Saudi Arabia is the largest domestic worker market in the GCC, with over 2 million registered domestic workers. All recruitment runs through Musaned, the official platform of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) — only Musaned-licensed offices may legally recruit housemaids, nannies, drivers, and caregivers into the Kingdom. GCC Domestic lists 1,600+ Musaned-licensed recruitment offices — one of the largest independent directories of Saudi recruitment offices online — including 320+ offices in Riyadh plus Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah, and Buraydah, and 647 listings link directly to the office's official Musaned profile so you can verify the licence before you pay anything.
1,618 verified recruitment agencies are currently listed in Saudi Arabia, serving families in cities including الرياض, Multiple cities, أبها.
Every legal recruitment office in Saudi Arabia must hold a Musaned licence issued by HRSD. To verify an office before engaging it: open the office's profile on GCC Domestic and use its Musaned verification link (647 of our Saudi listings link straight to the office's official Musaned page), or search the office name yourself on musaned.com.sa. If an office cannot be found on Musaned, do not pay it anything — unlicensed recruitment is illegal in the Kingdom and offers no contract protection.

The safest route is Musaned, Saudi Arabia's official government hiring platform, working through a Musaned-licensed recruitment office. GCC Domestic brings the licensed market together in one directory: 1,600+ Musaned-licensed Saudi offices — 320+ in Riyadh plus Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah and more — with 647 offices linked directly to their official Musaned profiles, so you can compare services and verify each licence before engaging an office.
Open the office's profile on GCC Domestic and click its Musaned verification link, which takes you to the office's official page on musaned.com.sa, or search the office name directly on the Musaned platform. A legitimate office always appears there with an active licence. Never pay an office that cannot be verified on Musaned.
