Privately-owned Middle East construction and engineering recruitment outsourcing platform, FifthEdge, has been selected from thousands of applicants to be awarded a place on the exclusive Global Microsoft for Startups program. Powered by artificial intelligence and smart automation, the technology was chosen because of its potential to revolutionise construction recruitment, reducing costs and increasing efficiency for employers through innovative technology.
FiftheEdge will be part of Microsoft’s global initiative dedicated to accelerating the trajectory of high-potential startups to enable growth at scale. Microsoft has engaged a team of its experts to explore and engage a selection of middle eastern homegrown, unique and innovative startup businesses in an effort to support economic recovery and growth, both regionally and globally. As a program member, FifthEdge will have exclusive access to Microsoft technology, mentorship and business support, enabling FifthEdge to maximise the adoption of the most recent advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and learning technology without having to develop them from scratch.
FifthEdge will use the Microsoft Azure global marketplace to scale quickly and reach a global audience in a short time, with built-in redundancy and security, and offer its support to employer brands operating regionally and globally.
“We’re honoured to be among such a select group of companies chosen to join the Microsoft for Startups program, and we plan to leverage this amazing opportunity to its fullest,” said FifthEdge’s founder Marcus Taylor.
