The feature, developed jointly by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, and the General Organisation for Social Insurance, integrates official endorsements of educational qualifications and work experience directly into users’ CVs. This development aligns with Vision 2030’s commitment to empowering local talent and advancing digital services.
Accessible through the Tawakkalna interface, users begin by logging in, navigating to Services > Profession Services, and selecting “My Resume” to start crafting their CV. The tool supports the inclusion of professional certifications, training courses, languages, and publications in addition to official credentials, bolstering the depth and credibility of users’ professional profiles.
This enhancements streamline job search processes for users, allowing them to present a standardised, reliably verified profile to employers. Observers note that moving credential verification into a digital platform not only accelerates recruiting workflows but also reduces fraudulent claims of qualifications.
Analysis of broader app developments shows Tawakkalna’s evolution from a COVID-19 tracking and permitting tool into an all-encompassing national digital platform. Since its creation by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the application has gradually incorporated hundreds of services—from education and social services to personal documentation and public compliance functions.
The “My Resume” tool follows other professional services introduced this year, such as the Engineering Experts Inquiry service, which allows users to search for registered engineering professionals via the app. These additions underscore a strategic shift towards facilitating career and professional development through government-backed digital solutions.
Officials emphasise that by embedding official endorsements into user-generated CVs, the app bridges verification gaps and adheres to stringent authenticity standards. The coordinated involvement of multiple ministries and GOSI reinforces cross-institutional credibility, providing a rare level of trust in digital documentation.
Beyond the technical improvements, the tool addresses pressing challenges in the Saudi labour market—rapid employment transitions, youth unemployment, and the need for efficient hiring tools. Analysts anticipate employer uptake will increase as the practice of submitting digital, government-vetted resumes gains acceptance.
Equally significant is the service’s inclusivity. Users across the Kingdom, including those lacking access to busy vocational counsellors or private résumé-writing services, can now produce professional documents at no additional cost. Feedback suggests that participants appreciate the ease, formality, and official nature of the digital CVs.
The interface’s transparency—clearly guiding users through authenticated inputs—also mitigates risk of misrepresentation. By collecting structured entries such as certified training sessions, published works and formal qualifications, the tool fosters consistency across applicants and simplifies screening processes for recruiters.
With Vision 2030 placing emphasis on human capital and digital transformation, such innovations reflect a broader policy priority: harnessing technology to elevate national skills and drive economic diversification. The app’s growing portfolio of services now spans emergency permits, health tracking, education, employment facilitation, and professional networking tools embedded in a single digital ecosystem.
Tawakkalna’s “My Resume” exemplifies how public-private coordination can yield user-centric, efficiency-driven services that benefit both individuals and employers. As digital credentials gain traction globally, this initiative positions the Kingdom at the forefront of leveraging trusted e-government platforms to support career mobility and skills verification.
With the ability to authenticate and package career histories at the touch of a button, job-seekers gain a potent advantage—and the scanning of professional talent becomes more coherent for institutions seeking capable, verifiable candidates.
