Job description

Recruitment in Dubai runs through this position, which leads the talent acquisition function and works closely with business leaders on their hiring goals. Strategy is the starting point, with end-to-end plans that tie sourcing, screening, interviewing and offer management back to business objectives. A large share of the work centres on the applicant tracking system, so hands-on experience configuring and optimising ATS platforms such as Taleo, iCIMS or Workday Recruit matters. Sourcing campaigns draw on job boards, social media, referrals and networking, and every shortlist is assessed for quality and cultural fit. Hiring managers will look to you for guidance on role requirements and recruitment best practice. Metrics are tracked and reported to show what is working and where the process can improve. There is also a team of recruiters to lead, coach and develop. Candidates with 5-7 years of progressive talent acquisition experience, including people management, and in-depth knowledge of UAE labor laws will fit well. A Bachelor's degree in Human Resources or Business Administration, a CIPD, PHR or SHRM-CP certification, and Arabic would all count in your favour.
