Jisr concludes its 10th Edition of Majlis in Makkah
Mr Hisham Ismail, Chief HR Officer at Sala Addressed the Need to Redefine the Stereotypes Surrounding Career Transitions RIYADH - Saudi Arabia's leading HR technology startup, Jisr, hosted its tenth edition of its flagship initiative, Majlis, in Makkah on July 22. First launched in Riyadh in 2024, the Majlis platform has welcomed over 3,000 attendees from various industries, as well as more than 200 leaders in HR and executives from both the public and private sectors. Past sessions have featured notable speakers, including Mr. Sultan Al-Sahmah, Mr. Naif Al-Faheid, and Mr. Abdulrahman Al-Akhdar, among other distinguished guests who have contributed to shaping high-level conversations on workforce transformation. The event's continued growth mirrors Jisr's rapid ascent in the Saudi tech landscape. In 2023, the company secured a $30 million Series A funding round led by Merak Capital, marking a significant milestone in its mission to modernise HR operations across the Kingdom. This investment will accelerate Jisr's product development and reinforce its role as a key contributor to the digital transformation in human capital. This edition of Majlis is particularly notable as it marks the first time the event has been hosted within a client's headquarters, with Sala welcoming Jisr to their newly opened Makkah HQ. Sala, a fellow Saudi startup, offers a powerful workplace model - exemplifying talent migration by attracting professionals from Riyadh to the western region. By exploring the experience of hosting Majlis outside of the central business cores, this highlights Jisr's commitment to promoting significant dialogue across all areas in Saudi. The event also further strengthens Jisr's presence with potential clients in Makkah as well as influential local organisations such as AlBaik and Saudi National Bank (SNB). Sala's proactive partnership in hosting the Majlis reflects not only their dedication to cultivating strong HR practices, but also the growing prestige of the initiative itself. In addition to exploring employee engagement strategies, the dialogue touched up on the impact of workforce migration – both within and beyond Saudi Arabia – and its implications for talent pipelines, organisational development, and policy planning. About Jisr Jisr is a Saudi Arabian human resources (HR) management platform, specifically a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, founded in 2016. It offers a comprehensive HR ecosystem, including core HR functions, payroll management, recruitment, and more, all within a single platform. Jisr aims to streamline HR operations, enhance compliance with Saudi labor laws, and support organisational growth through technology.

Indeed, Glassdoor cutting jobs as artificial intelligence utilization grows
Recruit Holdings is eliminating about 1,300 jobs at Indeed and Glassdoor through layoffs. The Japan-based parent company announced the layoffs at the two websites Thursday, saying the move will trim the workforce of its HR technology segment by roughly 6%. Recruit Holdings and Indeed CEO Hisayuki Idekoba said in an email to employees that the company "must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for jobseekers and employers" as artificial intelligence is "changing the world." The layoffs come as Recruit Holdings looks to "achieve company priorities," he told employees. Amazon Ceo Says Ai Will Reduce His Company's Workforce The layoffs target employees on the "R&D, GRO, and People & Sustainability teams" in the U.S. "but span all functions and several countries," according to Idekoba's email. Read On The Fox Business App Indeed and Glassdoor have belonged to Recruit Holdings since 2012 and 2018, respectively. The CEO said operations of the latter will be merged into Indeed. That is part of a bid "toward a simpler hiring experience for jobseekers and employers," according to the email. Glassdoor CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong chose to part ways with the company at the beginning of October "as a result of this transition," he said. There are also some other leadership changes in the pipeline. Microsoft Will Lay Off Nearly 6,000 Employees In Push For Efficiency Indeed Chief People and Sustainability Officer LaFawn Davis is departing in September. After her exit, the Indeed team will be headed by Recruit Holdings COO Ayano Senaha, Idekoba said. Recruit Holdings said in a press release its consolidated financial guidance for fiscal year 2025 "remains unchanged at this time," and the effects of the layoffs have "already been largely incorporated" into its expectations for its HR Technology segment "on a U.S. dollar-basis." In early May, the company projected revenue for fiscal year 2025 to come in at 3.52 trillion article source: Indeed, Glassdoor cutting jobs as artificial intelligence utilization grows
