Hire interns on talent, not on who they know.
NKTA is the internship platform for Saudi Arabia. AI ranks every applicant by match score, writes a short note on each CV and checks it against your listing. Every CV is free to open, and one click answers everyone.
Invite-only for now. Founding companies use NKTA free for a limited time.

HRSD interview rules, DLA Piper 2025And yet, this is still how most companies hire interns:
01
CVs everywhere
Applications arrive by email, WhatsApp and referrals. HR sorts them by hand.
02
Picked by connections
The seat often goes to whoever knew someone, not the best fit.
03
Nobody hears back
Most applicants never get an answer. That is how students remember your company.
