DAMMAM – Recruitment agencies here say they will seek to get house helpers from Nepal and India because of the increased cost of recruiting these workers from Indonesia.
This response comes in the wake of the Indonesian government raising the cost of recruitment by $100 (SR375) by April this year, which will mean a total initial recruitment fee of over SR9,000 for each Indonesian housemaid. The monthly salary of SR800 for each worker will remain the same.
The new price for recruitment also comes with an increase from 45 to 90 days for a housemaid to arrive in the Kingdom to allow for training. All recruitment will also have to be certified by the Indonesian Embassy in Riyadh.
