10 Reasons Why Elevatus is the #1 Global Leader in AI Recruitment Solutions in MENA and Beyond

The world of recruitment is no longer as we once knew it. 

A decade ago, the recruitment landscape was marked by traditional methods like newspaper advertisements and physical job fairs, where candidates would submit printed resumes and cover letters. Recruiters would spend hours sifting through stacks of paper, manually screening each candidate to find suitable matches for open positions. Picture recruiters in bustling offices, sitting on desks piled with resumes, executives pacing with anticipation, eager to find the perfect fit for their teams – in the shortest amount of time possible.

Fast forward to today, the process has undergone a radical transformation. With the advent of AI, cutting-edge technology, and modern science, the recruitment landscape has shifted from paper-based to digital-based. 

Since 2019, Elevatus has been innovatively redefining the very fabric of the recruitment realm. It wasn’t just about filling positions anymore; it was about transforming how companies across the globe find, hire, assess, and onboard top-tier talent. 

At the heart of Elevatus is automation. It touches every part of the recruitment cycle, from creating job requisitions to onboarding new hires before day 1 –  all fueled by AI, modern science, and the world’s most advanced technology. Our integrated platform simplifies the complex recruitment journey, making it more efficient and streamlined than ever before. 

Today, Elevatus has helped over 200 companies worldwide turn their existing tech stack into a recruitment powerhouse. Enabling them to centralize and automate all their core recruitment functions – from one single, integrated solution. The ultimate goal?  To create a recruitment ecosystem that’s smarter, faster, and above all, paperless. 

In this blog, we’ll dive into the top 10 reasons why Elevatus stands as the premier AI recruitment solution in the MENA region, highlighting its unparalleled capabilities and impact on the future of recruitment. 

Break the Language Barriers with The Smartest Multilingual Support

In the vast realm of global recruitment, it’s common to encounter difficulties when you don’t share a common language with potential candidates.

Imagine effortlessly assessing and hiring multilingual candidates without reaching for a dictionary or any translation tools. With Elevatus’ AI technology, this becomes a reality. 

Elevatus supports nine different languages – English, Arabic, Turkish, Romanian, Greek, French, Spanish, Dutch, and German.

Additionally, Elevatus’ AI goes beyond simply recognizing words by understanding their context, true meanings, and relevance within a sentence. It surpasses other intuitive filtration systems in the market by adeptly understanding and pinpointing acronyms, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors in resumes. For instance, if a candidate lists ‘CAT’ in their resume, Elevatus’ AI recognizes it as the Common Admission Test, not an actual ‘cat.’  This ensures fair, transparent hiring at every stage, offering equal opportunities to all candidates.

Moreover, Elevatus’ career page supports these nine languages as well, enhancing your initial connection with top talent. Customized in local languages, it becomes a magnet for global candidates, showcasing your portal as inclusive and diverse.

But what if the language you need isn’t supported? No problem. In just two weeks, our comprehensive AI technology can adapt to learning a new language – faster than any human can. 

Let’s take our clients, Al Habib Medical Group, as a prime example. Recognized as a leading private healthcare provider in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Bahrain, HMG optimized its recruitment process with Elevatus’ premier healthcare ATS, EVA-MED. This integration facilitated the creation of a modern, vibrant career page that epitomizes their brand, culture, and inclusivity – all achieved effortlessly, without any coding. Their career platform is rich with dynamic blocks, captivating imagery, and a comprehensive list of vacancies, easily navigable through intuitive filters. By presenting opportunities in both Arabic and English, they’ve tailored their appeal precisely, attracting top-tier healthcare talent across the Kingdom.

The Most Reliable Personality Reports Backed By Modern Science

Candidates often bend over backward to impress recruiters, tailoring their responses to what they think recruiters want to hear, especially during initial interviews. However, it’s a tough task for recruiters to truly understand a candidate’s personality solely from resumes or first meetings.

That’s where our reliable and secure video interviewing software, EVA-SSESS, steps in. It provides deeper insights into the assessment process through trustworthy video-based assessments and scientifically validated psychometric reports. These reports give recruiters the chance to uncover core personality traits that go beyond the surface.

