From his side, Mr Nawaf Al-Subaie, Human Resources Manager, said: “During the last period, we had great challenge with ourselves. The aim was to employ as many Saudis as possible within a short period. The process was selective and included several stages, starting from the announcement of the vacancies, then receiving biographies, giving priority to the Saudi citizens, and giving them the opportunity to train in one of the most important international training institutes to acquire the required skills, and then recruiting them.”
