Headhunters in Saudi Arabia - Executive Search
Executive Search in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is undergoing significant transformation across the recruitment landscape, driven by Vision 2030, a roadmap set to diversify the economy and develop local talent. With the digital shift and emphasis on Saudization, the hiring landscape is rapidly evolving and compelling organisations to adapt their strategies for attracting, retaining and upskilling talent. Additionally, the development of smart cities across the region is contributing vastly to the country’s economy and driving growth across the job market in many sectors, including construction, manufacturing and technology.
Hiring Challenges in Saudi Arabia
While these developments are taking place, Saudi Arabia is navigating an array of challenges from talent shortages in key industries such as technology, engineering and life sciences, requiring companies to focus on upskilling or considering talent from other sectors.
