Jobs in Saudi
Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the GCC, driven by Vision 2030's mega-projects including NEOM, The Red Sea Project, Qiddiya and the expansion of religious tourism in Mecca and Medina. Hiring is currently at a 10-year high across construction, hospitality, healthcare and technology — over 1.2 million expats are employed in the Kingdom. Most international hires are made through Saudi-licensed recruitment agencies or directly through company portals, with the employer sponsoring your iqama (residency permit).
