About Us

At Gateway Jobs our vision is bold yet simple. To build a platform that becomes the benchmark for service sector recruitment in the Middle East.

The job market today is overwhelmed with irrelevant applications, especially in the service sector, where an average job post attracts over 500 applicants—80% of whom are unqualified. Recruiters spend countless hours on administrative tasks like reviewing resumes, making calls, and scheduling interviews. Gateway offers a powerful SaaS solution—the first AI recruiter built specifically for the service sector. The platform automates job distribution, builds a strong candidate pipeline, and screens candidates through skill assessments and video interviews. This reduces HR workload, cuts costs, speeds up hiring, and ensures you get the best-fit candidates based on skills and personality.

At Gateway Jobs, we are driven by innovation, using cutting-edge AI and automation to streamline workflows; simplifying hiring while providing real value to businesses. Integrity, diversity, and inclusion are at the core of our operations, creating an objective system that removes any unconscious bias or discrimination, ensuring every candidate is evaluated solely on their skills, qualifications, and cultural fit. This dedication to fairness and objectivity allows us to foster diverse, inclusive workplaces for our clients while maintaining the highest ethical standards in recruitment.
