I have just had a similar experience on the same website. Applied for a construction management position & have been 'shortlisted' and my resume matched etc. Funnily enough I never even sent them my resume - only a covering letter! However, I am thinking about paying the $85 registration fee as it's not a huge amount of money if the jobs on the site are in fact live. They do have a lot of jobs advertised & the website seems legit.
I am however concerned that this may well be a fraudulent site so I'm reluctant to part with my cash until I have had at least some contact with an actual employer & not just a middleman. I understand that the legal issues around fraud in Qatar are far heavier than in the UK (which is where I currently live). On the e-mail I received the address that was given was in Canada but they also give the PO box number of a Qatari office so I would imagine that Qatari law should apply in this case (although I know zilch about law!).
So Saif, did you have any joy on the website or did you decide to keep your money?
