Codeeo builds for paid job board website development Dammam operators who sell to the Eastern Province's industrial employers. The buyers here are contractors, fabricators, maintenance firms, logistics companies and service providers to the energy and petrochemical sector, and they hire for skills that must be proven: certificates, trade tests, safety training and years on similar sites. A board that lets these employers search and verify those details, and charges them for it, is worth far more to them than another generic job site.
We build the paid side for that market: project hiring packages, certificate aware CV search, contractor accounts with several sites, and a vendor area where licensed manpower suppliers sell to employers while your board takes a commission.

What the board can include
A welding supervisor, an instrument technician or a safety officer is hired on evidence. Eastern Province employers want to see the certificate, its expiry date, the trade test result and the type of plant the candidate has worked on before they call anyone. Most job boards treat that as free text, which is why recruiters fall back on spreadsheets and agency calls. We structure it instead, then put the valuable parts behind paid plans: searchable skills, verified documents and fast shortlists. The result is a job board subscription platform development Dammam employers can justify to their managers, because each plan saves their recruiters real hours on every project they staff.
Candidate profiles hold trades, certificates with issuing body and expiry, safety training, languages and site types worked on. Expiry reminders prompt candidates to upload renewals, which keeps the database current without your team chasing anyone. Profiles can also note offshore experience and rotation preferences, which Dammam recruiters often ask about first.
Employers search on facts rather than reading CVs line by line.
Recruiters on paid plans filter by trade, certificate, expiry window, notice period, current city and willingness to work on remote sites. Contact details are revealed per credit, every reveal is logged, and only candidates who opted in to being found appear in results.
The most valuable part of the board is the part employers pay to use.
Shutdowns, turnarounds and new contracts create short bursts of hiring. Employers buy a project package covering many related posts, a period of CV search and promoted placement, all tied to one project name so their finance team can match the cost to the contract. Unused posts can roll into the next phase of the same project if your rules allow it.
Contractors buy hiring the same way they plan projects.
A contractor working in Dammam, Jubail and Ras Tanura keeps one account with separate site profiles, recruiters assigned per site and credits allocated per project. Head office sees combined usage and spend, and site managers see only their own vacancies.
Large contractors run hiring across sites without sharing logins.
Licensed manpower suppliers list crews and specialist services, set their rates and accept requests from employers. The board records each order, keeps its commission and settles the remainder to the supplier on schedule, with statements both sides can download.
Your board earns on supplier work, not only on job adverts.
Suppliers upload commercial registration, licences and any accreditation their buyers expect. Your team approves them, the platform tracks expiry dates, and a supplier with lapsed documents is hidden from search until they are renewed.
Employers only see suppliers your team has checked.
Contractors usually pay against invoices. The platform issues ZATCA compliant tax invoices with QR codes, supports bank transfer and SADAD, and connects to your e-invoicing solution for clearance or reporting. Card payments by mada, Apple Pay or STC Bank remain open for smaller firms.
Industrial buyers pay through their normal accounts process.
If a supplied crew misses a mobilisation date or lacks the stated certificates, the employer raises a dispute with evidence. Your team can hold the supplier payout, agree a partial refund and issue a credit note. Completed orders can be rated, and ratings shape search ranking.
Supplier quality improves because it is measured and visible.
Arabic and English pages for each trade and each Eastern Province city, structured job data that search engines read, and fast loading for candidates on site connections. Employers pay more for posts that are found, so visibility is part of the product.
Posts attract applicants from search, which supports your prices.
Recruiters build a shortlist from search or applications and share it with a site or project manager who has no paid seat. The manager comments, approves or rejects each candidate from a secure link, and the decision is saved against the vacancy, so hiring in Dammam does not stall while a manager is offshore or on shift.
Decisions move faster without buying a seat for every approver.
Who this is for
Dammam, Al Khobar and Dhahran form one connected job market, with Jubail's industrial city to the north and the causeway to Bahrain close by. The paying employers range from major contractors to small engineering firms in the second industrial city. These are the four board types we are most often asked to build here, each with a different revenue model. Picking one to launch with keeps the first release focused, and the platform is built so a second board type can be added on the same code and accounts later.
Contractors and subcontractors supporting energy and petrochemical operators hire mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and safety staff in volume. They pay for certificate aware CV search, project packages and fast shortlists. We build employer accounts that mirror how they work: per project, per site, with head office oversight and invoices that reference purchase order numbers. Recruiters can save searches for recurring roles, such as rope access technicians or scaffolding supervisors, and be alerted the moment a matching profile is added or renewed.
We make no claim of approval by any operator or vendor list.
Workshops, fit out companies, HVAC firms and facility maintenance businesses in Dammam and Al Khobar need electricians, technicians and drivers more often than engineers. Simple post packages bought by card, a short application form and alerts by trade suit them best. The board can show which posts are open to Saudi nationals to help employers with their own Saudization targets. Because many of these owners hire from a phone between jobs, the employer dashboard is designed to work properly on a small screen as well as a desktop.
A licensed manpower company can open its platform to other approved suppliers, so employers compare crews and rates in one place. You control approval, commission and quality rules. Disputes and ratings sit inside the platform, so a poor supplier is visible quickly and a good one wins repeat orders through your board. Employers can request quotes from several suppliers for the same scope, compare them side by side and award the work without leaving the platform.
Supplier licensing is checked by your team; the platform tracks it.
Offices of energy firms, banks, hospitals and consultancies hire finance, HR, IT and engineering professionals. These employers expect subscriptions with recruiter seats, branded company pages and a candidate side that feels as credible as their own careers site. Bahrain based candidates crossing the causeway can be reached with location filters on the same board. Premium employer pages show offices, benefits and current openings in Arabic and English, giving the board a product it can sell alongside seats.
How we work together
We run discovery, design reviews and acceptance testing with Dammam clients by video call, with every session recorded and decisions logged in a shared document. Most boards start with a fixed scope release: candidate profiles with certificates, employer packages, checkout and invoicing. The supplier marketplace often follows in a second phase. After launch, a monthly retainer keeps pricing and features improving, and larger groups can take a dedicated team for an extended programme. Where your timetable is tied to a major project award or shutdown season in the region, we plan releases backwards from that date and say plainly what fits before it.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Chosen for the size of your candidate database, the payment and payout providers available to you in the Kingdom, document storage needs and the team who will run the board. We document the system so your own developers, or another supplier, can maintain it without relying on us.

We cannot quote before discovery, but we can tell you what moves the number.
The structured skills and certificate model, the number of paid products, whether suppliers sell through a marketplace with payouts, invoice billing with Fatoora integration and data migration from an existing board are the main drivers. A board with packages and card checkout is a smaller first release than a full marketplace. We give a fixed scope and price once those choices are made, and we flag features that could wait for a later phase without hurting sales.
