This role is NOT for internal recruiters.

This role is NOT for delivery consultants.

This role is NOT for candidates new to the UAE or KSA markets.

If your strength is winning business, opening doors, and closing retained mandates, keep reading.

The Role

TalentHive is hiring a Senior Recruitment Consultant Business Development to aggressively grow our retained and exclusive search portfolio across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

This is a 100% business development role.

You hunt. You originate. You close.

Delivery is handled by dedicated teams.

What You'll Be Doing

• Winning retained and exclusive recruitment mandates across the GCC
• Leveraging existing relationships with C-suite, HRDs, Heads of Talent & Business Leaders
• Selling retained search, project hiring, and key account agreements
• Building a strong BD pipeline across our core verticals (Tech, Oil & Gas, Energy, FMCG, BFSI, Construction & Aviation)
• Owning the client relationship from the first conversation to signed terms
• Representing TalentHive in senior commercial discussions, not transactional hiring

Non-Negotiable Requirements

You must have:

• A recruitment agency background with a clear BD focus
• Proven success in winning retained or exclusive mandates
• Significant UAE and/or Saudi market experience
• Existing live client relationships in the region
• Confidence selling at the senior/executive level
• A genuine hunter mentality

Why This Role

• Pure BD no delivery distractions
• Remote-first with full flexibility (Dubai-based)
• Strong brand across multiple high-value sectors
• Proper support from delivery teams
• Uncapped, meaningful commission (not token percentages)
• Long-term opportunity to build a retained client portfolio

Compensation

• Base: Up to AED 25,000 (experience dependent)
• Commission: Uncapped, aggressive, and designed for serious billers

Final Note

If you're an agency-side BD professional who's spent years building relationships in the UAE / KSA, and you want a role where origination is rewarded properly, this is for you.

If not this won't be the right fit.
