For companies

Hire MENA's sharpest interns in days.

Pre-screened, AI-matched candidates across tech, design, and business — built on the same matching engine Kawkab uses for enterprise AI work.

Why companies switch

Stop sorting CVs. Start meeting candidates.

Pre-screened, AI-matched candidates

Stop drowning in CVs. We surface only candidates whose skills, language, and work-mode match your role brief.

60–80% less time to first interview

Hire interns in days, not weeks. Our matching engine pre-screens against your actual job description.

Built for MENA, not retrofitted

Multilingual candidates, regional time zones, and country-specific compliance — handled out of the box.

Transparent stipends, no markup

You pay candidates directly on your normal payroll. Kawkab charges per hire or via annual subscription — never a percentage of stipends.

How it works

Three steps from brief to hire.

01

Post your brief

Share the role, skills, work mode, and language requirements. We translate that into a matching profile.

02

Review your shortlist

Get a ranked shortlist of candidates within 72 hours. Each match comes with a fit explanation, not just a score.

03

Interview and hire

Run interviews on your timeline. Make offers directly. Kawkab supports onboarding and references — nothing more.
