The Hays report noted that 43% of employers intended to expand their workforce in 2021 compared to 29% in 2020.

The report showed that 79% of employers in the Kingdom are feeling positive about the outlook of business this year, and this factor compels them to increase the headcount.

“New and ongoing initiatives surrounding Vision 2030 and the PIF mega projects are driving growing opportunities in the job market, as well as multiple start-ups and MNCs establishing headquarters in the region,” he added.
