Pinoys in Saudi Arabia who rectified status get quick job opportunities
Tags: Saudi Arabia
Some Filipinos who managed to rectify their status in Saudi Arabia are getting help in quickly finding work in the Kingdom, with assistance from "well-connected" Filipino expatriates, a Saudi news site reported Sunday.
Arab News said the "recruitment" is a business opportunity for the expatriates, who refer the Filipinos who have corrected their status to local establishments.
“These establishments feel that local recruitment agencies are too slow to hire people for them, so they have sought the help of well-connected expats to recruit on their behalf,” Arab News quoted one Filipino involved in the recruitment process.
So far, he said he has recruited 17 Filipinos for two companies.
He added other fellow Filipinos are involved in the recruitment process to augment their income.
While the Arab News did not name the expatriate, it described him as a worker in a hospital in Riyadh and who has stayed in the Kingdom for more than 20 years.
According to the "recruiter," he would get SR300 to SR400 for every person he recruits.
For that amount, the recruiter will handle paperwork from prospective recruits, fill out application forms and submit these to prospective employers.
On the other hand, the establishments turns over the documents to the local recruitment agency, which in turn submits these to the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Riyadh.
Once the documents clear POLO, they will be returned to the recruitment agency representative, then be sent to a counterpart recruitment agency in Manila.
Eventually, the documents will be submitted to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration for approval, the report said. — LBG, GMA News
