Jisr

Jisr is a Saudi Arabia-based human capital management (HCM) platform that combines HR, talent, payroll, compliance and finance functions in a single system. Its modules cover HRIS and employee lifecycle management from onboarding to offboarding, payroll automation, time and attendance (shift scheduling, biometric devices and geo-fenced mobile punches), recruitment with AI-based candidate match scoring, benefits administration such as insurance and annual flight tickets, and employee spend management including expenses, petty cash, travel, journal hub and accounting connections.

A central element of the product is automation of Saudi labour-regulation compliance. Jisr integrates directly with government systems including Mudad for Wage Protection System filings, GOSI for social insurance, Muqeem for visa and Iqama management, and Qiwa for employment contracts, Nitaqat and training-related requirements, replacing manual work across multiple government portals. The platform also supports Saudi-mandated leave types (sick, maternity, Hajj, widow leave), overtime rules, regional public holidays and Ramadan and summer working-hour adjustments. Multi-entity and multi-location operations are supported through reusable dynamic groups and conditional workflows that route tasks, approvals and notifications automatically, and payroll data can be synchronised into a general ledger.

The company states it serves organisations with 50-3,000 employees across Saudi Arabia in sectors including technology and IT, food and beverage, retail, hospitality, construction, manufacturing, healthcare, e-commerce, marketing, consulting and semi-government entities.

Founding story

Jisr was founded by Mohammed Akkari Al-Johi, who has said the company was started in response to HR data being scattered across separate systems and to the view that HR is a local problem requiring locally built technology, noting that fewer than 5% of roughly 600,000 organisations in Saudi Arabia used a digital solution to manage their people [6].

Business model

Jisr sells a modular software-as-a-service HCM platform, marketed to companies via demo requests and product tours, with HR, finance/spend and talent suites that can be adopted as an organisation scales [1][3].

Software-as-a-service platform sold to companies; the company is described in press coverage as one of the larger SaaS businesses in Saudi Arabia [1][6][7].

Traction

The company reports more than 5,000 HR and finance teams using the platform, 850,000+ employees on the system, over SAR 10 billion in payroll processed annually, 25,000+ HR and finance admins and a CSAT score above 96%. At the time of its 2023 Series A, coverage reported over 3,000 clients, 350,000 registered employees and coverage of 16 sectors [0][1][2][5][7].

Latest developments

Following the 2023 Series A, the company launched its Talent suite in 2024 and its Spend suite in 2025, extending the platform from HR and payroll into employee expense, petty cash, travel and accounting workflows [1][2][4].
