General

The MKA Career Connect is a platform run by Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya's Department of Sanat-o-Tijarat (Industry & Trade) to connect Ahmadi professionals with career opportunities. Whether you're looking for a job, hiring for a position, or a community member who can offer a referral at your company, this board is designed to serve our community.

Yes, the job board is completely free for both job seekers and employers. There are no fees to browse jobs, post listings, or subscribe to alerts.

The job board is open to all members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. It's used by employers, hiring managers, and community members who work at companies with open positions and can provide a referral. The board is primarily aimed at connecting opportunities with Ahmadi youth and professionals.

For Job Seekers

From the Browse Jobs page, you can:
  • Search by keyword — type a job title, company name, or skill into the search bar
  • Filter by category — select from categories like IT, Healthcare, Engineering, etc.
  • Filter by job type — narrow results to Full-time, Part-time, Contract, or Internship
You can combine all three filters to find exactly what you're looking for.

Click on any job listing to view its full details. On the job detail page, you'll find one or both of:
  • Apply Now button — takes you directly to the employer's application page
  • Email Application button — click to reveal the application email address and send your resume

Tip: When emailing your application, include the job title in your subject line and attach your resume as a PDF.

Job alerts notify you by email whenever new jobs are posted in your categories of interest. To subscribe:
  1. Go to the Subscribe page

  • Look for referral postings — many listings are posted by community members who work at the company and can provide a referral, giving you an inside advantage.

No account is needed. You can browse and apply for jobs without creating an account. To subscribe to job alerts, you just need a valid email address.

For Community Referrers

A community referrer is a member of the Ahmadiyya community who works at a company with open positions and is willing to provide an internal referral for applicants. You don't need to be a hiring manager or recruiter — if your company is hiring and you can refer candidates, you can post the opportunity here.

Use the same Post a Job page as any other listing:
  1. Fill in the job details from your company's careers page or job description
  2. For the Application URL, you can link to your company's official job posting
  3. For the Application Email, use your own email so candidates can reach out to you for the referral
  4. Enter your name and email as the contact person

Tip: In the job description, mention that you can provide an internal referral. This helps candidates understand the value of applying through the board.

To help candidates put their best foot forward:
  • Job title and company name — exactly as listed on your company's careers page
  • Job description and requirements — copy from the official posting or summarize the key points
  • Location and work model — on-site, remote, or hybrid
  • Application link — link to your company's official application page so candidates can apply formally
  • Your contact info — so interested candidates can reach out to you for the referral
  • Mention the referral — add a note in the description like "I work at [Company] and can provide an internal referral for this position"

Sharing referral opportunities is a great way to serve the community:
  • Help fellow members — an internal referral significantly increases a candidate's chances of getting an interview
  • Strengthen the community — helping others find meaningful employment is a direct form of service
  • Referral bonuses — many companies offer referral bonuses when your referred candidate gets hired, so it can benefit you too
  • Build your network — connect with talented professionals in the community

For Employers & Hiring Managers

Posting a job is simple and takes just a few minutes:
  1. Go to the Post a Job page
  2. Fill in the job details: title, company, location, category, job type, description, and requirements
  3. Provide at least one application method (URL or email)
  4. Enter your contact name and email
  5. Submit the form and verify your email with the OTP code
  6. Your job will be reviewed by our admin team and published once approved

All job postings are reviewed by our admin team before going live. This ensures:
  • Listings are legitimate and appropriate for our community
  • Job details are complete and clearly written
  • The board maintains a high standard of quality
Approval typically happens within 24-48 hours. You'll receive an email notification once your job is approved and live on the board.

Job postings remain active for 30 days from the date of submission. After 30 days, the listing automatically expires and is removed from the public board. If you need to re-post a position, simply submit a new listing.

To attract the best candidates, make sure your listing includes:
  • Clear job title — use standard titles that candidates will search for (e.g., "Software Engineer" not "Code Ninja")
  • Detailed description — explain the role, responsibilities, and what a typical day looks like
  • Requirements — list must-have vs. nice-to-have qualifications separately
  • Salary range — listings with salary info get significantly more applications
  • Location details — specify if the role is remote, hybrid, or on-site (and where)
  • Company info — briefly describe your company and culture

You can provide an application URL, an application email, or both:
  • Application URL — best if you have an existing careers page or ATS (Applicant Tracking System). Candidates click "Apply Now" and are taken directly to your application form.
  • Application email — best for smaller teams or positions where you want candidates to email their resume directly. The email is protected from bots and only revealed when a user clicks the button.

Tip: Providing both options gives candidates flexibility and can increase your application rate.

Currently, edits and removals are handled by our admin team. If you need to update or take down a listing, please contact us at [email protected] with your job title and the change you'd like made.

Yes! When your job is approved, all subscribers who selected your job's category will be notified based on their chosen frequency (immediately, daily digest, or weekly roundup). This means your listing reaches interested candidates automatically.
