莫桑比克：雇佣外籍员工前现需提供职位空缺广告证明
Mozambique: Proof of Job Vacancy Advertisement Now Required Before Hiring Foreign Nationals
莫桑比克劳动部现要求所有行业的雇主——无论是否受配额限制——在雇佣外国员工前，必须证明没有合格的莫桑比克本国公民可胜任该职位。
为满足这一要求，雇主在申请长期工作许可之前，必须先填写职位空缺通知表，并提交至国家就业促进研究所（National Institute of Employment Promotion）。提交后需经过强制性的7天等待期，之后雇主还必须在莫桑比克广泛发行的报纸或在线平台上刊登招聘广告，再持续7天。在完成上述两个步骤并提供相应证明后，雇主方可继续申请长期工作许可，同时还需向劳动部提交报告，确认未找到符合条件的莫桑比克申请人。该要求的唯一豁免情形包括：招聘公司所有人、董事、法定代表人，或为鲁伍马盆地（Rovuma Basin）项目聘用人员。此前，职位空缺广告并非强制要求。
虽然该流程旨在提高透明度并确保莫桑比克公民在就业机会中享有优先权，但其很可能延长外国员工的招聘周期，并可能导致一些本可由当地人填补的职位难以招满。
The Ministry of Labor in Mozambique now requires employers, across all sectors and whether or not subject to a quota, to prove that no qualified Mozambican national is available before hiring a foreign national. To comply with this requirement, before applying for a long-term work permit, employers must first complete a job vacancy notification form and submit it to the National Institute of Employment Promotion (INEP). Following submission, a mandatory seven-day waiting period applies, after which employers are required to advertise the vacancy in a widely circulated Mozambican newspaper or on an online platform for another seven days. After employers show that proof of both steps was completed, they may then proceed with the long-term work permit application, along with a report to the Ministry of Labor confirming that no qualified Mozambican applicants were identified. The only exemption to this requirement is for the hiring of company owners, directors, and legal representatives, or for those individuals hired for Rovuma Basin projects. Previously, a job vacancy advertisement was not required.While the process aims to promote transparency and ensure Mozambican nationals receive priority in employment opportunities, it is likely to delay the hiring of foreign nationals and may make it more difficult to fill roles that could otherwise be filled by the local population.
