Consulting, assessment and training for Saudi organizations

SIMAT Global is a Saudi professional services firm. We work with public and private sector organizations to structure the workforce, measure capability against a clear framework, and close the gaps through professional and international certification programs. All services are delivered in Arabic and English.

How an engagement is structured

Three services, available together or separately.

1

Consulting

We define the organizational structure, job architecture and competency framework the rest of the work is measured against.

2

Assessment

We measure current capability per role and per team, so the training decision rests on evidence rather than assumption.

3

Training

We deliver professional and international certification programs targeted at the gaps the assessment identified, then reassess to confirm the result.

Service one
1

Consulting

Before any training is bought, the organization needs to know which roles it has, what each role must be able to do, and how people move between them. This is where our work begins.

Organizational structuring

Review and design of the organizational structure, reporting lines and departmental mandates.

Competency frameworks

A defined competency framework per job family, with proficiency levels that can actually be measured.

Job descriptions and job evaluation

Bilingual job description cards, job evaluation and grading of every position in the structure.

Compensation and benefits

Grading structure, salary scales, allowances and benefits design aligned with the job architecture.

Policies and procedures

Written policy and procedure manuals with process flows, authority matrices and RACI assignments.

Performance management

Design of the performance system: objectives, indicators, appraisal cycle and review governance.

Strategic planning

Strategy formulation, balanced scorecard and cascading of objectives down to department level.

Workforce planning and Saudization

Headcount planning, nationalization targets, career paths and succession planning for critical roles.

Training needs analysis

A documented analysis linking each proposed program to a role, a competency and a measured gap.

Change management

Communication planning, stakeholder mapping and readiness support during restructuring.

HR operating model

Review of the HR function itself: service model, workflows and system requirements.

Organizational culture and engagement

Culture diagnostics, engagement surveys and action plans owned by line management.

SIMAT Assessment

Assessment

Our measurement arm assesses people against the framework agreed in the consulting stage. The result tells you where the gap is before you spend the training budget, and whether it closed afterwards.

Competency assessment

Assessment of each participant against the competency levels defined for their role.

Before and after measurement

Entry and exit assessments on the same scale, so the change is comparable and defensible.

Assessment centres

Structured exercises, case simulations and in-tray tasks observed by trained assessors.

Leadership potential assessment

Readiness of candidates for supervisory, managerial and executive roles ahead of succession decisions.

360 degree feedback

Structured feedback from managers, peers and direct reports, reported against the same framework.

Psychometric and behavioural profiling

Validated instruments covering aptitude, work style and behavioural preferences.

Technical knowledge testing

Role specific technical tests built with your subject matter experts and reviewed for fairness.

Recruitment screening

The same instruments applied to candidates, so hiring decisions use one consistent standard.

Reporting by team and role

Results reported at individual, team and job family level for planning and audit purposes.

Individual development plans

Each result converted into a development plan naming the programs and the target level.

Verified certification

Certificates issued with a QR verification record, so credentials can be checked at any time.

Assessment platform

Institutions can run assessment cycles on our platform under their own supervision.

Professional programs

Shorter applied programs addressing a specific competency, delivered in Arabic or English.

Programs built to order

Content written around your own policies, systems and regulator when the catalogue does not fit.

Graduate qualification tracks

Structured pathways preparing new graduates for their first role, ending in an assessment.
