Editorial policy
This page sets out how the guides, salary pages, market reports and tools on Saudi Careers are made, and what is checked before any of them reaches you.
Who writes the guides
The site is run by its owner, who writes and publishes its guides. When a guide has also been checked by a named reviewer, the page says who and when. Every guide shows the date it was last updated, and the official sources it relies on are listed at the end of the page.
What a weekly guide may not contain
New guides are published every week. A guide published on that schedule is not allowed to contain:
- any figure a reader could act on — a fee, price, salary, percentage, processing time, notice period or article number;
- anything the writing system marks as unverified;
- a link to a page that does not exist, or to any outside site other than a short list of official government pages, each checked by hand before it was allowed.
Before publication every draft passes two checks. The first is code: it looks for the figures and markers above and holds the draft if it finds any. The second is a separate review whose only task is to find claims that could cost a reader money, residency or a job; a serious finding holds the draft too. A held draft is not published until it has been checked.
Corrections and review
Rules change. If something on a page is wrong or out of date, tell us: we correct it and the page's update date changes with it. Guides are scheduled for review six months after publication.
Job listings
Vacancies come from employers' own career boards, licensed job feeds and employers who submit directly. An advert's text is never rewritten — it appears as the source published it, with the source named beside it. When a vacancy closes it is marked as expired and withdrawn from search engines' job listings.
Salaries, reports and tools
- A salary is shown only when the advert states it and it is plausible for its currency. An estimated salary is never presented as a stated one, and salary tables mark which figures were observed in adverts and which were researched.
- The monthly market report is counted by code from the vacancies the site carries; no figure in it is written by a model, and each report explains how it was counted.
- Calculators such as the end-of-service calculator follow the official legal text, which they cite, and say when they were last checked against it.
Independence
Some job feeds pay the site when a reader clicks through to apply, and employers can pay to list directly. Neither changes which vacancies appear or their order: listings are sorted by date. See about this site.
