JEDDAH - A number of private
Security companies are facing closure because many establishments are
directly employing
Security guards to meet their Saudization quotas, Makkah daily reported. These companies are also providing better salaries and other benefits to their guards, putting
Security companies under even greater pressure to keep their employees from resigning, especially as they already face a staff shortage. The head of the
Security committee at the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI), Abdulhadi Al-Qahtani, estimated that there are around 55,000 vacancies in these companies. "Many
Security companies have had to cancel contracts due to such shortages and a number of large companies are resorting to fake Saudization, where they employ
Security guards but do **t ask them to attend work," he said.
