The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa are major economies in MEA Fusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recruitment are the major factor driving the growth of the MEA online recruitment market. Several businesses use artificial intelligence in the HR, some way or another. AI is expected to be used in the recruiting process by businesses. AI for hiring refers to the use of artificial intelligence to solve problems in the same way that a machine does. The use of technology is assisting in the streamlining of high-volume activities in the recruitment process. Online application management is one of the ways AI is assisting businesses with the recruiting process. Applicant monitoring from recruiter databases involves many keywords and other data points that AI can easily filter and analyze. To speed up the hiring process, AI assists recruiters in sorting through thousands of resumes. Recruiter chatbots are also gaining momentum in the online recruitment market. The main goal of a recruiter's chatbot is to have real-time interactions with applicants by posing specific questions. Chatbots powered by artificial intelligence are supposed to take the candidate experience to the next level. If job seekers receive daily updates during the application process, they are more likely to have a favorable opinion of the organization. Thus, the growing awareness of the benefits of AI integrated recruiting process is expected to influence more companies to adopt the same, thereby contributing to the growth of the market over the forecast period, which is further anticipated to drive the market in MEA.Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Morocco, and Kuwait are the main countries facing the impact of COVID-19 in the Middle East and Africa. Saudi Arabia's economy shrank by 7% in the Q2 2020, and unemployment reached a new high of 15.4% in the country during the same period. According to the General Authority for Statistics, both the private and public sectors experienced negative growth rates of 10.1% and 3.5%, respectively. These adversities have significantly contributed to the unemployment across the Middle East, thereby negatively impacting the online recruitment market performance. Similarly, in Q4 2020, South Africa's unemployment rate reached a new peak of 32.5%, implying that 7.2 million people were unemployed. However, with the slowly fading effect of COVID-19 across the MEA, leading to the normalization of the industries, the demand for skilled employees is also on rise, which is rising the demand for online recruitment across the region thereby, maintaining the social distancing rules of the government
