Hiring in Saudi Arabia

The second-largest nation and strongest economy in the Arab World, Saudi Arabia is known to us for its vast oil reserves, its strict but intriguing culture and recent penchant for investing in international organisations, football clubs, and even entire nations. Saudi Arabia has emerged from a low-income, low-development nation into a global player in little over 60 years.

Saudi Arabia’s economy is classed as an ‘energy superpower’, with the world’s second largest reserves of petroleum reserves and it is the largest exporter of petroleum. Indeed, hydrocarbons have created Saudi Arabia’s wealth, and driven its economy for the best part of a century.

A strictly Islamic nation with limited women’s rights and employment laws, Saudi Arabia’s relationships with the West have slowly begun to loosen tight economic controls and now international organisations have a much easier experience when it comes to hiring in Saudi Arabia.

Working conditions are heavily in favour of Saudis and Western expats, and economic migrants from other Asian nations suffer payment parity issues and poor conditions. Investing in Saudi Arabia requires an experienced payroll partner to navigate both culture and complex tax and legal hurdles.
