What do employers in Saudi Arabia hire from India?
Employers in Saudi Arabia who recruit from India are usually contracting and infrastructure companies, oil, gas and petrochemical service firms, facilities and catering providers, hospitals and manufacturing plants. Hiring runs in a set order. You are shortlisted, you sit a video interview or a trade test, the employer issues a written offer, your documents are checked, you take a medical at an approved centre, your work visa is processed, and then your travel is booked and you are briefed before you fly.
We recruit for these employers across every state and union territory in India. Where you live does not decide the shortlist. Your trade, your experience and your papers do.
How employers interview
- A short call with our team first, so you know what the employer will ask.
- A video interview with the employer's manager, from your own phone or a computer.
- A practical trade test at a test centre or workshop, using the tools you would use on site.
- An in-person interview when the employer sends its own team to India for a selection drive, at a venue the employer books.
