Who We Are

About

In response to the increasing unemployment levels and decreasing recruitment opportunities for qualified professionals in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Work and Social Affairs has taken a proactive stance to allow private recruitment companies to dispatch and hire Afghan workers for labor in countries with a demand for workers. This decision has proved to be a game-changer for the private sector, and Since 2007, private recruitment companies in Afghanistan gained experience to provide better services to professionals. As a result, the Association of Private Recruitment Companies in Afghanistan (APRCA) was formed in 2010. The Association participated in a regional conference held on 02.03.2014 in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and received conference membership, which was highly appreciated by the Ministry of Work and Social Affairs, and Labor International organizations. The establishment of the APRCA has benefited both the private sector and the Afghan workers, and the Ministry of Work and Social Affairs and Labor international organizations commended its efforts.

The Association of Private Recruitment Companies in Afghanistan (APRCA) was established in 2010 to address the increasing unemployment levels and create opportunities for qualified Afghan professionals.

Since 2007, private recruitment companies in Afghanistan have gained valuable experience in providing professional services. APRCA brings together these companies under one roof to ensure ethical recruitment practices and protect the rights of both workers and employers.

We work closely with government agencies, international organizations, and private sector partners to create sustainable employment opportunities and promote professional standards in the recruitment industry.
