If you\u2019re looking to recruit<\/a> in Saudi Arabia, you\u2019ll likely be aiming to attract as many job seekers as possible. While candidates living in Saudi will be aware of the benefits of living and working in the country, it\u2019s crucial to emphasise these to international candidates. If you\u2019re working with a great PA recruitment<\/a> agency in Saudi Arabia already, they will probably be making their candidates aware of these themselves. However, if you\u2019re undertaking the hiring directly, consider what will attract candidates to the country and make sure you highlight these benefits in the hiring process!<\/p>\n

Business is booming <\/strong><\/h4>\n

While Dubai is the city that usually springs to mind when considering business centres in the region, we believe that Saudi Arabia will be a serious contender in 2020. We\u2019ve seen an increase in business activity in the country, which in turn provides a perfect opportunity for international candidates\u2019 future prospects and earning potential. When interviewing, emphasise any possibilities for progression and salary increases, as this will attract those who are looking to settle in the area on a long-term basis.<\/p>\n

Laws are relaxing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

International talent may be hesitant to move into the country as some consider former laws to be more conservative. This is now changing. For example, foreign women no longer need to wear abayas, which may make these candidates from overseas more comfortable. The Saudi government will continue to relax other laws in 2020 to appeal to foreigners, like the ability for unmarried couples to stay in hotels and the introduction of mixed-gender concerts.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

Strong expat community<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If your hire is moving from overseas, it\u2019s worth mentioning the growing expat community in Riyadh \u2013 it\u2019s arguably bigger than in Dubai! Therefore, someone moving to the city may find it easier to develop their social networks in Riyadh compared to other cities in the region. Building a social life will help your employees to develop that all-important support from outside their business and thrive in their new environment.<\/p>\n

Salary packages<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re one of the many employers looking to hire international candidates, make sure the salary is clearly communicated on the job specification, job ads and throughout the interview process. \u00a0Whether you\u2019re offering a competitive salary in conjunction with benefits like flight allowances, or you\u2019re throwing in additional training once they\u2019re in the role, these perks will all help to make the role more attractive to those moving from overseas.<\/p>\n
