A SaaS platform that simplifies and accelerates recruitment, making hiring simpler, quicker, and more reliable.

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. Based in Dubai, our founders have served the hospitality industry since 2010 and understand the nuances and challenges faced by companies in hiring and retaining good staff. Over $360m is spent annually in the UAE on replacing hospitality staff. The recruitment process is burdened by volume and diversity, which pulls resource from operational activities and despite hiring marketplaces and the availability of broader verification and assessment software, there is no dedicated ecosystem to support candidates and employers, that protects and serves the regional hospitality industry.

We’ve been using Gateway to source and assess our F&B team this season, and now can’t imagine working without it.
