Qualiphi bought virtual career platform Career Club from iCareer in H2 2025. The startup plans to expand AI-based career services across MENA.
Egyptian HR tech startup Qualiphi has acquired Career Club from iCareer.
The deal was valued in the six figures and closed in the second half of 2025.
Qualiphi says it will use the acquisition to scale AI-powered career services across the Middle East and North Africa.
Qualiphi, founded in 2025 by Nevien Magdy, runs a Career Services Management platform. It is software that helps universities and career centres manage student career support in one place.
The platform uses AI, meaning it uses software models to automate tasks like recommendations and matching, similar to how streaming apps suggest what to watch.
Career Club was originally built by iCareer as a virtual career centre. It was designed to connect educational institutions with employers and make career support easier to deliver online.
Qualiphi said Career Club has been used in programmes run by organisations such as the International Labour Organization, UK Aid, and Germany’s GIZ.
Career platforms are becoming a bigger part of education and hiring across the region as graduate numbers rise and employers push for job ready skills.
Qualiphi’s product flow takes students from self assessments to courses, CV coaching, and then job placement. It also lets employers publish courses and hire top performers, which turns career support into a more direct hiring pipeline.
Qualiphi plans to expand its services with career guidance tools, skills development, CV improvement features, and digital job fairs. It also plans to onboard 15 more Egyptian universities in 2026 and expand into two additional GCC countries.
The company says it has supported more than 500,000 students in Egypt and worked with universities in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, including Egypt’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and Ain Shams University.
More platform consolidation could follow as HR and talent startups compete to become the default systems for universities, employers, and youth employment programmes.
