Dubai AI Festival 2025: Ali Momin, Founder & CEO, Talent in AI

Dubai, UAE – April 2025 — As Dubai cements its status as a global AI powerhouse, Talent in AI is making waves with an innovative approach to recruitment. Speaking at the Dubai AI Festival, Ali Momin, Founder and CEO of Talent in AI, shared insights into how his company is transforming the way businesses find and manage talent across industries.

Riding the AI Wave in Dubai

Momin described his experience at the Dubai AI Festival as “amazing,” highlighting the vibrant learning environment and the strong professional connections he’s been able to build.

This is my third event, and every time, I’m learning and growing. Dubai is clearly riding the AI wave, and we’re thrilled to be part of this ecosystem,” said Momin.

After an eye-opening experience at GITEX 2023, Momin and his team recognized the UAE’s accelerating AI adoption, fueled by strong government support. That realization inspired them to launch their AI-driven recruitment solution in Dubai — a strategic move to tap into a rapidly expanding business landscape.

Talent in AI: A Comprehensive, Homegrown Solution

Unlike many competitors that rely on open-source models like ChatGPT or Claude, Talent in AI has built its own proprietary AI infrastructure — a major differentiator.

We’re not layering on someone else’s technology. We built our own from the ground up,” Momin emphasized. Their platform is trained on 35 million professional profiles within the MENA region, giving companies unprecedented access to diverse, high-quality talent pools.

Key features of Talent in AI include:

  • Borderless recruitment: Companies can source talent from both local and international markets.
  • Data-rich candidate profiles: Beyond skills, companies can view candidates’ nationality, cultural fit, and career trajectories.
  • Career progression insights: The system evaluates how candidates have advanced through companies of different sizes, offering a deeper understanding of their professional growth.
  • Integrated hiring and payments: Talent in AI is evolving into a full talent management platform, allowing companies to not only hire but also onboard, contract, and even pay new employees directly through the system.

Industry Agnostic and Scalable

One of the standout features of Talent in AI is its industry-agnostic design. Whether a company operates in technology, finance, healthcare, or construction, Talent in AI can serve its recruitment needs seamlessly.

It’s built to work across any sector,” Momin confirmed. This flexibility positions the platform to be a major player as businesses across industries look for smarter, AI-powered hiring solutions.

A Vision for the Future

With Dubai rapidly emerging as a global AI hub, Talent in AI’s unique approach to recruitment is both timely and necessary. By focusing on proprietary technology, deep regional data, and an end-to-end hiring solution, the company is setting a new standard for how businesses connect with top talent in an increasingly competitive market.

Talent in AI isn’t just about finding candidates — it’s about building the future workforce with intelligence, insight, and innovation.
