Questions
How many new jobs are posted in Saudi Arabia each week?
The counter on this page shows exactly how many vacancies were published on SouqFind in the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. It is a live count of adverts, not an estimate.
How long does a job advert stay open in Saudi Arabia?
For adverts that have already closed, this page shows the median number of days they stayed live. Treat it as an upper bound on how quickly employers move, not a guarantee that the role was filled on that day.
Which sectors are hiring fastest right now?
The freshness table ranks sectors by how many vacancies are open and how new those vacancies are. A low median advert age means the sector is turning over quickly, so it is worth checking often.
How is this measured?
Every vacancy carries the date it was published and the date its status last changed. Ages are calculated from those dates on live adverts; time on site is calculated from closed adverts, ignoring anything under a few hours or over six months. A sector is only listed once it has at least 8 adverts.
