A self-hosted AI hiring agent that runs on the operator’s own accounts — no per-seat SaaS fee, no data lock-in. Built for GCC high-volume hiring. Fast-read edition: the numbers up front, the detail one click away.
Runs on YOUR accounts, stores data in YOUR sheet, costs nothing per seat — built for GCC high-volume hiring (promoters, drivers, retail, FM) in Arabic, English, Hindi & Urdu.
The buyers who feel the most pain — SME owners and small staffing agencies placing hourly / blue-collar workers — are exactly the buyers the incumbents ignore or overcharge.
The biggest names people call “competitors” aren’t AI agents at all — they’re per-seat ATS suites that store your data on their servers. Here’s the per-user list-price ladder.
The ATS suites above are covered in the price ladder. These are the AI/specialist tools we’re genuinely compared against.
| Competitor | Their strength | Where we beat them |
|---|---|---|
| GoPerfect $250/user/mo | Dual inbound + outbound agent | White-collar / ATS-centric; data on their cloud; no Arabic/Urdu or visa logic |
| Eightfold | Enterprise talent intelligence | Enterprise-only, custom pricing, long implementation — irrelevant to SMEs |
| hireEZ $169/user/mo | Multi-channel sourcing | LinkedIn/GitHub white-collar sourcing; useless for hypermarket promoters |
| Brainner $99/mo | Focused inbound screening | Inbound-only, needs an ATS, no outreach, no WhatsApp, no posting |
| Paradox (Olivia) | High-volume conversational, McDonald’s-grade | $30k–100k+/yr — 10–50× our cost; enterprise contracts; not for SMEs |
| Willo $75/mo | Async video screening | Video-only; no sourcing, posting, parsing or WhatsApp intake |
| Evalufy ⚠ | GCC blue-collar, WhatsApp-first — closest rival | We’re owner-operated + data-sovereign + flat-cost; they’re a hosted SaaS that owns the data, and we run the full JD→hire→report loop |
Placing promoters, merchandisers, drivers, FM technicians, retail/hospitality staff. Pain: drowning in WhatsApp CVs & Indeed downloads; can’t afford Paradox. Value: screen 1,000+ CVs into a ranked shortlist in minutes; bill clients the same 8–15% at a fraction of the labour.
Hypermarket chains, F&B groups, retail, logistics. Pain: agency fees of AED 30k–60k+ per batch; slow time-to-hire. Value: hire direct, save the ~38% outsourcing premium, keep candidate data in-house.
No per-seat cloud cost means we can undercut the incumbents structurally — three ways to package it.
The build we delivered is a strong v1. To be market-ready, prioritise these three.
A 2–4 min conversational application in AR/EN/HI/UR capturing name, visa, availability, location & license — triples completion vs ATS forms. Table stakes to beat Evalufy and our biggest current gap.
Auto-detect own-visa vs sponsorship-needed, Emiratisation/NAFIS awareness, license category. “Ready now, no sponsorship” is the single highest-value GCC signal.
Rank candidates per store/site by commute & shift, with a manager view (“top 30 per location”) — lets an agency or chain hire across many sites at once.
Don’t clone Zoho Recruit, GoPerfect or Eightfold — you’d lose to funded incumbents. Niche-productise what we built into a GCC, owner-operated, flat-cost hiring agent. The only direct rival (Evalufy) is a hosted SaaS; our data-sovereign + flat-cost + full-loop angle is genuinely differentiated.
Validate cost-per-hire & time-to-shortlist on real promoter roles in your network.
To 3–5 agencies in your network — then license the self-serve version.
