Velents

Velents is an AI-powered recruiting platform that automates candidate screening and interviewing to help hiring teams make faster, data-driven decisions. Originally founded as a recruitment automation tool, the platform has evolved into a comprehensive talent evaluation solution that emphasizes skills assessment, communication analysis, and role fit beyond traditional resume screening. The platform enables companies to create structured AI-driven interviews that candidates complete asynchronously, removing scheduling friction while maintaining consistency across evaluations. Velents provides standardized scoring, candidate comparison tools, and bias-reduction features through consistent interview workflows. The system is designed for both technical and non-technical hiring across industries. A distinguishing feature is Velents' Arabic language capabilities, with native support for multiple Arabic dialects (Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine) alongside multilingual support for 30+ languages. This positions the platform strongly in MENA markets, particularly Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where it has secured government and enterprise partnerships. In late 2025, Velents expanded beyond pure recruitment tools to launch Agent.sa, an Arabic-speaking AI employee system for customer service, sales, and operations automation. The company targets enterprise HR departments, government ministries, and private firms dealing with high applicant volumes or distributed candidate pools. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company uses a demo-based sales approach with custom enterprise pricing. The platform is backed by regional accelerators including 500 Global and has raised $1.5M in seed funding to support its expansion into broader enterprise AI automation.
