Job description
Based in Dubai — 100% remote. Drive proactive sourcing, tight stakeholder partnerships and seamless candidate journeys to deliver quality hires at pace.
What you'll do
• Develop and execute high-impact sourcing strategies across job boards, LinkedIn, niche communities, social media and referral networks to build strong talent pipelines.
• Act as a strategic partner to hiring managers — consult on hiring plans, role design, market intelligence and competitive salary positioning.
• Create a compelling candidate experience from first contact through onboarding: timely communications, clear expectations and strong employer-brand representation.
• Use and maintain our ATS and data tools to track pipelines, report metrics (time-to-fill, source quality, conversion rates) and continuously improve processes.
• Lead creative outreach campaigns (email sequences, social content, events) and experiment with new channels to lower cost-per-hire and speed time-to-fill.
What were looking for
• Bachelors degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field.
• 3+ years proven recruitment experience — agency background strongly preferred.
• Deep experience with ATS platforms, candidate sourcing tools and common HR systems.
• Excellent communicator with strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• Outstanding candidate assessment skills: role-fit, cultural fit and potential for growth.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver under tight deadlines.
Entrepreneurial skills that set you apart
• Growth mindset: you test, measure and iterate recruitment tactics; you treat processes as experiments with measurable outcomes.
• Commercial awareness: you understand client business drivers, can translate hiring into revenue impact and propose prioritized hiring plans that maximize ROI.
• Creative problem-solving: you design unconventional sourcing plays (events, niche communities, partnerships) to attract scarce talent.
• Ownership & bias for action: you run projects end-to-end, take initiative without needing step-by-step direction and drive results autonomously.
• Data-driven: you use recruitment metrics to make decisions, forecast needs and recommend efficiency improvements.
• Business development instincts: comfortable identifying upsell opportunities, contributing to client proposals and helping win new business.
• Resilience & adaptability: you navigate ambiguity, pivot quickly when priorities change and keep stakeholders aligned.