Based on the Five Factor Model, grounded in modern science, these reports offer a thorough exploration of what lies beneath the surface, ultimately revealing the true essence of the person beyond just their resume. By utilizing this model, our system rapidly evaluates whether a candidate’s personality traits align with the job role, focusing on characteristics such as conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability.

Candidates are then matched to one of 243 distinct personality profiles, allowing for a level of analysis that traditional methods can’t achieve. This meticulous process ensures that the selection of individuals who fit with your organization goes beyond just their skills.

Consider Omantel, Oman’s leading telecommunications provider. They harnessed our video interviewing software to handle over 5,200 applications for its Generation Z training program. With EVA-SSESS, Omantel achieved the remarkable feat of assessing thousands of applicants within just two days, resulting in an impressive conversion rate of over 63%.

Previously, Omantel’s manual interview process for more than 5,000 applicants took a staggering 164 days, followed by an additional 68 days to identify top talent. However, with EVA-SSESS, they streamlined the assessment process, enabling Omantel to evaluate top talent faster and more efficiently. Notably, they shortlisted 207 applicants from a pool of 3,289 within just two working days.

Centralize Approvals for Every Process – All in One Place

Getting through the complex web of approvals and feedback in large organizations or medical groups can sometimes feel like an unending waiting process. You’re all set to bring in new hires, but the approval for a job requisition moves slowly through a series of managerial approvals, slowing down your recruitment process – from a fast pace to an agonizingly slow one. 

On the bright side, Elevatus has designed a feature meticulously tailored to expedite the approval process. This approach is transforming how approvals are managed within the recruitment lifecycle. By automating and streamlining approval requests, Elevatus ensures that obtaining the green light for various recruitment actions is no longer a bottleneck in the hiring process.

By streamlining approval workflows with Elevatus, recruiters can now effortlessly secure necessary approvals better, faster, and smarter than ever before. This feature encompasses a broad spectrum of recruitment actions, such as job offers, contracts, job requisitions, relatives, referrals, or rehires, significantly simplifying the approval process. Whenever an action is initiated, it automatically triggers a request for approval from the appropriate parties. This systematic approach is engineered to boost your workflow’s efficiency and organization.

Upon initiating action, the approval workflow springs into action, ensuring the required approvals from relevant stakeholders are obtained. This could involve securing approval for job posts before they are published on the career portal, getting budget or non-budgeted approvals for job requisitions, or making sure the right individuals approve forms or offers before they are sent out.

Ultimately, this feature minimizes the need for manual follow-ups and ensures that each step aligns seamlessly with your organization’s established approval processes. Plus, it gives recruiters the confidence to move forward, knowing that the approval complexity has been straightened out. However, it’s not just about simplifying individual tasks. 

For instance, when RE/MAX, a prominent global real estate franchisor, integrated Elevatus’ solution, it triggered a significant transformation in its recruitment process. Previously bottlenecked approval processes now flow smoothly, enabling RE/MAX to synchronize recruitment efforts across 40 countries. This accomplishment highlights how Elevatus is not merely changing the approach; it’s fundamentally reshaping recruitment processes across various sectors. 

The Fastest Resume Parser in The World

In the vibrant world of hiring, candidates express their uniqueness right from the get-go.  From presenting resumes in diverse formats like Word docs, PDFs, and more. Ultimately, it can be a real puzzle for recruiters, who end up wading through stacks of resumes in all sorts of formats.

On the bright side, our state-of-the-art recruitment solutions step up to the plate here, transforming the intimidating chore of handling and sifting through resumes—whether they’re stored online or offline—into a process that’s completed in mere seconds. By simply dragging and dropping thousands of resumes into our system, our resume parser parses the information found in resumes and creates an individual profile for each and every candidate. Not only does this speed up your access to candidate information, but also enables you to swiftly dispatch assessments, questionnaires, documents, or job offers to candidates. Last but not least, it also enables you to rank candidates in order of qualifications and match them to the most suitable jobs. 

