Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Resquad AI, a Saudi-based provider of AI-driven technical recruitment solutions, secured $1.5 million in a seed funding round led by SRG, with participation from several angel investors.

In a recent statement, the company revealed that it will use the new capital to fuel its regional and international expansions and accelerate its growth in the global technology recruitment market.

Resquad AI is preparing to officially launch its platform, an AI-powered SaaS solution and global B2B marketplace for developers, enabling companies to access technical talent beyond geographical boundaries.

Founder and CEO Abdullah Al Jaafari stated that the funding supports Resquad AI’s vision to build a global recruitment ecosystem driven by innovation and high-impact partnerships across both the public and private sectors, with a strong focus on expansion across the GCC.

Founded in 2024, Resquad AI was built on a proprietary large language model (LLM) designed specifically for technical hiring. It automates key stages of the recruitment process, including screening, matching, pricing, compliance, and payments, enabling companies to reduce hiring timelines by up to 99% while securely accessing global tech talent.
