Case Study: Dar Al Riyadh builds a global talent pool with Cazar

Dar Al Riyadh rethinks its talent acquisition strategy to compete internationally for top talent

Dar Al Riyadh, one of Saudi Arabia’s largest and fastest-growing engineering groups, needed to rethink its recruitment approach as project demand increased and highly specialized talent became harder to find globally. Its existing recruitment process was slow, heavily manual, and overly dependent on agencies, while its internal system did not support automated candidate engagement. To address this, Dar Al Riyadh turned to Cazar and its cloud-based recruitment technology.

Cazar implemented a combined talent acquisition solution that included a branded career website, social media and sourcing support, and the Sniperhire recruitment system to manage applications, approvals, and hiring workflows. The results were strong: Dar Al Riyadh built a pool of 36,000 qualified candidates in six months, reduced time-to-hire by 20% each month after launch, and significantly cut agency usage, with projected recruitment cost savings of 40% in the first year. The new career experience also strengthened the company’s employer brand.
