Ajeer Ul Hajj Work Service 2025
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) in Saudi Arabia has announced the launch of the ‘Ajeer Al-Hajj’ service for the upcoming Hajj season (1446 AH). This initiative aims to connect businesses with temporary workers while providing job seekers and employers with a unified platform for seasonal employment opportunities.
What is ‘Ajeer Al-Hajj’?
The ‘Ajeer Al-Hajj’ service allows organizations to hire Saudi nationals and foreign residents on short-term contracts during the Hajj season. It also facilitates the issuance of work permits for temporary employees.
Key features of the service include:
-
Job Listings – Employers can post seasonal vacancies on the platform.
-
Job Matching – Job seekers can browse and apply for available positions.
-
Work Permits – Companies hiring seasonal workers must obtain Hajj work permits, and failure to comply may result in legal action.
Purpose of the Initiative
The ministry stated that this step is designed to:
-
Improve services for Hajj pilgrims.
-
Enhance the overall Hajj experience.
-
Provide employment opportunities for Saudis and residents.
Call for Applications
The HRSD has encouraged Saudi citizens and expatriates looking for seasonal work to register their details on the platform. This will help match them with employers in need of temporary staff at the holy sites.
Why is This Important?
Every year, millions of pilgrims visit Makkah and Madinah for Hajj, creating a high demand for additional workers in hospitality, transportation, healthcare, and other sectors. The ‘Ajeer Al-Hajj’ system ensures a smooth hiring process while maintaining legal compliance.
By streamlining temporary employment, the ministry aims to support businesses and job seekers while ensuring high-quality services for pilgrims.
