Senior Human Resources Recruiter

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Human Resources Recruiter to own the full recruitment lifecycle for our growing teams. Working remotely from Dubai, you will partner closely with hiring managers to attract, assess, and hire top talent across the UAE and wider region. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for a recruiter who thrives on sourcing hard-to-find candidates, delivering an outstanding candidate experience, and using data and ATS tools to keep hiring on track.

• Manage the end-to-end recruitment process — from intake and job briefing through sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer, and onboarding handover.
• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, build accurate job descriptions, and agree on realistic hiring timelines.
• Proactively source candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, referrals, talent pools, and direct headhunting.
• Screen and shortlist candidates through CV review, structured phone screens, and competency-based interviews.
• Manage and maintain the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) — keeping pipelines, candidate records, and status updates accurate and up to date.
• Coordinate and schedule interviews, gather structured feedback, and keep candidates and stakeholders informed at every stage.
• Prepare, negotiate, and extend competitive offers in line with UAE market benchmarks and internal pay bands.
• Ensure recruitment activity complies with UAE labour law and visa/work-permit requirements.
• Track and report on key recruitment metrics such as time-to-fill, source of hire, and offer acceptance rate.
• Build and nurture long-term talent pipelines for critical and recurring roles.
• Champion a positive, professional, and inclusive candidate experience throughout the hiring journey.

• UAE experience: Minimum 5 years of recruitment experience within the UAE.
• Full-cycle recruitment: Proven track record managing the full recruitment cycle end to end, ideally across multiple functions and seniority levels.
• ATS proficiency: Hands-on experience with Applicant Tracking Systems (e.g. Workday, Greenhouse, Taleo, Bullhorn, SmartRecruiters, or similar).
• Language: Fluent English — excellent written and spoken communication skills.
• Sourcing: Strong sourcing skills, including LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and direct headhunting.
• Market knowledge: Solid understanding of UAE labour law, visa processes, and the local talent market.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Experience recruiting across the wider GCC region.
• Arabic language skills (spoken and/or written).
• HR or recruitment certification (e.g. CIPD, SHRM, AIRS/LinkedIn Certified Recruiter).
• Experience recruiting in a fast-paced, high-growth, or agency environment.
