To ensure that a job offer is genuine, candidates should confirm that the offer letter adheres to the format prescribed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE). This includes ensuring that the terms outlined in the offer are reflected in the employment contract.
Employers must submit a signed offer letter when applying for a work permit, and candidates can verify the authenticity of the offer by contacting MoHRE.
If necessary, candidates may request that their employers issue the offer letter in the prescribed format.
In cases where an offer is rescinded before an employment contract is signed, candidates may face challenges in filing complaints with MoHRE. Legal advice from MoHRE or legal practitioners in the UAE is recommended for further assistance.
For those needing additional verification, contacting the UAE Embassy in the UK may also provide support in confirming the legitimacy of job offers.
