HRSD Ministry launches Ajeer for Tourism Seasons service
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD), in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, launched the 'Ajeer for Tourism Seasons' service. The new service aims at enabling national workforce participation in seasonal jobs within the tourism sector and increasing their involvement in the labor market.
According to a statement from the ministry today, the service is designed to meet the needs of tourism sector establishments—particularly those operating in accommodation, travel, and tourism activities – which are overseen and licensed by the Ministry of Tourism—during peak seasons. It allows these establishments to benefit from seasonal labor services across the Kingdom, in accordance with defined rules and regulations that ensure a smooth and flexible seasonal contracting process.
The new service allows businesses to post job vacancies through the 'Ajeer' platform, and enables jobseekers to browse and apply for available opportunities online. It also facilitates the issuance of verified seasonal work permits that enhance the reliability of the contractual relationship between both parties.
The ministry affirmed that this service is part of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing labor market flexibility, improving the efficiency and readiness of the national workforce, reducing reliance on non-national labor, and empowering citizens.
