You're not alone @ Susan floozen, I went through the rounds of interviews in June and got a verbal offer, I was told by my recruiter that the offer will be sent in 2 weeks, however I have been on the wait since then (June 2022).

Susan floozen

Oh wow since June. Can I ask which arm of Neom you would be working for? I would be working for technology and development side. does your recruiter stay in touch with you about progress?

renchesbijo

My sector is infrastructure and civil construction, yes my recruiter has been following-up and updating me with every progress

Susan floozen

That's great news! I wil keep in posted if I hear anything.

I've also been waiting since late June

I waited more than 10 weeks from final interview/verbal advice that they were proceeding to offer until the offer was received.

We are in the same boat. I've received a verbal offer on August 29th this year. However, still awaiting for written offer. I don't know how long it will take

I arrived in Neom this week, exactly 6 months from my first interview. Yes it is slow, but will get there in the end. I admit I have been majorly stressed for the last 6 months - I think if I was single without kids it would have been fine but the added pressure of trying to sort stuff out for your family as well has been a long sequence of sleepless nights. but for good or bad I am here now. I have met around 10 other people who also arrived this week and when I visited the onboarding team there was only one working (If I have met 10 there are probably many times more than that - only saying this to give an idea of how busy each onboarder and HR rep must be.)

That's great insight. Thank you. What's the base camp like? Videos on YouTube look ok tbf

Hi guys, so great to hear about people finally getting through the process.
I am looking for some advice and insight into what happens during the primitive and early stages.
I received a call from a recruitment consultant 5 weeks ago and confirmed after initial discussion that they are sending my cv for consideration. I haven't heard back anything since then. I followed up with the agent a couple of times, but they have got nothing.
My question is, how long does it take to go from consideration to an interview? Shall I still keep hope or give up?
Cheers

For me it was very quick, however I am aware there has been alot of people out on leave for a good few months over the summer so it makes sense things are very delayed.

Hi Evilbungle,
I was hoping to ask you a few questions regarding your first week at Neom if you don’t mind.
Can I ask from where did you move and how difficult did you find it, meaning the travel to get there?
As a first impression, is it positive? Happy with your choice?
You mentioned that you moved with the family, are you all going to stay at NC2 cabin? Did they say how long will it take to move to NC1?
Thanks! Good luck!

Evilbungle

It is pretty nice, have mostly been in NC2 so far as it was a public holiday on Thursday. NC1 is massive but has a great buzz about it (The foodhall is something else and was crazy busy - which is a slight worry because a lot of people were off this week.) In both NC1 and NC2 they are surrounded by building works where more of the camps are going up so in three months it will probably be very different. But the facilities are all great, and obviously all new.

Going through the process I came to the conclusion that there isn't a "standard" timings. Somethings that I was told would be quick took ages and others that should be ages were quick. In my interview process I was told they would be moving very fast and expect it all done within a week - it took 5 weeks!

I wouldn't give up but also don't depend on anything happening quickly (or to the same timings as anyone else) sorry that isn't much help.
