Month in the life
With 130 employees, the HR team operates as three functional pods — payroll and GOSI, employee relations and Qiwa, and talent acquisition with Saudization planning. Monthly board reports include headcount cost, Nitaqat band trend, leave utilisation, and EOS liability — all exported from ArcHR analytics. Onboarding 15 new hires this quarter includes GOSI registration, Qiwa contract creation, iqama processing, and medical insurance in a single workflow with task assignments and deadline tracking. Performance reviews align with Saudi National Day bonus planning and annual increment cycles. Nitaqat remains in High Green, but the talent team uses ArcHR to identify departments where Saudi hiring has the highest impact on band metrics. Payroll across two establishments completes with GOSI and Mudad files validated before submission. A voluntary separation programme processes 10 exits in one month — each settlement includes EOS, leave encashment, and GOSI deregistration with audit documentation. The HR chatbot resolves routine queries in Arabic and English, reducing HR ticket volume by half. HRSD announces a sector-specific compliance review — HR pulls two years of Mudad, GOSI, and Qiwa records from ArcHR in hours, not weeks. At 100–150 employees, Saudization strategy and workforce analytics define HR's value. ArcHR delivers Nitaqat dashboards, onboarding workflows, performance management, and full compliance reporting.
Primary pain points
Performance reviews are ad hoc — no structured system for 360 feedback or goal tracking
Onboarding 10–15 new hires per quarter is chaotic without a structured flow
Analytics: leadership wants headcount cost, leave trends, and Saudization data in one report
Compliance checklist
- Report monthly Nitaqat band, Saudization percentage, and hiring pipeline impact to leadership
- Execute structured onboarding covering GOSI registration, Qiwa contract, iqama, and medical insurance per hire
- Align performance review cycles with compensation planning and Saudization retention goals
- Process bulk end-of-service settlements during workforce reductions with itemised GOSI deregistration
- Maintain Mudad, GOSI, and Qiwa records retrievable within 48 hours of HRSD audit requests
- Model Saudization impact of every department's hiring plan before requisitions are approved

Frequently asked questions
Does ArcHR include analytics for a 100–150 employee GCC company?
Yes. ArcHR's analytics module covers headcount cost, leave utilisation, attendance patterns, and Saudization percentage (KSA) — available to HR and finance roles with the appropriate permissions.
How does ArcHR support Saudization planning at 120 employees?
ArcHR Nitaqat dashboards show live Saudization percentage by department, band trend over time, and projected impact of open requisitions. Talent acquisition can prioritise Saudi hires in departments with the highest Nitaqat leverage.
Does ArcHR analytics cover multi-establishment KSA groups?
Yes. Group HR sees consolidated headcount, Nitaqat, and cost analytics across establishments. Establishment-level GOSI and Mudad data remains separated for compliance submission while leadership views unified dashboards.
Can ArcHR onboard 15 hires per quarter without HR bottlenecks?
ArcHR onboarding workflows distribute tasks across HR, PRO, IT, and line managers with automated reminders. Parallel onboarding tracks prevent the backlog that manual processes create at 100+ headcount.
What compliance records should a 130-person KSA company maintain for HRSD audits?
GOSI contribution history, Mudad wage reports, Qiwa contracts, iqama copies, payslips, leave records, and disciplinary documentation for at least two years. ArcHR stores and exports all of these from employee profiles.
