The new KAUST Hiring Portal acts as a unified gateway for founders, HR leaders, and talent teams to manage every part of the recruitment process — with speed, accuracy, and flexibility.

Through Talents Arena’s technology, the KAUST Hiring Portal empowers startups to:

• Create job descriptions powered by AI recommendations.
