Saudi talent faces challenges in accessing administrative jobs. Job seekers have reported meeting the requirements and passing interviews without being hired, while similar positions were later assigned to non-Saudis. There are also concerns that localization may fulfill quotas without providing actual work or sufficient opportunities for development and promotion. The Ministry of Human Resources’ decision covers the localization of 69 administrative support occupations at a rate of 100%. Implementation began for 19 occupations on April 5, 2026, and the grace period for applying the decision to another 50 occupations ended on October 4, 2026. Specialists are calling for clear, reviewable hiring and promotion criteria, oversight of the work actually performed, and measures of Saudi nationals’ access to high-quality and supervisory roles to ensure sustained participation in the workforce.
