Top Companies in Qatar Hiring Foreign Workers

Qatar continues to be a prime destination for expatriate professionals and skilled workers in 2025. While recent legislation—such as Law No. 12 of 2024—now requires firms to prioritize Qatari candidates before hiring foreigners, many sectors still offer ample opportunities when no suitable local hires are available
