6 recruitment offices in Riyadh warned of permanent closure if they continue to ignore regulations: MLSD

The Ministry of Labor and Social Development said on Tuesday 6 recruitment offices have faced temporary closure in the Riyadh region because of violating the recruitment regulations and breach of contract.

MLSD Spokesman Khaled Abalkhail urged the ministry’s customers to report violations committed by recruitment offices and companies through its official channels, pointing out those who get deceived by such service providers can file a complaint through contacting the customer center no. (19911) or at any of the labor offices found across various regions in the Kingdom.

Abalkhail emphasized the ministry’s keenness to protect the rights of Saudi citizens, penalize violating agencies and ensure interests of all involved parties, saying they can visit the Musaned website (https://www.musaned.gov.sa/) to review affairs of the domestic worker recruitment.

The spokesman also stressed that the inspection campaigns and rounds would never lose momentum to check compliance of various recruitment offices and companies with the ministry’s regulations and stipulations.

Meanwhile, the Musaned website is one of the ministry’s initiatives in the field of domestic labor that connects involved entities under one umbrella, as well as transforms recruitment services through providing several solutions that improve the work environment in the sector.

It aims to improve and develop the domestic labor sector in the Kingdom through coordinating between service providers and employers who benefit from Musaned’s services, in addition to offering creative apps and e-services targeting employers and recruitment agencies in the Kingdom and overseas, alike.
