Al-Marsad Newspaper: The writer, Dr Badr bin Saud, said that the Ministry of Human Resources has not sufficiently studied the internal labor market in the Kingdom and that it excludes Filipino workers from most of its procedures and does not seek to addressing the irregularity of American brokerage operations and sites targeting the Kingdom, the most important of which is the Great Uber, in addition to the occupation The Asian that denigrates the Saudi businessman on Facebook.
Solution Admission occupation
He added, in his article published by the Al-Riyadh newspaper titled “Solutions to Recruiting Domestic Workers Without Results”, that the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources is trying to control the pace of the recruitment dossier of domestic workers as much as possible, but it is always accused of negligence, and perhaps it is a true indictment in some respects, and one of the simplest proofs against it. The decision issued by the Ministry recently, in which the transfer of the sponsorship of home helps does not take place until after ninety days. To date, the employment contracts are in force. Labor brokers in some Asian countries have certainly reported, with the broker’s agreement with domestic workers to work for a period of three months, and then abstain from it, which means loss and harm to the employer, while the domestic worker is rewarded by returning through another office, in a never-ending cycle of fraudulent systems.
ceiling salaries
The writer also criticized the salary cap set by the ministry for Thai workers, and not exceeding $ 500, and was rejected by the labor export offices in Thailand, as he claimed he would not accept less than $ 600, which indicates that the Ministry of Human Resources did not study the Thai labor market before determining the ceiling, because Thailand has turned into a rich country and its gross domestic product reaches 500 billion dollars, compared to about 700 billion dollars of the Kingdom, and the Thai company brings domestic workers from Vietnam, and its work is professional and not domestic. He specializes in industries, particularly airlines, technology and medical personnel, and can work in car maintenance and contract work, and there are those who expect him to capture 15% of the total labor market of all kinds in the Kingdom, when he participates in it.
protection Interests offices Recruitment
He stressed that the specialists demand that the employment file be returned to the Saudi Interior Ministry, because it is able to best protect the interests of the employment agencies and employers, and thus impose its will on the export offices. of labor, especially the Philippines, whose workers have been barred from most electronic procedures, and are still dependent on paper transactions and sending to their local office in the Kingdom, so they send it by express mail to the Philippines and the transaction could take four months if the owner is lucky, before the worker is tied to the customer and the contract is electronically documented.
Resources Humanity
But he explained that, of course, the situation was not ideal when the Saudi Interior Ministry received the hiring file, and the evidence is that the HR Ministry, in the period from 2020 to 2021, has withdrew the license to more than four hundred recruiting offices, for their illegal practices, and the problem is that it is not proven.In the case of the question of nationalities that can be introduced, it has changed in a year from 21 countries, with a possible increase of 8 after the deal, in 17 countries and recently established in 14. 5 countries, provided that Thailand is replaced by Sri Lanka for domestic workers and the cap on hiring costs amounted to four thousand five hundred dollars after tax and did not entirely exceed three thousand seven hundred dollars in 2016, noting that the recruiting office fee often does not exceed $ 800, and in the custody of human resources the cost of the as security for the recruiting office went from $ 120,000 to $ 200,000.
costs Recruitment

The Saudis accept it because it focuses on nannies, home helpers, home helpers, and the desired nationalities in the circles. Saudi Arabia.
Positions suspicious
He concluded his article that suspicious websites have contributed to the escape of domestic workers and their escape from their workplaces in the Kingdom, along with Asian social media websites, notably Facebook, which strive to distort the image. of Saudi employers, blackmail and fabricate minds on them, and step up their inventions at the institutional level in domestic worker countries and elsewhere. And that it can be exploited by local intermediaries or even those with special agendas, and the Ministry of Human Resources must work with the participation of the relevant authorities to prohibit it or hold its owners accountable, or, at the very least, correct its mistakes and replace it with reliable sites for direct reconciliation between the two parties of the contractual relationship in domestic workers, Without intermediaries, government supervision and reasonable prices.