Let’s dive into what sets Elevatus’ resume parsing apart from the rest:

• Drag and Drop Thousands of Resumes: Screen top talent 90% faster, with the ability to process thousands of resumes in just 5 seconds.
• Performance Efficiency: Our system is 5-25 times faster than other parsing systems, with ten times fewer mistakes.
• Multilingual Parsing: It supports resume parsing in 26+ languages, ensuring a wide reach in your recruitment efforts.
• Guaranteed Reliability: Elevatus promises 100% uptime, ensuring that your recruitment process never faces interruptions.

Let’s zoom in on The Saudi Ports Authority – Mawani, who leveraged Elevatus’ AI recruitment solutions. With our advanced resume parsing feature seamlessly integrated, they achieved the remarkable feat of processing 22,000 applications in just 4 hours. On average, each job posting attracted 30 applicants, highlighting the perfect blend of efficiency and accuracy.

By opting for Elevatus, the laborious manual task of resume screening becomes a thing of the past. It’s all about transforming what could be an overwhelming challenge into a well-organized, manageable, and ultimately centralized recruitment process.

Track Recruitment Performance at a Glance

Diving into recruiting without the right metrics is like setting off on a journey without a map. Basic metrics are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to fully grasping your recruitment process because each organization has distinct needs and requirements.

Elevatus’ recruitment solutions are customizable, localized, and above all, scalable. Not only that, but they also offer a customizable dashboard that offers one single birds-eye view into the progress of your recruitment, assessment, or onboarding process. Where you have the flexibility to select the metrics you want to track, customize how information is displayed, and even download data for in-depth analysis. These recruiting metrics not only offer flexibility but also enable you to pinpoint the performance and success of your recruitment efforts at just a glance.

So whether you want to measure time-to-hire, evaluate your candidate sourcing channels, or assess your recruitment team’s performance – you can seamlessly track them through one single dashboard. Plus, it enables precise tracking of vital metrics like cost savings and reasons for candidate disqualification – therefore simplifying the process of making informed decisions.

Take Nucorp, the foremost shared services provider in KSA, as an example. They’ve efficiently monitored each recruiter’s key performance indicators (KPIs) by utilizing customized metrics such as vacancy status and the caliber of hires. Curious about how they achieved this?

Nucorp utilized Elevatus’ AI recruitment solutions to establish a specialized system for assessing each recruiter’s management of assigned job openings and their resultant outcomes. They also evaluated the caliber of candidates sourced by each recruiter, striving for an optimal recruitment strategy. This approach underscores the significance of leveraging granular data in recruitment and highlights how personalized analytics can significantly enhance hiring outcomes and efficiency. Consequently, Nucorp distinguishes itself in sourcing top-tier talent.

With Elevatus, analytics becomes a potent weapon in your recruitment toolkit, elevating your capability to recruit with efficiency and effectiveness.

Optimize Recruitment Processes with ChatGPT Integration

Writing job descriptions, googling templates, and coming up with interview questions is no walk in the park. It can take recruiters hours of research to write the best email or interview questions. 

Thankfully, ChatGPT’s integration with Elevatus’ recruitment solutions has transformed this arduous task into a swift and streamlined process. This integration leverages ChatGPT’s advanced capabilities, providing recruiters with an indispensable tool for creating dynamic questionnaires, effective templates, and engaging job descriptions that resonate with ideal candidates.

So, how does this integration work?

Let’s take the task of drafting a job description for a Human Resources Officer as an example. With ChatGPT being integrated into Elevatus, what once was a daunting job becomes remarkably straightforward. This information aids in articulating the role’s requirements, essential skills, and personality traits that would signify a candidate’s perfect match – all conveyed in clear, compelling language. Following this, these descriptions can be effortlessly disseminated across over 2000 job boards thanks to Elevatus’ robust integrations.

Elevatus enhances this process by allowing recruiters to tailor these descriptions effortlessly. By selecting the job type, specifying languages, and emphasizing necessary skills, Elevatus ensures each job posting is optimized for the right audience. Moreover, ChatGPT’s learning capabilities mean it adapts to your preferences, streamlining each subsequent task even further.

