About Diversity and Inclusion

We screen all employers who wish to register on our website to ensure they meet our inclusion criteria. This includes accepting hijabi women in all roles and having no political ties.
Inclusion in the workplace creates an environment where everyone feels valued and respected, leading to higher employee satisfaction and productivity. Diversity in perspectives also fosters innovation and creativity, benefiting both employees and employers.
If you feel disrespected during the application process, we recommend reporting it to us immediately. We take all complaints seriously and will follow up with the employer in question to take appropriate action.
Employers can promote an inclusive work culture by embracing diversity and incorporating inclusion into their company values and practices. Candidates can contribute by being open to differences and actively participating in initiatives that support diversity and inclusion.
