As Saudi Arabia accelerates its digital transformation under Vision 2030, the demand for skilled tech professionals is surging—particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, cybersecurity, and cloud computing. In response to these growing needs, workforce solutions provider TASC has launched a dedicated technology vertical, AIQU, in the Kingdom to streamline and speed up the tech hiring process.

The company’s new Deploy-on-Demand model is designed to reduce the time needed to fill tech roles by as much as 50%, providing pre-verified, project-ready talent within 2 to 6 weeks. This is a significant improvement over the traditional recruitment timelines of 3 to 6 months.

AIQU builds on TASC’s established presence in Saudi Arabia, offering comprehensive solutions that include iqama management, payroll processing, compliance, onboarding, and meeting Saudization requirements. This end-to-end approach allows companies to avoid lengthy approval processes and focus on project execution.

“Many businesses simply cannot afford the three to six-month hiring cycles associated with conventional recruitment or global system integrators,” said Tim Harlow, Head of AIQU. “Vision 2030’s momentum has created an enormous opportunity for organizations able to close their talent gaps quickly.”

AIQU’s model addresses three major pain points in tech hiring: cost, speed, and flexibility. Traditional system integrators often add complexity and overheads, resulting in slower hiring and higher costs. In contrast, AIQU offers transparent pricing and claims to provide cost savings of 30% to 50% compared to conventional methods.

“Clients want agility. We enable them to scale teams up or down based on project phases without the cost and complexity of long-term headcount commitments,” added Pinky Mistry, Vice President at AIQU.

Industries such as banking, fintech, public sector digital programs, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) are already leveraging AIQU’s services. Roles in high demand include cloud architects, SAP consultants, data engineers, and specialists in OT/ICS security and data governance—many of which have local talent shortages of up to 40%.

To further support the Kingdom’s digital goals, AIQU is expanding its pipeline of Arabic-speaking professionals, partnering with local training academies, establishing offshore development centers, and increasing its presence across Saudi Arabia.

“Our focus is on giving clients the agility they need to keep pace with this transformation,” concluded Harlow.

As Vision 2030 initiatives continue to advance, AIQU positions itself as a timely and scalable solution for Saudi Arabia’s growing tech talent needs.
