Life in Saudi Arabia’s Post

Job Seekers in KSA Deserve Transparency – It’s Time for Change! Is This a Common Scenario? You see a job posting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You polish your CV, send it with confidence, and wait... and wait. Days turn into weeks. No response. Finally, you call the HR contact, and the answer you get is shocking: "What job? Oh, that one. It's already filled." How many of you have faced this frustrating experience? Where Is the Professionalism? It's not about rejection – it's about communication and respect. Job seekers invest time, effort, and hope into every application. The least they deserve is an acknowledgment or update. Hiring managers, if the role is filled, close the loop. If there’s a delay, be transparent about it. A Simple Solution: Why not follow up with job seekers? A quick message saying: "Thank you for applying. The position has been filled." This small step shows professionalism and builds trust for future opportunities. Let’s Talk About It: Is it time to hold hiring teams to higher standards in KSA? Let’s start a discussion.

عزيزي مدير التوظيف، قبل ما تحددوا مقابلة مع المرشح، ما في ضرر إنكن تحطوا تفاصيل أكتر بالإعلان عن الوظيفة. المرشح عندو وقت ثمين، وصعب عليه يترك شغلو الحالي ليجي يشوفكن، وفي منهم بيتأملوا يحصلوا على الشغل بعد المقابلة. لهيك، الشفافية بإعلانات الوظايف بتعتبر من المهنية بالشغل. Your current salary is too High - Rejected You are over 35 - Rejected You have No Experience - Rejected Your Experience is too much - Rejected Your Notice period is two months. We are looking for immediate hiring, we cannot hire you - Rejected DEAR HIRING MANAGER, Before setting up an interview with the candidate,there is no harm in you mentioning more details in the advertisement. The candidate has valuable time and he finds it difficult to leave his current job to meet you, and some of them grow in hope for a job after the interview. Therefore, transparency in job advertisements is considered professionalism at work. #jobs #candidates #hiring #process #recruitment #HR #managers

If you want to land a job in Dubai, AD, or Riyadh… This post is a MUST read. Getting your next role in the UAE/KSA doesn’t need to be an impossible task. & people often become frustrated with the search. Here are 5 things that I wish everyone knew - 1: just because an ATS checker says your CV is 94%, it doesn’t mean it’s actually going to work. 2: adjusting your CV for every role is a huge waste of time, and will often work against you. 3: relocating to the UAE before you’ve landed a role is a bad idea, except in very niche situations. 4: having a one-foot-in, one-foot-out approach to the job search will lead to sub par results. 5: building momentum is critical, 1 week on followed by 1 week off will cause you to lose traction. If you’re searching for your next job in the region, keep these points in mind. I’ll be announcing a last minute prep virtual live session on Monday for everyone who’s going to be searching for their next role in Q1. Remember, your job search should take 2-4 weeks. Ps, hit like if you’ll be joining the session ✅

Working with a recruitment consultant isn’t always ‘Please send me 3 CV’s that fit the job description we have provided’ and let me give you an example… I beat the drum about not having X CV’s queuing up at my door (sometimes) looking for opportunities and that’s because it’s not how all clients utilise our network A leader of a global organisation, a lady at the ‘top of her game’ called me yesterday She doesn’t have a whole heap of time on her hands, ever, and that's absolutely fine The conversation went like this: ‘Josh, I always seem to call you out of the blue, but I know that I can and you will know someone I need to speak with’ I need a Director for Saudi asap; and really they need to start within a month No problems, leave it with me for a few hours and I will rack my brain… 3 hours later, this lady had 3 names I had thought of that could be good for this role. *Each candidate had contacted me in the past year, asking me to let them know as soon as something great arises for them Quick reply – ‘Can I meet all three next week in Riyadh’? Yes, all set up for her within 1 afternoon and meetings set for next week. We’re there for clients who needs to utilise our network at speed when people simply don’t have the time The best talent isn't always applying to roles or reaching out to your company to apply, but they sit in our networks Next time you’re in a pickle, pick up the phone and call me, utilise our network to save you the time and effort, anything is possible… #networking #networks #hireatspeed
