Ami Probashi operates an advanced recruitment management system that links millions of aspiring migrant workers with potential employers.
Through the platform and app, users can be easily selected, interviewed online, and directly communicated with.
The app hosts a diverse pool of skilled migrants seeking legitimate job opportunities while avoiding the high costs often associated with middlemen in the recruitment process.
Stakeholders have long called for a database and recruitment system to streamline the migration process, reduce fraud, and lower costs.
Currently, many Bangladeshi migrant workers incur high expenses for low-wage jobs abroad due to bureaucratic hurdles, middlemen, and recruiting agencies.
Launched in mid-2020, the Ami Probashi app seeks to address these challenges by providing innovative technological solutions in partnership with the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment and the BMET.
