Why this works for Riyadh
Western-trained doctors say yes when three things are visible: the title matches SCFHS grade, PSV is sequenced early, and core privileges go live on time. We build those gates into search and selection so private hospitals (and executive programs when relevant) present a credible, privilege-ready plan from the first call.
The SCFHS hiring plan
1) Title & grade (SCFHS)
Map the advert to Specialist/Consultant correctly.
Publish core (Day-1) vs advanced scope with named proctors (N cases).
List out-of-scope activities to prevent drift.
2) Mumaris+ profile & document hygiene
Names passport-exact (all middle names).
Sequence: legalised → translated → single colour PDFs (300–400 dpi); one source per PDF (education, licence/registration, employment letters, Good Standing).
Request Good Standing within the accepted window.
3) DataFlow/PSV early
Launch PSV at shortlist; save Case IDs; review weekly; respond to insufficiency in <48 h.
4) Exam step (if pathway requires)
Prometric booking aligned to rota realities; confirm ID rules at the testing centre.
5) Panel that proves governance (not trivia)
SBAR with numeric thresholds (e.g., MAP <65; SpO₂ <92% for >5 min).
Medication safety: independent double-check (insulin, anticoagulants, opioids, concentrated electrolytes); pump library mode.
Sedation interface where relevant: role separation, capnography, discharge by Modified Aldrete.
VIP privacy behaviours for executive clinics or domiciliary episodes when in scope.
6) Offer that moves relocations
Total compensation (TCO): base, housing/allowances, flights, licensing/PSV support, CPD.
Rota hygiene: 4-week visibility; ≤3 consecutive nights; protected post-call; 20–30-minute SBAR handover.
Insurance: prefer occurrence; if claims-made, secure tail in writing. List hospital/clinic settings; add home/hotel only if domiciliary is in scope.
7) Onboarding Day 0–60 (signals, not promises)
Day 0: EMR/device access, lockers, supply lists live.
Week 1: supernumerary; mentor touchpoints Day 3/10 logged.
Week 2: submit core privileges with policy schedule attached.
~Day 30: target core approval; begin advanced sign-offs with proctors.

Red flags—plus calm fixes
Title ≠ SCFHS grade → remap before advertising.
All-in salary only → publish TCO components to lift acceptance.
Claims-made with no tail → obtain tail letter before start.
Messy PDFs/name mismatch → rebuild colour PDFs; enforce passport-exact names.
Domiciliary implied but uninsured/unprivileged → add rider + privilege wording or remove from scope.
Short FAQs
Across Riyadh—and the wider Gulf—we recruit Western-trained Doctors by aligning SCFHS mapping, PSV and a 60-day onboarding so start dates hold and patient flow stays calm.
