Saudis urged to avoid dubious recruiters

Saudi Arabia has warned its citizens seeking to hire Filipinos in their homeland for working in the kingdom against fraudulent brokers.

The Saudi embassy in Manila, on its Twitter account, called for contracting potential Filipino employees through approved recruitment offices in keeping with rules endorsed by both the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and the Philippine Department of Labour based on joint agreements. “The embassy hopes for compliance with recruitment instructions so that the citizen will not be exposed to fraud by persons, mediators and fake offices.”

There are around a million Filipinos in Saudi Arabia.
