The MENA region is undergoing a major transformation. Vision 2030 is accelerating national development, Saudization programs are reshaping workforce priorities, and competition for skilled talent across the Gulf is higher than ever.
Spreadsheets, inboxes, and old-school processes can’t keep up with these demands.
That’s why the smartest companies across KSA and the region choose ZenATS, a bilingual, AI-powered Applicant Tracking System designed specifically for Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and MENA talent markets.
From sourcing to screening to onboarding, ZenATS streamlines hiring and integrates seamlessly with ZenHR to create a complete HR ecosystem.
What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that automates and manages the hiring process, from job posting and CV collection to interview scheduling and final candidate selection, helping companies hire faster, reduce manual work, and improve candidate experience.
In simple terms: It’s everything your recruitment team needs, in one smart platform.
