Saudi Arabia Expansion Advice

What is Saudization and Why Does It Matter?

Saudization, also known as the Nitaqat program, is a national policy designed to increase the employment of Saudi nationals in the private sector. It requires companies to meet defined quotas based on sector, company size and job category.

Failing to comply can result in blocked visa applications, fines and hiring restrictions. But when managed correctly, Saudization is not just a legal obligation, it’s an opportunity to strengthen your local presence, boost your reputation and align with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals.

We ensure your recruitment strategy is fully aligned with these requirements, with proactive support to avoid disruption.

How Leap29 Supports Your Saudization Strategy

We act as an extension of your team, providing the knowledge, networks and local partnerships you need to stay compliant and competitive in Saudi Arabia.

Our Saudization support services include:

  • Saudization Quota Review – Understand your legal obligations by job category and company classification.
  • Saudi National Hiring – Source and place qualified Saudi talent in key roles.
  • Workforce Structuring – Design a workforce mix that balances project needs with legal compliance.
  • Documentation & Reporting – Manage all Saudization documentation, reporting and audit preparation.
  • GOSI, Iqama & Labour Law Compliance – Ensure your workforce is fully compliant with Saudi labour law.
  • Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) – Let us manage the full recruitment lifecycle under Saudization rules.

  • Identify where Saudi talent can be integrated into your team

They were instrumental in onboarding over 60 employees from Columbus onto our team, with a flexible benefits package that addressed their individual requirements. Leap29 also assisted us in managing the growth of our workforce in India. Thanks to Leap29's support, we were able to increase our headcount in India by over 50% within 12 months and establish our own operation in the country. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to working with them again in the future."

The assistance of Leap29 allowed our company to build a successful team in India without the hassle of establishing our own entity. They provided excellent support from the onboarding process to setting up medical insurance and ensuring all taxation issues were managed in a compliant manner. We were particularly impressed with their responsiveness to any bespoke requests and that the administration of salary payments and benefits were extremely sufficient and always on time. Their professionalism and commitment to regulatory compliance was exceptional, and we could not have done it without their support.
