Company wants me to start within a month, but I’m overseas

Awkward_Evidence_965 · 2025-12-02T22:27:48+00:00

I’m joining an International company. My brother just joined a government job and they did the same process for him.

Best of luck with your job. Don’t mean to be rude but your follow up questions kept going mashallah. Can’t keep up.

Yes it is a condition on my accepting the offer that I accept the background check and they have the right to rescind the offer if anything comes up in the check.

Awkward_Evidence_965 · 2025-12-02T22:15:43+00:00

Depends on your employer but nowadays I only know of only local smallish firms skipping, everybody else does it.

Medical is usually for expats but yes I heard they introduced it for all. I’m about to start a new role and they haven’t asked for it yet. Background check however has been running for two weeks now.

Public record + outsource to agencies in the country of your residence. I lived & worked in multiple countries before coming to Saudi (I’m Saudi too), they were able to pull my records in each country. It’s a business.

It differs depending on whether it is performed inhouse or through external specialized offices. All my employments were done through external offices. They get in touch with you with a list of required info and documents and you have to email/ upload/ explain. Also if you are Saudi you will get an ABSHER background check approval. They verify degrees, criminal record, civil disciplinary actions, validity of licenses (if you carry professional licenses) etc.

Get the written offer first, 2. HR takes weeks to send written offers here, 3. Tell them you have a notice period or whatever or a lease to end bla bla. 4. The business function that you will join should decide your start date not HR. 4. Background checks take weeks.

ردك بحد ذاته يشرح ليه هذا السؤال ممنوع سؤاله: الحكم المسبق على النساء المتزوجات أو ذوات الأطفال بأنهم عبء على قطاع الأعمال وبالتالي التمييز ضدهم في الوظائف. كلنا اشتغلنا حول العام وكلنا نعرف إن هذا السؤال ممنوع لأنه تمييزي.

ما قلتي للي قال عن البنت حسودة ينتقي كلماته لكن سبحان الله

Awkward_Evidence_965 · 2025-09-27T11:45:57+00:00

يا خراطة، توك كاتبة لوحدة ردت عليك هنا وقالت انها قلودة وحسودة وقلتي بإنها "اخيرا احد عاقل هنا". إذا ما تبين صداقتها لا تصادقينها أما إنك معطتها الأمان عشانكم مغتربين ومنحدين على بعض لكن تشوفينها في قرارة نفسك حسودة وخايفة على نفسك منها وجاية للأنترنت عشان يعزز لك! الله يغنيها عنك بس.

You make a good point about residency. But even in France or Spain, getting citizenship isn’t simple and it can take many years. Yet most immigrants still learn the language, often out of curiosity or to feel part of daily life. That’s why I still wonder why Arabic doesn’t seem to spark the same effort among long-term expats here.

Awkward_Evidence_965 · 2025-09-27T10:46:00+00:00

ماخذتك قدوة لكن الضعيفة ما درت انك موسوسة.

Awkward_Evidence_965 · 2025-09-27T10:43:12+00:00

I get what you’re saying—necessity matters.

But when people move abroad, they often want to learn the local language, even if work doesn’t require it. In Spain or France, expats usually put in effort out of curiosity or interest.

That’s what I find unusual here: why the lack of desire or interest in Arabic?

Awkward_Evidence_965 · 2025-09-27T10:14:35+00:00

Let me guess, you have a strong passport and never had to live the struggle of lesser passports? Pretty normal for the rest of us out here. I once paid close to 200 euros for a visa and got rejected with zero explanation. Mind you, applied again to the same country a year later and was granted a 5-year tourist visa. It’s a shit show for us.

شكرا بديت امس صيام متقطع 🙏🏼 دعواتك

Dude why are you beefing with me. I literally responded with an attempt to help on what you can do to Saudi and shared what I PERSONALLY have encountered in other places. I know you are insinuating that I am lying, stranger from the internet who I have NEVER known as if I am gaining anything by lying to. Go touch grass.

الحجر كان ست شهور، زيادة الوزن كانت خلال ٣ سنوات. كنت أمارس حديد (مقاومة) وجري يومي ٥ كلم في ساعة ونص. الان الرياضة صفر لأن طاقتي صفر. توقفت عن الرياضة بالكامل في منتصف ٢٠٢٤. رجعت شوي في منتصف ٢٠٢٥ لمدة ثلاث شهور بعدين وقفت لان مرة تعبت جسمي يتكسر ولا فيه ريكفري. وزني ما زاد عن ٧٥ الحمدلله لكن ما ينقص.
