How hiring works here
1Create a company account
Register with your work email, add your company name, sector, city and a short description. A complete profile measurably increases the number of candidates willing to send you their CV.
2Post the vacancy
Give the exact job title candidates search for, the city, the employment type and the number of vacancies. Separate the requirements you genuinely need from the ones you would merely prefer.
3Choose how you want to be contacted
Applications through SouqFind, by email, or on WhatsApp — you pick, and only the method you choose is shown to candidates. You can also hide your company name for a confidential hire.
4Search candidate profiles
Do not wait for applications. Search by profession and experience, and request the CV of anyone who fits. The candidate approves the request before any contact detail is revealed.
5Manage applications in one place
Every application, CV view and shortlist decision sits in your dashboard, so a second person on your team can pick up where you left off.
What you get
Confidential posting
Publish a role without your company name when the hire is sensitive, and reveal yourself only when you contact the candidate.
Verification badge
Verified employers get more applications, because candidates in this market screen for fraud before they apply.
A profile that ranks
Your company page lists your open roles and is indexable once it carries real information, so candidates searching your name find your vacancies.
Before you post
The detail that most changes response rates in Saudi Arabia is specificity. Our employer guide covers which requirement fields actually filter your shortlist and which quietly shrink your candidate pool for no benefit.
Common questions
Is posting a job on SouqFind free?
Yes. Posting vacancies, receiving applications and searching candidate profiles are free for employers in Saudi Arabia.
Can I hide my company name on a vacancy?
Yes. Each vacancy has an option to publish without the employer name, so candidates see the role, city and requirements but not who is hiring until you contact them. It is commonly used for replacement hires.
Why can't I see a candidate's phone number straight away?
Candidate contact details and CV files are private by default. You send a request explaining the role, the candidate approves it, and only then do their details become visible to you. That consent step is why candidates keep their profiles complete and active.
What does employer verification do?
A verified badge tells candidates your company documents were reviewed. In a market where jobseekers are cautious about fraud, it directly affects how many people apply to you.
Who can post on behalf of my company?
The account owner posts and manages vacancies. Every post, edit and status change is recorded against the account, so your job history stays auditable.
