The Riyadh office will specialize in placing permanent professionals in industries such as accounting and finance, human resources, banking and financial services, legal, technology and digital, sales and marketing, luxury and retail, and property and construction. By establishing a local presence, Robert Walters seeks to provide tailored recruitment services that align with the unique needs of Saudi-based businesses and professionals.
Robert Walters has been serving the Middle East for over a decade, with established offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The addition of the Riyadh branch enhances the firm's ability to foster mutually beneficial partnerships between job seekers and employers within the Kingdom.
The expansion into Saudi Arabia comes at a time when the country's job market is experiencing significant growth, particularly in sectors like finance, technology, and legal services. Recent data indicates that numerous multinational law firms have either opened branches in Saudi Arabia or have applied to do so, reflecting the Kingdom's evolving legal landscape.
In the financial sector, there is a notable demand for consultancy services, with major firms expanding their presence in the Kingdom. This trend is expected to continue as Saudi Arabia invests heavily in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and environmental, social, and governance initiatives. Professionals with expertise in automation, financial analytics, reporting, and cybersecurity are increasingly sought after to support these developments.
The Riyadh office will also focus on promoting gender diversity in the workplace. There is a growing demand for female candidates in senior roles, as organizations recognize the value of balanced and equitable teams. This shift challenges outdated perceptions about the Saudi job market and highlights the Kingdom's commitment to inclusivity.
