Zamala connects engineers in KSA with verified colleagues working inside the companies they target. Real referrals, not cold applications.

Welcoming new colleagues nowVerified colleagues across multiple sectors and companiesIndependently verified by Zamala

Real referrals from real colleagues.

Cold applications get ignored. Internal referrals get interviews. Zamala is built around that one truth.

1

Browse verified referrers

See verified colleagues working inside the companies you target. Zamala verifies every one through corporate email, LinkedIn cross-check, and employment confirmation. Each referrer chooses their own profile visibility across four tiers, from fully anonymous to fully identified.

2

Request a referral, pay only when accepted

Pick a referrer who fits your target company. Pay their fee, set by them based on seniority and company. Money is held in escrow. If they don't submit you within 14 days, you get a full automatic refund. No questions, no forms.

3

Get submitted, get interviewed, get hired

Your referrer submits you internally with a personal endorsement. Internal referrals get interviewed up to 5x more often than cold applications. The rest is up to your CV and your interview.

Why pay for a referral when LinkedIn is free?

Because cold applications stopped working for non-Saudi engineers years ago.

Major companies receive hundreds of applications per role. Without an internal referral from someone the hiring manager trusts, your CV doesn't get read. Not "rarely read", but not read.

A referral from a verified employee inside the company puts your CV directly in front of the hiring manager, with a personal endorsement attached. That's the difference between "ignored" and "interviewed." That's what Zamala delivers.

We're not a recruitment agency. We're not مكاتب السفريات. We don't take your iqama, charge upfront for fake jobs, or disappear with your money. Every referrer is a real, verified colleague at a real KSA company. Every transaction is held in escrow. Every refund is automatic.

How we keep this safe

Money held in escrow

Your payment sits in escrow until your referrer uploads proof of submission. Until then, your money is safe.

Automatic refunds

If your referrer doesn't submit you within 14 days, you get a full automatic refund. No forms, no waiting, no human judgment.

Independently verified

Zamala verifies every referrer through corporate email, LinkedIn cross-check, and employment confirmation. Applicants who can't prove their employment are turned down.

Common questions

  • Because cold applications don't work for non-Saudi engineers anymore. Major companies get hundreds of applications per role; without an internal referral, your CV isn't read. A verified internal referrer puts your CV directly on the hiring manager's desk with a personal endorsement. That's worth paying for.

Stop applying cold.