Consider Hutchison Ports, a prominent port network in Saudi Arabia, as a prime illustration. They capitalized on our ChatGPT integration to tailor interview questions for every assessment carried out with our video interviewing software, EVA-SSESS. Additionally, they employed ChatGPT to produce model answers and keywords, comparing them with candidates’ responses for meticulous evaluations. This methodology not only streamlines the hiring process but also elevates the caliber of candidate assessment, establishing a new benchmark in recruitment efficiency.

The First ATS Tailored for Healthcare in the MENA Region

In a sector where staffing shortages are a common challenge, the healthcare industry is in urgent need of a solution that helps global medical groups find and hire the best talent, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care. According to the Global Health Observatory data, 63% of healthcare facilities worldwide report shortages in medical staff. Plus, the demand for healthcare professionals is expected to rise to 40 million by 2030.

Therefore, Elevatus has launched the first and only healthcare ATS in the MENA region.

This powerful software simplifies background checks, streamlines visa processing, and delivers recruitment analytics tailored to the specific needs of healthcare recruitment. With its specialized features, EVA-MED is tailored to help fill 2.4 million healthcare jobs by 2029, addressing the critical need for professionals and ensuring patients receive the best possible care in the MENA region.

As the first healthcare ATS in the MENA region, EVA-MED provides medical groups across the globe with the necessary tools to efficiently recruit top-tier talent for a variety of medical roles, including physicians, nurses, paramedics, medical assistants, and healthcare administrators. Thanks to its AI-powered features designed for healthcare recruitment, EVA-MED not only makes the hiring process easier but also enhances it. It moves beyond merely filling positions to significantly improving patient care standards through strategic recruitment. Its purpose-built hiring workflows are exceptionally effective in addressing the global healthcare professional shortage, enabling organizations to hire essential staff both locally and internationally.

What makes EVA-MED unique is its broad reach to top candidates. With its world-class integrations, you can share your job openings on over 2000 job boards, making a significant contribution to healthcare improvement, especially in the MENA region. This extensive network, combined with EVA-MED’s advanced AI features, establishes it as a comprehensive solution for medical groups searching for a wide array of healthcare professionals, from doctors to paramedics.

Let’s underscore the invaluable support EVA-MED extended to Al Habib Medical Group (HMG), our esteemed client, in overcoming their recruitment challenges. Here, we highlight the distinct setbacks encountered by HMG and the proficient recruitment solutions delivered by EVA-MED – ultimately enhanced their healthcare recruitment processes. 

Unmatched AI Matching & Model Answer Feature

Sometimes, assessing applicants from their resumes or candidates alone is not enough. In fact, these papers are just glorified versions of the applicants. But do they really denote who they really are? Not always. If anything, they might involve some slight exaggeration of their skills or work experience. In order for you to eliminate making any biased and incorrect decisions, going beyond the application or CV is mandatory.

Throughout the assessment, you can single out candidates who are well suited for a job with tests that are tailored to individual job roles. One way to achieve this is by evaluating candidates according to a model answer on video interviewing software. 

EVA-SSESS is the only video interviewing software around that allows you to assess candidates based on your model answer. It enables you to quickly filter out correct answers, eliminate guesswork, and assess the skills that are tough to measure. 

A model answer works as a guideline for the assessor and is usually made during the formulation of the assessment questions. It contains keywords and answers that you expect to hear from candidates. Then, the video interviewing software will generate a relevancy percentage that dictates how closely the candidate’s answer matches your model answer. This will help you seamlessly rank candidates in order of qualification and find top talent at the speed of light. 

In seconds, you can get a relevancy score that dictates how close and relevant the applicants’ answers are to your model answer. EVA-SSESS helps you accurately assess and measure the must-have skills your candidates need to succeed.

This AI capability goes even further by ranking candidates. Elevating video interviews to an unprecedented level, our pioneering software lets you compare candidate responses against your ideal answers, incorporating both the expected keywords and the benchmark response.

