Bab Rizq Jameel Recruitment, part of Community Jameel, has helped more than 18,400 people in Saudi Arabia find employment during the first half of 2017.
The move is in line with Saudi Vision 2030’s objective of increasing the number of Saudi men and women working in the private sector. This significant employment boost is spread across a variety of business sectors in all regions of Saudi Arabia, amounting to 10,027 jobs for women and 8,436 for men.
Geographically, the distribution of the new positions was strongest in the western region with a total of 8,085 new jobs, followed by the central region (3,760) and the eastern region (3,072). The southern and northern regions achieved 1,833 and 1,713 respectively.

Rola Basamad, senior general manager of Bab Rizq Jameel Recruitment, added: “Helping people find meaningful employment is our primary function and the very reason for our existence. There is a great interaction between private companies, the decisions of the Ministry of Labour and Social Development, and Bab Rizq Jameel’s database of potential applicants. The database includes large numbers of graduates from universities and colleges of technology, with registrations increasing by about 50 percent since last year.
“Our streamlined registration system enables applicants to register online without having to visit the branch in person, resulting in even larger catchment of male and female job-seekers across Saudi Arabia, helping more people join the workforce and contribute to local economies across the Kingdom.”
According to the press release, Community Jameel works toward building a better world by giving people the power to improve their lives and the lives of those around them through initiatives such as Bab Rizq Jameel Recruitment and other programs that address education, poverty, arts and culture, and food and water security.
