Fake Localization

There are several negative impacts on establishments adopting fake localization. Most Importantly, they don’t benefit from the actual skilled and competent Saudi employee. This negatively impact the establishment sustainability and competency in the labor market as well as its capacity to upgrade the production quality and the absence of the real Saudi employee impacts the experience diversity and knowledge exchange in the establishment which in turn hinder development and creativity.

Fake localization also impacts individuals as fake Saudi employees do not achieve career progress nor increase expert knowledge which in turn deprive them from real employment and career progress. Employees registered through fake localization find themselves enlisted within low paid and unstable jobs. This contradicts improving their own living standards and deprives them from their essential rights.
