JIFCO Recruitment Announces Participation in HRALS Expo 2025 in Riyadh
Representing Sri Lanka at HRALS Expo 2025
The Human Resources & Manpower Expo 2025 will bring together leading HR, recruitment, and manpower companies in Riyadh.
JIFCO Recruitment is proud to announce its participation in the Human Resources and Manpower Expo 2025 (HRALS Expo), taking place from November 10–13, 2025 at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre in Saudi Arabia. The HRALS Expo is the seventh edition of Saudi Arabia’s premier annual forum for the human resources and recruitment sector, renowned as the most prestigious gathering of major local and international HR. JIFCO will be featured under the official Sri Lankan pavilion, showcasing the nation’s commitment to global workforce development and connecting with industry leaders on this prominent international stage.
Focus on Promoting Sri Lankan Talent in Key Sectors
As part of the Sri Lankan pavilion’s mission, JIFCO Recruitment will focus on promoting Sri Lankan labor talent, especially in the hospitality, information technology (IT), and retail sectors. These industries are in high demand within Saudi Arabia’s growing economy and align closely with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 development plans. Sri Lanka has a strong reputation for supplying quality skilled workers and professionals – from experienced hotel staff and customer service experts to IT specialists and retail managers – who are well-equipped to meet the needs of employers abroad. By highlighting success stories and the capabilities of Sri Lankan employees, JIFCO aims to demonstrate how Sri Lanka’s adaptable, English-speaking workforce can contribute to Saudi Arabia’s booming hospitality and retail markets, as well as its rapidly advancing tech sector. This focus comes at a pivotal time when Saudi mega-projects like NEOM and a nationwide digital transformation are driving increased demand for talent in these fields.
Delegation Led by SLBFE Chairman with Embassy Support
JIFCO’s participation at HRALS Expo 2025 is part of a high-level Sri Lankan delegation operating under the official pavilion. This delegation is led by Mr. Kosala Wickremasinghe, the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE), which is Sri Lanka’s regulatory authority for foreign employment. Under Mr. Wickremasinghe’s leadership – and in collaboration with the Sri Lankan Embassy in Riyadh – Sri Lanka has assembled a team of top manpower agencies to represent the country at the expo. The Sri Lankan Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, H.E. Ameer Ajwad, is actively supporting this initiative, reflecting strong diplomatic backing for promoting Sri Lankan human resources in the Middle East. The presence of the SLBFE Chairman and the Ambassador underscores the national importance of this event: it is not only a trade show for recruitment services, but also a platform to strengthen bilateral ties and affirm Sri Lanka’s commitment to supplying skilled labor to Saudi Arabia.
JIFCO’s Leadership and Global Engagement
Mr. Shahran Jiffrey, Managing Director of JIFCO Recruitment, will be attending HRALS Expo 2025 as part of the Sri Lankan delegation. His involvement signifies JIFCO’s dedication to engaging on the global stage and supporting Sri Lanka’s foreign employment initiatives. Notably, this will be Mr. Jiffrey’s second international event in 2025 under SLBFE’s coordination, following an earlier overseas engagement where JIFCO joined a Sri Lankan manpower promotion roadshow. Through such consistent participation, JIFCO demonstrates its role as an industry leader committed to broadening opportunities for Sri Lankan workers abroad. At the expo, Mr. Jiffrey will be meeting with overseas partners, sharing JIFCO’s success stories, and reinforcing the company’s reputation for professionalism and ethical recruitment. His leadership at HRALS Expo further emphasizes JIFCO’s vision of bridging Sri Lankan talent with global employers, and it showcases the company’s proactive response to the call by Sri Lankan authorities to expand into new markets.
Fostering Partnerships through MOUs and Agreements
One of the key objectives of JIFCO Recruitment at the HRALS Expo 2025 is to forge new partnerships and strengthen collaborative ties with foreign employment agencies across Saudi Arabia and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The expo provides an ideal networking platform where recruitment agencies, government representatives, and business leaders converge to discuss manpower needs. JIFCO expects that the high-profile interactions during the four-day event will lead to the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and partnership agreements. These anticipated MOUs with Saudi and other GCC employment agencies will formalize bilateral cooperation, enabling more streamlined recruitment processes and a greater exchange of talent between Sri Lanka and the Middle East. Such agreements are poised to benefit all parties: Saudi and GCC employers gain access to a reliable pool of skilled Sri Lankan workers, while Sri Lankan professionals receive greater job opportunities under fair and regulated conditions. JIFCO, with the support of SLBFE and the Embassy, will actively facilitate these discussions, laying the groundwork for long-term partnerships that extend beyond the expo.
