Cercli is an AI-powered global HR system designed specifically for the MENA region that combines HRIS, payroll, contractor management, and Employer of Record services on a single platform.

Use Case

Cercli consolidates people, payroll, and finance workflows into a single HRIS designed for MENA compliance while supporting global teams. Use it to: unify multi-country, multi-entity HR and payroll operations; pay direct employees, remote contractors, and EOR hires across 150+ countries with multi-currency support; automate leave, onboarding/offboarding, expenses, and documents; replace fragmented tools with one platform and reduce manual errors; ensure regional compliance (UAE WPS/DEWS/MOHRE, KSA GOSI/Mudad, Qatar WPS, Egypt Social Insurance) by default; provide leadership with accurate, real-time reporting and audit trails; and scale into or out of MENA without standing up local entities.

Unify all people data across direct employees, remote contractors, and EOR workers into a single HRIS that is localized per hire, so HR can eliminate manual tracking and gain real-time visibility. Provide a live people directory and org charts with export-ready structures for regulated submissions (e.g., Central Banks, DFSA, ADGM). Empower employees to self-serve updates to profiles, dependents, and banking details with automated, location-aware verification to reduce errors. Centralize and track multi-agreement contracts per worker with full change history and approvals for auditability. Automate day-to-day operations such as expense claims, leave requests, onboarding and offboarding—keeping stakeholders informed via Slack/Microsoft Teams/email notifications. Stay compliant with document reminders and expiries, and streamline offboarding with compliant gratuity/final settlement workflows. Suitable for companies operating within, from, and into MENA while managing global teams in multiple countries. Sources: https://www.cercli.com/hris/people-management, https://www.cercli.com/

Cercli’s AI-native recruitment module helps talent teams and hiring managers move faster by drafting complete job posts, collecting role requirements, suggesting structured screening questions and scorecards, and giving instant AI-generated summaries of each candidate’s strengths, experience, and potential risks. It centralises review into one clear, structured profile so teams can identify high-potential candidates quickly, reduce manual screening, and maintain momentum. Designed for companies hiring within, from, and into MENA, the ATS connects to Cercli’s HRIS and payroll to streamline the handoff from candidate to employee while meeting regional compliance requirements (e.g., WPS/MOHRE in the UAE, GOSI/DEWS in KSA/Dubai).

Target Audience

MENA-based or MENA-expanding companies needing localized HRIS and payroll compliance; mid-market and enterprise organizations operating multi-entity, multi-country structures; finance, HR, and operations teams consolidating tools; companies with mixed workforces (employees, contractors, EOR) and global teams across 150+ countries.
