Kazakhstan introduces Digital Employment Service

Kazakhstan is introducing a Digital Employment Service. Using artificial intelligence, it will select suitable job vacancies for Kazakh citizens. This is known as a proactive approach to employment. The AI will select personalized job offers based on citizens’ profiles, without limiting the search to their region of residence. Moreover, for those willing to move to another region, the digital system will also suggest relocation options. The list of vacancies will be compiled based on job offers from employers. Once suitable positions are identified, citizens will receive notifications through the eGov and Enbek.kz mobile applications or via text messages from the e-government contact center. The system will also offer specialized training and retraining courses. According to the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Population, AI will guide and support Kazakh citizens at every stage, all the way through to employment.

«The service was launched in the Pavlodar region in July. Since then, 39,000 text messages have been sent, and 962 people have found employment. The service is set to be introduced in the Mangystau region in September and expanded to all 20 regions of the country by year-end. A similar service will also be available through the Aitu mobile app,» noted Askarbek Yertayev, Kazakh Minister of Labour and Social Protection of the Population.
