Recruitment Specialist 2026

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.
