Saudi Arabia Sees New Jobs In Tech, Healthcare - Less Hiring In Construction
Saudi businesses in the tech and healthcare sectors kept up their hiring levels, while there was a drop in new jobs in the energy sector, according to a new update. 'In the oil and gas and some large scale construction projects, hiring was delayed due to adjustments in government spending,' said Anurag Verma, General Manager for Saudi operations at the consultancy Innovations Group. On the construction side, there have been frequent reports of 're-sizing' at some of the prestige projects Saudi Arabia had launched, including at some of the 'giga' ones. This has obviously led to slowing demand for more engineering and project specific personnel to take on the many ambitious contracts that had been planned. But some in the industry say that Saudi Arabia will still require heavy recruitments for its still many construction ventures. The question then becomes how long will it take for that demand to show. Meanwhile, the other sectors where Saudi Arabia is currently hiring are in retail and financial, as well as education, according to Innovations' data. 'Employers have chosen to retain the best talent by giving increments,' said Verma. 'Salary costs for new hiring is 6%-8% more for white-collar staff in comparison to last year.' According to the company, the Saudi manpower market for white-collar workers could reach $1.16 billion by end of this decade. And that for blue-collar worker staffing needs could reach $1.68 billion in the same period. 'The demand is increasingly shifting toward a more skilled workforce, with high-growth opportunities emerging in key sectors such as healthcare, technology, and financial services,' the report finds. By end of this year, more multinational companies are expected to confirm their regional headquarters operations in the Kingdom. The latest Saudi PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) report also points to demand for more hiring. In this regard, financial and tech sectors could see increased spending in expanding workforces. 'Saudi Arabia is still years away from seeing its tech sector reach full potential,' said an HR specialist overseeing tech sector hiring. 'And even with many AI related investments being mentioned, the serious hiring in this space is yet to start. 'Realistically, one might have to wait for 2026 before tech hiring picks up.'

Liverpool set to cut losses with Nunez move to Saudi: reports
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is reportedly closing in on a move to Saudi club Al Hilal, which could allow the Premier League champions to make a fresh bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Nunez joined the Reds for an initial 75 million euros ($87 million, £65 million) from Benfica three years ago but has failed to live up to that price tag. The Uruguayan has scored 40 goals in 143 appearances but slipped down the pecking order at Anfield under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. Accord - ing to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal will pay an initial 53 million euros for the 26-year-old. Nunez was likely to play even less this season after Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz as part of a 300 million euro spending spree that also includes fullbacks Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. However, the club could still break the British transfer record by signing Isak, with Newcastle reportedly demanding a fee of up to £150 million for the Swedish striker. The sale of Nunez would take Liverpool's income for transfer sales this window t o n e a r l y 200 million euros after the departures of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyler Morton.

Three Convicted In Riyadh For Commercial Concealment In Mobile Accessories Trade
The Ministry of Commerce has publicly named two Saudi citizens and a Yemeni resident after they were convicted of engaging in a commercial concealment scheme involving the sale of mobile phone accessories in Riyadh. According to a ruling by the Criminal Court in Riyadh, the Saudi business owner and his agent were found guilty of allowing the Yemeni resident to operate the business independently, without a foreign investment license. The resident was granted full control over the establishment's operations and was found to have financial dealings far exceeding his declared income as a sales representative, transferring illicit profits abroad. The court imposed a SR15,000 fine to be shared among the convicted individuals, revoked the business license, cancelled the commercial registration, and ordered the business to be liquidated. It also mandated the collection of all due taxes, zakat, and government fees. The convicted Saudis were banned from engaging in commercial activity, while the Yemeni national will be deported and barred from re-entering the Kingdom for work. The Ministry of Commerce reaffirmed that under the Anti-Concealment Law, penalties can reach up to five years in prison and SR5 million in fines, along with the seizure of illicit funds once a final verdict is issued.
