What does your Nitaqat color mean?.
The Nitaqat Color system was introduced in Saudi Arabia in 2011. It encourages the employment of Saudi citizens in the private sector of Saudi Arabia. Nitaqat color classifies organizations into six categories – Platinum, Green (High Green, Medium Green and Low Green), Yellow, and the Red. Nitaqat color depends on the size of the entity and the percentage of Saudis to expatriate employees in their workforce.
