Creating a Saudization plan will help organisations plan for the future. They should look at their recruitment strategy to determine whether they should they hire more Saudi nationals to reach the quota or wait and replace expatriates with Saudi nationals when their visas expire; or downsize the organisation, increase Saudi recruitment and outsource non-core business activities.

There are many options available for any company size and the government have developed tools such as TAQAT, the online portal that allows companies to find and hire suitable Saudi nationals. It allows companies to search through a range of candidates who may be suitable for the job and hire the best one. Or, companies can outsource their recruitment to an outsourcing provider who will find the best local talent for your company’s needs.

Many companies struggle with Saudization but it doesn’t have to be this way, with research, preparation and our help companies can reach their Saudization quotas and remain compliant.
