I had a similar situation (although my pay was coming directly to me from the companies)….I submitted my various pay slips to my on-boarder and explained the situation. They were able to work with that. Keep in mind, like anything at NEOM, your results could be different. Also, there is no guarantee about what percentage your salary uplift will be. There are a lot of factors that go into the base salary you are offered. The total salary is made up of 4 parts: Base, Accommodation, Transportation and Mobile Allowance. The accommodation and transportation amounts are a set percentage of your base (I don’t recall it exactly) and the mobile allowance is based on your position (employee, manager, director, etc.). Any bonus and your retirement savings is calculated only against the base portion. Also, have everything in order when you send it and include the details in an email. Don’t put it in the on-boarder to figure it out for you. They are super busy and dealing with different situations all the time.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a thorough response!

Sorry @killerabc, I can't write private messages, just let you know I did a few calls with my headhunter at the end of August, then an interview last September 4th but I havent heard anything back...this is quite frustrating, I dont know if all the process are the same slow speed than mine but honestly after 2 months this is a lot.

I was looking also the career opportunities in their website but my position is not there, I think manager positions are restricted to headhunters...

Regards

after your interview did they provide you a link to apply for the job through the portal? from my experience
interviews-> Apply for job -> send documents through (degrees, pre med check etc) -> Then you go Under offer and wait for a formal written offer. Although it seems that it takes some time to get a formal written offer (I have been waiting for months).

Hi,

Thank you for such informative discussions about NEOM. I have few questions:

1. Is Neom Investment Office in Riyadh? Will they provide free accommodation?
2. I applied for Investment Manager, do you guys have any idea what questions they would ask during interviews?
3. In which grade Investment Manager salary band is?

Thank you. I just applied to NEOM after some doubts, but this forum changed my mine. Wish me luck

Hi. Might I ask where abouts you are? Reason I ask is I'm actively looking but the recruitment agencies doesn't seem to target Canadian workers which is who I am. I work in procurement

hi
So, in Qatar I get transportation allowance+accommodation added to my basic. Would the 25% added to the total?

No - believe it will be calculated only on the base.

Hi all,

I have recently completed two interviews with NEOM. Both were very positive with the invite for the second interview coming quickly after the first interview.

During the second interview the department director noted that HR can be slow so it might take a few weeks to hear back. It has now been 4 weeks. Is this is line with the normal timelines or could this be a sign of being unsuccessful?

Thanks

​​​​​​

Seems to be a drawn out process in general from what I understand. Did they give you a link to formally apply for the job? From there they should request more details about you (Passport, Photos of your education certificates, pre-medical questionnaire)

Thanks that's helpful. I am waiting to hear back on the second interview. Nothing about uploading documents yet but fingers crossed

Hey all,

I have my 90 minute assessment with 30 minute presentation tomorrow for an finance/strategy role. Does anyone have any insight on what kind of content the case study comprises of?

Default NEOM Potential Job

Good morning! My husband has secured a position on the Neom project with Bechtel and we as a family are on board with a move. However yesterday he received an email saying that staff mobilisation had been temporarily suspended which has rattled us a bit. Just wondered if anyone knows whether this is common and if this in fact means there might not be a position for him. Grateful for any insights to put our minds at ease

thank you in advance

Hi All,

I have my Bachelors of Construction Management from Sydney Australia and have 10 years of Project Management experience in residential construction building custom luxury homes. I wanted to know what type of experience is NEOM looking for? As i applied for a few jobs as a Project Manager but i haven't heard anything back.
