ABOUT CERCLI

Cercli is the single modern platform for Middle East & North Africa (MENA)
businesses to hire, manage and pay their global workforce. We automate your
local and remote payrolls, HR, onboarding, compliance, expenses and more - to
help organisations reduce human error and stay fully compliant.

Even today, companies across MENA manage payroll, employee information,
documents, onboarding checklists, and a plethora of other tasks manually. They
default to spreadsheets, legacy enterprise solutions, and dated basic HR
solutions, causing an array of issues and challenges, including human error and
fraud, weak compliance, poor transparency, and more.
