3. Click the “Validate” or “Check Status” button.
4. The system will confirm whether you are in good standing with your council.
5. If your status is confirmed, proceed to hr.moh.gov.gh to create your account and fill in the full application.

If your validation fails, contact your professional council immediately to resolve any outstanding issues (e.g., expired licence, unpaid dues, missing documentation) before reapplying. You cannot proceed without a successful verification.

Expert Tips to Avoid Rejection

With 13,000 positions and thousands of applicants, competition is high. Use these expert tips to make sure your application stands the best possible chance:

• Verify your PIN first. Never attempt to log in to the main portal before completing the PIN verification at verify.mohrecruitment.com.
• Apply early. Do not wait until the deadline. Portal traffic increases dramatically close to closing dates, causing slowdowns and potential submission failures.
• Double-check all entries. Incorrect personal details, wrong PIN numbers, or mismatched names can lead to outright rejection.
• Use a computer. While mobile devices work, a desktop or laptop is strongly recommended for a smooth, error-free submission experience.
• Scan documents clearly. Blurry, incomplete, or expired documents are a leading cause of rejection. Re-scan if necessary.
• Keep your login details safe. Do not share your account credentials with anyone.
• Follow official channels only. Do not pay anyone to apply on your behalf. The application is 100% free.
• Monitor your regional posting date. Log in around your region’s scheduled posting release date and check frequently postings can appear in batches.
• Resolve council issues before applying. If your PIN verification fails, fix it with your council before the application deadline. Late council renewals have caused many qualified candidates to miss out.
