Who can apply, and what we look for.
Kawkab Jobs is open to professionals across MENA at every career stage. Here's exactly what to bring.
Right to work in MENA (or remote-eligible)
Most roles are based in MENA or are remote-friendly for MENA-based candidates. We also support global remote roles for select companies — work authorization is handled with the hiring company.
Working English (Arabic is a plus)
You can communicate clearly in English. Many roles also value Arabic fluency — we mark this on each listing.
Demonstrable experience for the role
A CV alone is not enough. Shipped products, GitHub commits, design files, case studies, writing samples, or anything that shows you can do the work makes a real difference in matching.
Relevant qualifications or equivalent experience
A degree helps but is not required for most roles. If you have the experience — through past employment, freelance work, or substantial side projects — we will match you on capability, not credentials.
Commitment to your start date
Companies expect you to honor the offers you accept. If your timing changes mid-process, tell us early so we can re-sequence interviews — we never penalize honest communication.
Professional references
Two references — past managers, colleagues, or clients — that we can contact during the offer stage. We never contact references without your explicit permission.
Not sure if you qualify?
Start your profile anyway. Our team reviews edge cases manually and the matching engine considers more than just credentials and country. Many of our most successful candidates came from non-traditional backgrounds.
