How a Saudi mandate runs
The sourcing, testing and verification steps run exactly as they do for our UAE mandates; the destination-country steps are handled with your KSA entity.
- Brief, grade and headcount planning against your programme
- Sourcing and practical testing in the source country
- Client interviews in person or by video
- Document and certificate verification, source medicals
- Visa and mobilisation coordination with your Saudi entity or PRO
Saudisation and local rules
Saudi hiring is shaped by Nitaqat/Saudisation quotas, professional accreditation and destination-country visa rules. We plan the expatriate portion of a workforce around the ratios your entity must maintain, and recommend confirming current requirements with your local PRO or legal adviser before committing to a schedule.
