The figure at the top of this page is the number of vacancies live on SouqFind at this moment, and it changes as employers post and close roles. It represents the vacancies published on this portal, not every job in the Kingdom — the national total is larger because many employers hire through agencies, referrals or their own careers pages.
On SouqFind the largest categories by live vacancy count are shown in the table on this page. Saudi Arabia's private hiring is concentrated in construction and trades, retail and sales, hospitality, logistics and drivers, and administrative and finance support roles.
Riyadh and Jeddah carry the most vacancies, followed by Dammam, Khobar and the Eastern Province industrial areas around Jubail and Dhahran. The city table on this page reflects the current live distribution.
Most do not. On the current live listings the large majority of employers choose to keep the salary private and discuss it at interview, which is why salary figures on this page cover only the categories where enough employers advertised a range publicly.
We count every vacancy on SouqFind that is active and not yet expired, then group it by category, by city matched from the job location, and by employment type. Salary figures use the midpoint of each publicly advertised SAR range, screened for data-entry errors first, and a category appears only when at least five vacancies from two or more employers have published one. The day's totals are also archived daily so trends can be reported later.