This feature allows for an exceptional insight into candidate mentions during their video interviews, offering a precise relevancy score for each question. It essentially boils down to effortlessly selecting the top talent.

What’s more, the AI matching tool comes with a customizable “Weights” feature, enabling you to adjust the importance of various criteria per role, like skills, education, and work experience. This ensures the AI’s matching precision aligns perfectly with your specific needs and preferences, granting you the power not just to attract candidates but to find the right fit for your unique requirements.

Let’s take the challenge Omantel faced when they initiated the Generation Z training as an example. This initiative provides recent graduates in Oman a prime opportunity to start their careers. When the program was announced, Omantel received over 5,200 applications, demonstrating the program’s attractiveness. 

However, this high volume of interest presented a challenge in screening, shortlisting, and selecting the top 25 candidates for participation. Leveraging our advanced video interviewing software, Omantel was able to streamline the assessment process, rapidly identify the best candidates, and shortlist 207 applicants from a pool of 3,289 – achieving this remarkable feat in just two working days.

One Resume Database to Accelerate Recruitment Efforts

Imagine you’ve just posted a job on LinkedIn and received about 100 applications. Then, 20 more candidates email their resumes directly to you, and let’s say, another 5 drop by your office to hand in their resumes personally. Suddenly, you’re swamped with resumes from all over, turning resume management into a potential nightmare. It’s so overwhelming that you might feel compelled only to consider a handful of candidates.

This is precisely where our AI-powered recruitment software, EVA-REC, comes into play.

Regardless of whether the resumes come from job boards, LinkedIn, direct emails, or anywhere else, EVA-REC brings them all together into a single, centralized hub.

This software effortlessly enables you to turn your offline resume database into an online, accessible, and searchable one. Where you can effortlessly drag and drop hundreds of resumes in the ATS in a matter of seconds. Then, the ATS will instantly parse the resumes, build a profile for each candidate, and create a centralized place for you to store and retrieve resumes. This way, you can say goodbye to messy resume management and hello to the innovative way of centralizing your resume database.

Take the Ministry of Economy and Planning in Saudi Arabia, for example. Every time they post a job, they receive thousands of resumes, many of which are not immediately used. With our AI recruitment software, they’ve built a substantial resume database from previous job postings. Now, they can effortlessly filter through these resumes to find the best match for new vacancies without having to advertise the position all over again.

One Hub to Centralize the Visa Management Process

Are you trying to manage and track visas for your international talents? Navigating this path requires careful attention to avoid the pitfalls of non-compliance and unravel the complex weave of regulatory requirements. For organizations aiming to harness global talent, this journey extends beyond mere paperwork management – it’s about ensuring a seamless and lawful transition for employees across borders, facilitating their integration into new roles with minimal hurdles.

However, Elevatus offers a powerful solution to navigate this complex terrain with its visa management feature. Designed for enterprises seeking global talent, this tool simplifies the process of managing visas, reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties and providing centralized control over visa allocations.

Elevatus transforms the way you track visa quotas. With a single, centralized platform, you can effortlessly manage, automate, and gain insights into allocated, reserved, and used visas for overseas candidates. This level of organization brings transparency and ease to what is often a convoluted process.

The feature extends beyond tracking, offering practical tools for handling visa-related documentation. With Elevatus, saving, printing, and downloading governmental forms become tasks that can be completed with just a few clicks. Managing your entire visa inventory is streamlined into one intuitive tab, where you can seamlessly reserve visas for employees or agencies and stay informed with instant notifications about visa expirations.

For instance, Al Habib Medical Group has embraced diversity by employing professionals from over 60 nationalities across multiple sectors, including hospital operations, pharmacy retail at more than five locations, dental practices, laboratory services, IT system integration, and biomedical engineering. Managing visas for such a diverse workforce presents a significant challenge. Nonetheless, by leveraging Elevatus, they’ve centralized the oversight of more than 1600 visas. This demonstrates Elevatus’s ability to adeptly navigate the complexities of large-scale visa management, ensuring compliance and efficiency in a diverse and globalized employment landscape.
