The 13 recruitment companies that were given preliminary licenses will commence operations soon and will rent foreign workers and maids to interested Saudi and foreign clients at monthly payments ranging between SR1,000 and SR1,200, local daily Al-Madinah reported yesterday. It was quoting an official source at the Labor Ministry.
The source, however, said the monthly salaries would be fixed according to the theory of supply and the cost of recruitment.
"The companies will enable citizens and expatriates to hire foreign manpower with various professions except the specialized jobs, such as doctors and engineers, without incurring any additional costs like the Iqama and visa fees," he said.
The source explained the companies would be committed to provide suitable and safe accommodation for the foreign manpower under their sponsorship.
He said any of the recruitment companies should consist of at least five recruitment offices and added that each company would be given 1,000 work visas for each of its offices.
"The establishment of the companies was aimed at organizing the import of qualified manpower and to provide professional services," he said.
Meanwhile, director of information and public relations Hattab bin Saleh Al-Anzi, who is the ministry's official spokesman, said the ministry would hold workshops and meetings with representatives of the companies and the National Recruitment Committee of the Saudi Council of Chambers to discuss problems facing the establishment of the companies and other issues, including provision of accommodation for foreign manpower.
He said the paid-up capital of each company wishing to import workers and housemaids should not be less than SR50 million, while that of companies wishing to recruit foreign manpower for the public sector should not be less than SR100 million.
The spokesman explained that the companies, covering various regions of the Kingdom, should commence activities a year after obtaining the final licenses.

SMS to know your company's status
The Labor Ministry yesterday announced a new service for expatriates who want to find out about their companies’ Nitaqat status.
Human resource experts said expatriates would benefit from the ministry’s move. Sharief Hussein Al-Hubaili, an HR expert, said it would enable companies to know whether they are in the red, yellow, green or premium categories according to the Nitaqat system, which measures an organization's compliance with Saudization targets.
“The new service avoids the possibility of incorrect assumptions about a company’s situation or having to go to the ministry or labor office,” he explained.
“It will also protect foreign workers from falling victim to unscrupulous liaison officers who exploit the situation by trying to con them,” he added.
Expatriates will be able to understand their companies’ Nitaqat status by sending an SMS containing the characters 44* followed by the iqama number to STC No. 888996, Mobily 626666, or Zain 709446. They can also obtain the same information from the ministry’s website: www.mol.gov.sa.
