Finding a job in Saudi as expat

Post new topic

rachelkm22

I found this article from 2022 about Saudization from this website and what jobs foreigners/expats would not be able to hold a job:

Questions:

1) Is the article information still accurate for 2024?

2) Does anyone have any recruiting companies in Saudi (or not in Saudi) which will help expats find a job Saudi?


Thanks!

1) More professions have been added - nothing has been removed

2) It is a very broad question.   Depends on the field you want to go in and the experience that you have.  Also recruitment companies work for the employer and not the candidate.  If there is a match in requirements then they try to place you.........not otherwise

1) Do you happen to know which professions have been added?


2) IT experience

1) Too many to list

2)  Unless you are in a specialized field with at least 7+ years of experience, it would be very difficult
