Jotun, the Kingdom’s Number One paint manufacturer, established a major presence as a Silver sponsor at the recent job fair held at the Jeddah Hilton on March 25-27, joining a number of successful companies aiming to increase the percentage of Saudi employees on their payrolls.

One of the Hilton’s ballrooms was filled with stands manned by major companies operating in Saudi Arabia, all with the same goal of attracting top-quality Saudi talent. Jotun was successful in registered more than 1,000 CVs from both male and female job hunters and, at the same time, distributed flyers inviting applicants to submit applications via their website, jotun.com/careers.

“We take the mandates of Saudization very seriously and would like to be an example that other companies in the Kingdom can follow,” explained Faisal Reda, HR Manager at JotunSaudia. “We are always looking to hire talented young Saudis and we believe that the job fair was an ideal opportunity to do just that.”
