to support AI-assisted matching that suggests suitable candidates for an employer’s request based on stated criteria. These are designed as suggestions for agency staff to review, with people making the final placement decisions. AI-assisted features are planned and available depending on configuration.
