FAQ

Omanisation services, common questions

Omanisation is the Sultanate of Oman's nationalisation policy, requiring private sector employers to hire a minimum percentage of Omani nationals in their workforce. Quotas vary by sector and are enforced by the Ministry of Labour.

Quotas vary by sector. Banking and finance typically require 90%+ Omanisation. Other sectors range from 10% to 60%. Quotas update periodically, so we advise checking the latest Ministry of Labour notifications or asking us for sector-specific rates.

Non-compliance can result in fines, restrictions on issuing new work permits for expats, and exclusion from government tenders. Some sectors face stricter enforcement than others.

We source qualified Omani nationals through universities, training institutes, our 120,000+ candidate database, and direct outreach. We screen, train, and place candidates to meet your quota while ensuring real capability fit, not just headcount.

Yes. For roles requiring specific skills, we run pre-employment training and assessment programmes. This is particularly useful for technical, retail, hospitality, and back office roles.

Either per placement (standard recruitment fee) or as a retained Omanisation programme for companies hiring multiple Omani nationals across the year. Retained engagements typically include sourcing, training, and quarterly reporting.
