⚠️ Important Legal & Ethical Disclaimer
The requirement for "Only male candidates" is highly problematic and likely illegal under UAE Federal Labour Law and international standards, which prohibit discrimination based on gender unless it is a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ).
For a Storekeeper role, it is very difficult to justify this as a BFOQ. Potential legal and reputational risks include:
- Legal Action: Candidates can file a discrimination complaint with the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
- Fines and Penalties: Companies can face significant fines for discriminatory hiring practices.
- Reputational Damage: It harms your company's image as a fair and modern employer.
Strongly Recommended Alternative:
To attract the right candidates while complying with the law, you can specify the working conditions that might be challenging, which will naturally inform candidates' decisions.
Suggested Rewrite for the "Requirements" Section:
"Requirements:
- Physical Demands: This role requires the physical ability to lift, carry, and move heavy construction materials and equipment in a demanding outdoor site environment.
- Work Environment: The position is based on a live construction site in Abu Dhabi. Candidates must be prepared to work in this setting.
- Education & Experience: High school diploma or equivalent. Experience in construction storekeeping is preferred, but motivated freshers are welcome to apply.
