Part of this process involves meeting specific advertisement requirements to demonstrate efforts to recruit local talent before considering foreign candidates. This comprehensive guide details the steps and criteria employers must follow to ensure compliance, including the duration and platforms for job postings, the necessary details to include in advertisements, and special requirements for certain positions.
