Document background
The Job Offer Application Letter is a crucial document in the Saudi Arabian employment process, serving as the initial formal agreement between an employer and a potential employee. It is typically used after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the formal employment contract is signed. The document must align with Saudi Labor Law requirements and include specific details about compensation, benefits, and working conditions. For expatriate hires, additional considerations regarding visa sponsorship and work permits must be addressed. The letter sets the foundation for the employment relationship and often requires input from HR, legal, and department heads to ensure both compliance and appropriate position-specific terms. Given Saudi Arabia's unique regulatory environment, including Saudization quotas and GOSI requirements, the Job Offer Application Letter must be carefully structured to meet all legal obligations while remaining clear and attractive to candidates.
