MAWbiz: The First Ethical Job Portal in Bangladesh

The online marketplace for employment, often referred as a job search engine is on the rise and the go-to place for job seekers all around the world. The preference to look for jobs online is understandable due to its convenience and job seekers in Bangladesh are not lagging far behind to get on this bandwagon. Along with LinkedIn and Facebook, there are several local job search websites that are very popular among both employers and job seekers. However, compared to the existing job sites, MAWbiz.com.bd presents an ethical job portal which is the first of its kind and unique in terms of its value propositions.

MAWbiz defines a job as ethical and publishes that on the website when it a) doesn’t exhibit any labour exploitation, b) doesn’t offer wage significantly lower than industry average, c) doesn’t cause any direct disruption to environmental sustainability and d) doesn’t jeopardise community harmony. More so, they highlight jobs for people with disabilities, pro bono (volunteer work) and jobs in social business and non-profit sectors. To offer the job seekers an insight on the average market salary for an advertised job, MAWbiz provides a salary guide which is carefully curated researching the remunerations offered at different companies in a certain industry. The focus of MAWbiz in creating such an ethical job portal lines up with their broader strategic objective of promoting sustainable branding, social advancement and community empowerment. The Managing Director of the project, Dr. M. R. Maxim mentioned that in recognition of their commitment to social and community growth, MAWbiz has recently received the Global Green Business Award of 2021, placed forward by Acquisition International, a UK based B2B publishing house.

The job portal offers users to search for jobs based on organization type which is categorized between jobs in the government, private sector, NGO, MNC, Financial institution and others. A user can also search for jobs based on when it was posted. Along with that, job category is also presented based on the area of expertise such as accounting, IT etc. The final categorization to segregate the jobs is based on the location of the job in different divisions such as Dhaka, Khulna etc. The main listing page also provides the option to signup for daily newsletter and a list of CV templates that users can download.

In the details page of a job, all key information such as location of the job, number of vacancies, salary range, preferred age, employment type, application deadline etc are summarised in one place for the ease of the users. The MAWbiz salary guide which is created to provide an average monthly salary and other benefits of an advertised job is also presented in the job details page. In addition MAWbiz operates an eLearning platform that promotes different online skill building sessions. Relevant elearning sessions and relevant other jobs are presented at the bottom of the details page to make it convenient for the users to browse related contents.
