• Build talent pipelines for current and future vacancies

What We Are Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of recruitment or talent acquisition experience
• Experience recruiting across multiple business functions and levels
• Proven experience sourcing and headhunting candidates directly
• Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills
• Ability to distinguish between a strong CV and a candidate who is genuinely capable of succeeding in the role
• Ability to make clear candidate recommendations rather than simply presenting applications
• Previous agency recruitment experience is highly desirable
• UAE recruitment market experience preferred
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, founder-led environment
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability and professional judgement

What Success Looks Like

• High-quality candidate shortlists

This role is offered on a fixed-term basis for an initial period of 3 to 6 months and may be extended based on business requirements and performance.

If you are an experienced recruiter who takes pride in identifying exceptional talent and delivering successful hires, we would like to hear from you.
