Workforce
HR and Workforce Support
Employing people in Saudi Arabia carries a documentation cycle that runs continuously alongside the employment itself: contracts to register, permits to issue, records to maintain, wages to report, and a Saudization position to manage.
We support the administrative and documentary side of that cycle.
Who this service is for
- Companies with expatriate employees in Saudi Arabia
- HR teams without dedicated government-relations support
- International companies whose Saudi entity is still small
- Employers preparing to bring employees and their families into the Kingdom
What we coordinate
- Workforce documentation
- Employment contract registration, work permit issuance and renewal, residence permit processing, employee record maintenance across the relevant platforms.
- Onboarding coordination
- The documentary sequence from offer to arrival to a fully documented employee, including what the employee must obtain before travelling and what happens after arrival.
- Employee mobilisation coordination
- Coordinating the documentary steps involved in moving an employee into the Kingdom, working with the employer and the employee.
- HR administration coordination
- Supporting your team with the documentation and submissions that sit behind employment administration.
- Saudization and Nitaqat guidance
- Explaining how your establishment's classification is calculated, what affects it, and how it relates to your visa quota. This is guidance and coordination, not a compliance certification.
- Workforce compliance support
- Helping you understand your obligations, what evidence is required, and what falls due when.
- Offboarding coordination
- Final exit documentation and the closing of employee records.
What we do not do
We are explicit about this because the market is not.
- We do not operate as a recruitment agency and do not source or place candidates
- We do not provide manpower supply, labour supply or staff outsourcing
- We do not act as an employer of record
- We do not provide legal advice on employment disputes
- We do not certify your compliance position: that assessment belongs to the relevant authority
Where you need a licensed recruitment provider, a lawyer, or an audit of your compliance position, we will tell you and help you find one.
What we need from you
- A valid Commercial Registration and active establishment file
- Written authorisation defining exactly what we may handle
- Accurate employee data
- Employment contracts and offer documentation
- Timely notice of joiners, leavers and changes
Common issues we help resolve
- Employee records inconsistent between platforms
- Work permits and residence permits falling out of alignment
- Contract registration errors surfacing at renewal
- Saudization position misunderstood until it blocks a visa request
- Documentation for arriving families started too late
- No single view of what falls due and when

Questions
Frequently asked
Do you recruit staff for us?
No. We do not provide recruitment, candidate sourcing or manpower supply services.
Can you manage our whole workforce documentation cycle?
Yes, as a coordination engagement with a defined scope and written authorisation.
Can you tell us our Nitaqat position?
We can explain how the classification works and what affects it. The official position is determined by the Ministry, and we will show you where to see it.
Do you handle visas for employees' families?
Yes, as part of employee documentation coordination: see also Relocation Support.
Can you advise on a dispute with an employee?
No. That requires a qualified lawyer, and we will say so rather than attempt it.
