For employers, it means more reliable hiring and less time spent on manual verifications. And for the UAE? It’s another smart step in its journey to becoming a top-tier destination for global talent and investment.
And there’s more good news – the system isn’t stopping with international degrees. UAE-based qualifications will be added to the platform soon, creating a one-stop digital hub for all things degree verification.
Bottom line? It’s smarter hiring for a smarter future. Welcome to the next phase of the UAE’s digital transformation!
