Cercli

Cercli unifies HRIS, compliant local payroll, Employer of Record, remote contractor payments, and AI-powered recruitment into a single platform for companies operating across multiple entities and countries. Local payroll compliance is built natively for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and Egypt, covering WPS registration, DEWS management, GPSSA pension contributions, and end-of-service benefits automatically, while Cercli's Employer of Record and contractor products extend hiring and multi-currency payment to over 150 countries worldwide. Over 100 companies and 7,000+ employees run on Cercli today. The platform is backed by a $12M Series A led by Picus Capital (its first MENA investment) and a $4M seed from Afore Capital, with angel backers including operators from Rippling, Ramp, Oyster, Rappi, and Gainsight, earning press coverage describing Cercli as building "the Rippling for the Middle East and North Africa." Startups use Cercli to outsource their HR back office to AI agents and stay focused on the business; growing and enterprise teams use it to scale across new entities and countries without expanding their HR and People team. Every stage of the employee lifecycle, from first interview to final payslip, lives in one connected system, with direct human HR specialists reachable over WhatsApp and an average support response SLA of 7-10 minutes.

Cercli is a truly AI-native, end-to-end payroll and HR platform, not a legacy system with AI bolted on. Cera, Cercli's AI hiring assistant, drafts complete job posts, suggests screening questions and scorecards, and summarizes every candidate's strengths and red flags automatically, while payroll automation handles salary processing itself rather than just calculations. Built for multi-entity, multi-country organizations from the ground up, Cercli lets businesses model every entity and country on one platform instead of stitching together local vendors, with native payroll compliance across seven MENA markets and EOR/contractor reach into 150+ countries. Pricing runs meaningfully below traditional managed HR and PEO services in the region because AI automation, not added headcount, is what scales the platform. Every customer gets direct human specialists over WhatsApp with an average 7-10 minute response SLA and a 92% first-contact resolution rate.
