طلب التوظيف للوظيفة الشاغرة جاهز.

Here it is a noun, meaning application or request.

Without vowel marks, طلب can also be read as the past-tense verb ṭalaba = he requested. But in this sentence, the structure shows that it must be the noun ṭalab. The sentence is describing something as ready, so طلب is the thing being described.

It is a nominal sentence in Arabic.

A simple way to break it down is:

• طلب التوظيف = the employment application
• للوظيفة الشاغرة = for the vacant position
• جاهز = ready

So the sentence has:

• a subject/topic: طلب التوظيف
• an attached prepositional phrase: للوظيفة الشاغرة
• a predicate: جاهز

In traditional grammar terms, طلب التوظيف is the مبتدأ, and جاهز is the خبر.

Because in Arabic, the verb to be is usually not expressed in the present tense.

So:

• طلب التوظيف ... جاهز literally looks like
• the employment application ... ready

but it means:

• The employment application ... is ready

If you wanted the past tense, Arabic would normally use a verb such as كان.

It is an iḍāfa phrase, also called a construct phrase.

That means two nouns are joined together:

• طلب = application/request
• التوظيف = employment/hiring

Literally, it is something like application of employment, but natural English renders it as employment application or job application.

This pattern is very common in Arabic.

Because in an iḍāfa, the first noun usually does not take الـ.

Instead, definiteness is often determined by the second noun. Since التوظيف is definite, the whole phrase طلب التوظيف can be understood as definite.

So Arabic says:

• طلب التوظيف

not:

• الطلب التوظيف

That second version would be incorrect as an iḍāfa.

It is a prepositional phrase meaning for the vacant position.

It is made of:

• لِـ = for / to
• الوظيفة = the job / the position
• الشاغرة = vacant / open

So للوظيفة الشاغرة gives extra information about which application is meant.

Also, لِـ + الـ combine in writing to become للـ. That is why you see للوظيفة.

Because it is an adjective describing الوظيفة, and Arabic adjectives must agree with the noun they describe.

وظيفة is:

• feminine
• singular
• definite

So the adjective must match it:

• الوظيفة الشاغرة

If the noun were masculine, the adjective would also be masculine.

Because جاهز refers to طلب, not to الوظيفة.

The thing that is ready is the application, and طلب is a masculine singular noun. So the predicate comes in the masculine singular form:

• طلب ... جاهز

If the subject were a feminine noun such as الاستمارة, then you would say:

• الاستمارة جاهزة

They are related, but they do not mean the same thing.

• التوظيف = employment / hiring
• الوظيفة = job / position / post

So:

• طلب التوظيف = employment application
• الوظيفة الشاغرة = the vacant position

This sentence uses both words because one refers to the application process, and the other refers to the job itself.

With full case endings, it would be pronounced approximately as:

ṭalabu t-tawẓīfi lil-waẓīfati sh-shāghirati jāhizun

A few useful notes:

• التوظيف is written with الـ, but because ت is a sun letter, it is pronounced at-tawẓīf
• الوظيفة begins with و, which is a moon letter, so it stays al-waẓīfa
• الشاغرة begins with ش, a sun letter, so it is pronounced ash-shāghira

In normal pausal pronunciation, learners often hear something closer to:

ṭalab at-tawẓīf lil-waẓīfa ash-shāghira jāhiz

Yes, that can be said, but it is slightly different in nuance.

• طلب التوظيف is a more formal expression for an employment application
• طلب الوظيفة is more directly request/application for the job

So the original sentence sounds more bureaucratic or administrative, which fits forms and official contexts well.

Because it is describing the definite noun الوظيفة.

In Arabic, when a noun is definite, its adjective must also be definite. So you get:

• الوظيفة الشاغرة = the vacant position

If the noun were indefinite, the adjective would also be indefinite:

• وظيفة شاغرة = a vacant position
