Talentera AI features and pricing (October 2026)

Talentera is an Arabic and English applicant tracking system from Bayt.com in Dubai for employers in the Gulf and wider Middle East. Its AI assistant SANAD sources candidates, ranks applicants with explained scores and summarizes candidate histories.

Talentera covers requisitions, job posting to paid and free job boards, career pages, a talent CRM, skills and video assessments, offers and approvals, onboarding and reporting. It is owned and operated by Bayt.com, the Dubai job site, and draws on its candidate data. The vendor says more than 500 institutions in 14 industries and seven countries use it, including banks and public bodies in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Plans run from Core for small and midsize businesses to Enterprise; it suits employers with a recruiting team hiring in Arabic and English.

• Sources candidates into open jobsSANAD Sourcing suggests AI-matched candidates inside a live job from a pool the vendor puts at more than 810 million profiles. Recruiters invite them to apply or add them to the pipeline without switching to an external sourcing tool.
• Ranks applicants with explained scoresSANAD scores applicants against the role using weighted, adjustable criteria and shows the rationale for each score. It reads Arabic and English resumes and keeps demographic masking on, so recruiters can defend a shortlist.
• Summarizes candidate activityWith one click in CV search, SANAD reads a candidate's full activity history and returns a bullet-point summary. Recruiters see the essentials before deciding whether to shortlist, without opening every past application.
• Builds and grades assessmentsFrom a job title and description, the AI creates tailored skills tests and one-way video assessments, alongside more than 800 ready-made tests. It grades candidate responses automatically, so hiring managers review only the stronger candidates.

• Bilingual Arabic and English product and support, with SANAD analyzing Arabic resumes.
• SANAD holds an ethical AI certification from Saudi Arabia's data authority SDAIA, according to the vendor.
• Built-in features for hiring toward Emiratisation and Saudization (Tawteen) quotas in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
• Published subprocessor list shows hosting with Oracle in Saudi Arabia and Amazon in the US, and OpenAI for AI features.

Talentera is operated by Bayt.com in Dubai. For Saudi Arabia, the vendor states SANAD is certified by the data authority SDAIA, hosting includes Oracle in Saudi Arabia, and there is a dedicated Saudization (Tawteen) solution.

Check which hosting region applies to your account, since the subprocessor list names Oracle in Saudi Arabia and Amazon in the US, and OpenAI in the US processes AI features. Saudi employers should confirm alignment with the PDPL. For hiring in the EU, candidate ranking is high risk under the EU AI Act from December 2, 2027, and a data processing agreement is needed. Prices are by quote per plan.

• PDPL fully enforceable since September 2024
• Saudization quotas require digital contracts on the Qiwa platform
• Official standard clauses for transferring HR data abroad
