Recruiter

About the Role

This is an end-to-end recruitment delivery role with a strong focus on sourcing, candidate engagement, and offer management. You will be responsible for building and maintaining a pipeline of qualified candidates for active mandates managed by the Dubai team, acting as the primary point of contact for candidates throughout the process and ensuring a seamless experience from first approach through to offer acceptance.

You will also be expected to develop and manage relationships with key stakeholders — both hiring managers and internal partners — and to handle offer negotiations with candidates professionally and confidently.

Key Responsibilities

Sourcing & Pipeline

• Build and maintain talent pipelines for current and anticipated mandates across a range of disciplines and seniority levels
• Screen CVs and applications, assessing candidates against role requirements and client briefs
• Conduct initial qualification calls to assess motivation, availability, fit, and salary expectations

Candidate Engagement & Submission

• Manage candidates proactively throughout the recruitment process, providing timely updates, preparation, and feedback at each stage
• Prepare and present candidate profiles and submission packs to the Dubai team and clients in a clear, professional format
• Maintain consistent communication with active candidates to manage expectations, sustain engagement, and prevent drop-off

Offer Management & Negotiation

• Lead offer-stage conversations with candidates, including managing expectations around compensation, benefits, notice periods, and counter-offers
• Work closely with the Dubai team and clients to structure competitive offers and navigate negotiations to a successful close
• Manage post-offer engagement to ensure candidates remain committed through to their start date, reducing drop-out risk

Administration & Compliance

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate records in the ATS/CRM at all times
• Ensure all recruitment activity is compliant with ManpowerGroup policies and relevant local labour regulations
• Contribute to reporting on pipeline status, time-to-shortlist, and offer conversion metrics
