The round also saw participation from Oraseya Capital, Plus VC, F6 Ventures, BDev Ventures, Sunny Side Venture Partners, and Daniel Tyre. It also saw a follow-on investment from COTU Ventures and Globivest.

“By dramatically reducing time-to-hire while improving recruiter productivity and candidate experience, the company is redefining how modern organizations approach talent acquisition,” said Hasan Haider, Founder and Managing Partner at Plus VC.

Founded in 2021 by Alexander Epure and Usama Nini, Qureos is an AI-driven hiring platform. It helps enterprises and recruitment teams run faster, more efficient hiring at scale. Moreover, it automates sourcing, screening, and interviewing while matching candidates to roles across the broader market based on fit and potential. Furthermore, by automating these steps, it aims to eliminate a full year of recruiter workload that would otherwise slow hiring and limit capacity.

“Hiring speed is becoming one of the most decisive competitive advantages for modern companies,” said Alexander Epure, Co-Founder and CEO of Qureos.
