Hiring in Saudi Arabia: What Employers Should Know
Saudization and Nitaqat
Every employer in the Kingdom operates under a Saudization quota band determined by sector and company size. We factor your Nitaqat position into the brief from the outset, so a shortlist doesn’t put your banding at risk.
Saudi national recruitment first
Where a role can be filled by a Saudi national, that’s the faster and more compliant route. We source Saudi candidates before proposing expatriate hires.
Expatriate hiring
For roles requiring international candidates, we source across 36+ countries, verify credentials and attest qualifications, and prepare the candidate documentation your visa and iqama process requires. The block visa, work visa and iqama sponsorship are held by you as the employing company.
Credential attestation
Degree and professional certificates require attestation for Saudi employment. We manage candidate-side attestation so it doesn’t delay mobilisation.
Mobilisation
Medical fitness, police clearance, travel and pre-departure coordination are handled before a candidate arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recruitment agencies charge employers, not candidates. Alliance never charges candidates any fee. Employer fees depend on the role, its seniority and the engagement (permanent placement or contract staffing), and are agreed in writing before the search starts. Every permanent placement is covered by a 90-day replacement guarantee.
No. Alliance never accepts payment from candidates. Any request for money made in our name is fraudulent, see our no-fee policy.
Permanent placements carry a 90-day replacement guarantee. If a placed candidate leaves within 90 days, we replace them at no additional fee.
We recruit for oil and gas, petrochemicals, construction and infrastructure, industrial and manufacturing, logistics and supply chain, and corporate support functions across the Eastern Province. Typical roles include process, mechanical and instrumentation engineers for Jubail, HSE and operations staff for oilfield services, site engineers and QA/QC for construction, and port, warehouse and procurement roles in Dammam.
Both. We source Saudi candidates first, in line with Saudization requirements, and recruit internationally across 36+ countries where a role cannot be filled locally.
Yes. Our Eastern Province coverage includes Dammam, Al Khobar, Dhahran, Jubail Industrial City and Ras Tanura, alongside Riyadh and Jeddah.
For most roles we share a shortlist of screened candidates within 24–48 hours of an agreed brief; senior and executive searches take 10–21 days. Candidates already working in the Kingdom can usually start sooner, because expatriate placements add visa, attestation, medical and mobilisation steps, and we set out a realistic schedule for your role at the brief.
