In a significant move to enforce labor regulations, Saudi Arabia has shut down 10 recruitment firms and penalized 27 others for violating labor laws. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development conducted nationwide inspections during the third quarter of 2025, uncovering numerous infractions. The suspended firms were found guilty of breaching recruitment and labor service rules, delaying client reimbursements, and failing to address beneficiary complaints effectively. The ministry has urged the public to utilize Musaned, the official national platform for recruitment services, which facilitates direct communication with approved providers and allows for evaluation, reporting, and follow-up. Violations can be reported via the number 920002866 or through the Musaned app. This crackdown underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to protecting workers’ rights and ensuring fair labor practices.
