cheers

Well, when I was working in Assir region, I have known of two Germans who were working with GTZ. They told me that it is a reputable company, and its contracts and salary are competitive (well for blue eyes only! Laughing ).
In addition, GTZ provides nice accommodations (villas with swimming pools) and international medical insurrance.
I remember sometime ago, a German employee had a serious car accident in Najran, GTZ sent him a private medical jet to transport him from Najran to Germany!!!!!

I've heard of them. Nothing bad. Nothing good. They'd probably be alright to take a chance on.

I've heard they pay around (up to?) 20K SAR/month.

They can also offer EU citizens German citizenship!! Dunno about Amreekaans (reminds me of Afrikaans!), Austraalees & the like...

STRAIGHT UP!! Something about making it easier for them to employ you (not you!), as per what happened to a friend of a friend. Turns out it didn't happen in the end.

German citizenship is not so easy to get. Whoever told your friend this was not acting in good faith.

...but he works for them now. I think they were having problem processing his papers and this would've somehow fast-tracked things a bit.

It is easier to get Saudi citizenship than German ! There has been some misunderstanding here. Perhaps they said something in jest and your friend took it seriously.

Yes, come on--companies can't, and the German government won't, hand out German passports like tic-tacs just to make their job vacancies in Saudi Arabia easier to fill.
