The Kuwait City talent market

Kuwait City is effectively the country's only professional hiring market, with energy and construction driving industrial demand and a substantial commercial and healthcare sector alongside.

Expatriate quota policy changes more frequently here than in neighbouring markets, and it can affect a live search, so we confirm current rules for the sector at kick-off rather than assuming last year's position still holds.

Compensation note

Monthly packages in Kuwaiti dinar, the region's highest value currency. Quota policy affects availability more than compensation does.
