100-word summary
Dubai-based Qureos just closed a $5 million seed round led by Prosus Ventures and Salica Oryx Fund to supercharge its AI hiring platform. The star of the show is Iris, an AI recruiter that sources from 2,000+ job boards and screens candidates in under 15 seconds—basically making traditional recruiting look glacial. Already serving 1,000+ organizations including Qatar Airways and Dubai Economy and Tourism, Qureos plans to deepen its AI capabilities and expand aggressively into the US and new enterprise partnerships.
