Qureos launches Iris, the game-changing AI Platform revolutionising recruitment in the MENA region

The new AI recruitment platform streamlines talent acquisitions in the MENA region, reducing time-to-hire and costs, addressing skills gaps, and empowering candidates to advance their careers. The platform boasts a talent pool of over 7 million candidates from various countries, including the UAE, KSA, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Sri Lanka, and Lebanon.

Qureos, a UAE-based startup focused on advancing careers in the MENA region, has launched Iris, its AI recruitment platform set to reshape talent acquisition in the area. Iris utilises advanced AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning) algorithms to empower employers with unparalleled efficiency in candidate sourcing, evaluation, and matching.

The platform claims to streamline the entire recruitment process, delivering an average of 47 relevant candidates per search within just 26 seconds. This technological advancement has the potential to reduce time-to-hire and cut recruitment costs by up to 43 percent, alleviating long-standing challenges associated with talent acquisition.

Hiring managers will no longer need to undertake tedious manual screening of endless resumes, as Iris conducts rapid and comprehensive evaluations of candidates, pinpointing ideal matches with remarkable precision. The platform will play a pivotal role in addressing the region’s prolonged time to employment, which currently stands at up to 18 months for early-in-career talent, bridging the skills gap, and tacking the pressing issue of job creation.

According to a recent study by McKinsey, the MENA region is expected to witness significant workforce expansion, with a projected increase of 127 million individuals over the next decade, primarily driven by its burgeoning youth population.

Its power lies in uncovering hidden gems among a sea of candidates, often overlooked by employers. Recognising that 30 percent of Middle East respondents, as per a PwC survey, are seeking new career opportunities, Iris serves as a critical catalyst for career advancement in the region. By enhancing hiring effectiveness for employers and empowering candidates to harness their potential, iris aims to reshape the recruitment landscape.”

Qureos boasts a talent pool of over 7 million candidates from various countries, including the UAE, KSA, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Sri Lanka, and Lebanon. To ensure employers have access to a diverse range of highly qualified individuals, Qureos offers candidates unparalleled opportunities for growth and upskilling.
