Bangladesh government officials have produced a website, or a job portal, that is intended to help migrant employees by connecting individuals to licensed recruitment agencies. Evidently, there are “unofficial middlemen” who impose high fees on migrant workers, and otherwise abuse them as they attempt to gain employment. The job portal is intended to eliminate the need/ use of middlemen in order to combat these abuses faced by vulnerable migrant laborers. Additionally, on the job portal, workers will be able to identify jobs that best match their skills- which will aid employers in acquiring employees who have desirable skills.
