X0PA AI Expands into Dubai with Regional HQ
X0PA AI, the Singapore-based recruitment technology company, has established Dubai as its regional headquarters for Middle East operations. This expansion introduces the world’s first AI Verify-endorsed HRTech Talent Intelligence platform to the UAE market. Additionally, the move highlights the company’s commitment to transforming regional recruitment practices through AI-driven solutions.
The platform goes beyond traditional applicant tracking systems by delivering predictive analytics, automated candidate matching, and bias-free screening. It accesses over 250 million candidate profiles worldwide and evaluates them based on skills, cultural fit, and performance potential. Consequently, organizations benefit from faster, data-driven hiring decisions.
Supporting Workforce Goals in the UAE
X0PA AI’s entry aligns with national workforce objectives, particularly Emiratization requirements. Companies with more than 50 employees must increase Emirati workforce participation by 2 percent annually, reaching 10 percent by 2026. The platform’s skills-based matching helps identify qualified Emirati candidates effectively, ensuring compliance while supporting merit-based hiring.
Its bias-free algorithms expand access to broader talent pools, reducing overlooked opportunities. Furthermore, real-time reporting tools allow organizations to track Emiratization progress while maintaining high hiring standards. Beyond compliance, the system addresses talent shortages, employee retention, and future workforce planning challenges in competitive markets.
Driving Innovation in Recruitment
The Dubai headquarters strengthens X0PA AI’s global network, complementing its Centre of Excellence in Singapore. Hosted on Microsoft Azure Cloud and Google Cloud, the platform integrates seamlessly with enterprise software systems and major ATS platforms. Partnerships with leading tech providers further enhance scalability and adoption.
With predictive analytics and automation, the platform supports diverse hiring use cases, including graduate recruitment, volume hiring, and specialized roles. As enterprises adopt AI in HR at an accelerated pace, this expansion supports both organizational needs and the UAE’s broader AI strategy for 2031.
