HR Glossary
What is Nitaqat / Saudization (Saudi Arabia)?
Saudi Arabia's mandatory quota system that classifies private sector companies into color-coded bands based on their percentage of Saudi national employees, with band placement determining the company's ability to obtain work permits, renew visas, and access government services.
Why it matters in hiring
Nitaqat / Saudization (Saudi Arabia) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
