Manpower Agency Saudia's referral network covers the full spectrum of workforce services Saudi employers require — from skilled labour supply for construction sites to executive search for C-suite roles, from Ajeer-compliant outsourcing to specialised shutdown and turnaround crews. Every service below is delivered through a curated partner agency holding active MHRSD licensing and the operational track record to match.
Each service below addresses a distinct workforce scenario. Many Saudi employers need more than one — for example, a contractor building at NEOM may simultaneously need manpower supply for general construction labour, executive search for project leadership, payroll outsourcing for administrative simplicity, and Saudization consulting to maintain Nitaqat status. We route each strand to the partner best equipped to handle it.
The core service: skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers deployed across any industry and any Saudi city. Welders for refinery work in Jubail, masons for construction in Riyadh, housekeeping staff for hotels in Mecca, cleaners for facility management in Jeddah — the partner agency holds the Iqama sponsorship and Ajeer permits while you direct the work on site.
Full Ajeer-compliant outsourcing where workers operate at your site under the partner agency's sponsorship. Outsourced workers don't dilute your Nitaqat ratio because they're classified under the supplying agency. Ideal for employers in Green or Platinum bands wanting operational flexibility without Saudisation drag.
Blue-collar outsourcing for industries that consume labour by the hundred — construction, manufacturing, logistics, facility management. Cost-effective monthly or hourly arrangements with accommodation, transport, and worker management handled by the partner.
Short-term workforce for project surges, peak seasons, plant shutdowns, Hajj and Umrah periods, and event staffing. Contract durations from one week to six months. Mobilisation as fast as 7 days when partners maintain pre-cleared candidate pools.
Direct-hire placements for long-term professionals — engineers, supervisors, managers, specialists. The worker transfers to your Iqama sponsorship and joins your establishment headcount. Suited for core team building rather than project-based scaling.
C-suite and senior management recruitment across Saudi Arabia. Country managers for multinationals entering the Kingdom, project directors for Vision 2030 developments, technical heads for industrial operations. Discreet, headhunted, market-mapped.
End-to-end payroll administration including monthly wage processing through the Wage Protection System (WPS), GOSI contributions, Qiwa contract registration, and Iqama renewal coordination. Reduces administrative burden and keeps compliance airtight.
Support for visa applications, Iqama issuance, and Iqama transfers through partners equipped to navigate Muqeem, Qiwa, and Saudi consulate processes for overseas recruitment. Important for employers without dedicated PRO functions.
Advisory and structural support for employers managing Nitaqat compliance — moving from Red or Low Green to Medium Green status, hitting sector-specific Saudisation quotas, navigating micro-Saudisation rules introduced under the latest MHRSD framework.
Specialist crews for refinery, petrochemical plant, and industrial facility shutdowns. Pre-cleared 6G welders, pipe fitters, riggers, instrument technicians, scaffolders, and HSE officers ready to mobilise on short notice across Jubail, Yanbu, Ras Tanura, and Ras Al Khair.

WhatsApp Us for AdviceYes. Many employers run manpower supply, payroll outsourcing, and Saudisation consulting concurrently. We route each strand to the partner best suited for that service, and the partners coordinate among themselves where workflows touch.
Manpower supply is a broad service category covering any provision of workers to an employer. Manpower outsourcing specifically refers to Ajeer-structured arrangements where the supplying agency retains sponsorship and the workers are classified under the agency's establishment for Nitaqat purposes.
No. Permanent recruitment involves a direct-hire contract where the worker's Iqama transfers to your establishment. The worker counts under your Nitaqat ratio. Ajeer applies only to outsourcing arrangements where sponsorship remains with the supplying agency.
Three criteria: industry specialisation, geographic capacity, and current candidate availability. A partner strong in Jubail oil and gas may not be the best fit for Riyadh hospitality, so we route accordingly. See our process page for the full methodology.
We focus on what our network can deliver reliably. Niche regulated functions outside MHRSD's mainstream framework — for example, specific medical licensing assistance through SCFHS, or aviation licensing through GACA — are outside our typical referral scope, though we can sometimes signpost employers to appropriate specialists.
Our partner network mobilises skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers across the Kingdom — fully Ajeer-compliant, ready to deploy.
