100-word summary
Dubai-based Qureos just raised $5 million (led by Prosus Ventures and Salica Oryx Fund) to scale Iris, its AI hiring platform that automates recruiting from sourcing to interviews. The platform screens candidates in under 15 seconds and posts across 2,000+ job boards. It's already serving 1,000+ enterprise clients including Qatar Airways and Dubai Economy. Funds will expand AI capabilities and fuel global growth. If Iris delivers on speed without sacrificing quality, traditional recruitment agencies and legacy ATS platforms may face serious pressure to automate—or risk obsolescence.
