Why Tabbio exists
Most qualified people are invisible. A recruiter spends seconds on a PDF, and screening software filters half of them before a human ever looks. So you keep ten versions of your CV, all slightly wrong, and none of them get read.
The PDF CV is dead. Tabbio replaces it with one link that's actually you.
The story, from the founder
I spent 12 years on the hiring side in Abu Dhabi. I kept rejecting good people for bad CVs. Their CV was a PDF that died in an inbox, and I watched that happen for years.
So in 2026 I built the opposite. One CV at your own link. You fix it once, and that's the version everyone reads.
The first version was ugly. Over 20,000 people signed up in the first month anyway, because the idea worked. Everything since has come from posting. Zero ads.
Days go to HR. Nights go to Tabbio.
Founded in the UAE by an Emirati.
What we believe
Verified beats clever.
A CV is only worth what a reader trusts. Tabbio is the first CV platform verified with UAE PASS, government-grade identity, so a recruiter knows the person is real.
Built for the Gulf.
Real Arabic, not a translation. Built for how hiring actually works here. UAE first, then the Gulf, then the wider Middle East and North Africa.
Honest numbers.
We name the catch when there is one. We'd rather tell you "2 recruiters viewed you this week" than promise you the moon.
Free carries the product.
Your CV, your link, your job search. The paid step is one thing: an agent that runs the hunt for you.

The team
Tabbio is built by a small team in the UAE, led by Ahmed.
Ahmed AlDhraif founded Tabbio in the UAE with one conviction: Gulf professionals deserve a CV that shows their real skills, not a static PDF.
A CIPD-certified HR practitioner with an MBA, Ahmed has reviewed more than 1,000 CVs and run 200 interviews, at organisations from Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi to Silal. He built Tabbio to give that experience back to every jobseeker, and today over 23,000 people use it to build and share their CVs.
