Job description

Job Title: Senior Executive – Talent Acquisition Location: Dubai Internet City, UAE Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

Join a well-established IT services and outsourcing group operating out of Dubai Internet City, with a footprint spanning the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and India. The organization is part of a larger group structure backed by a publicly listed industrial conglomerate and a private equity partner focused on niche IT services businesses — giving this role exposure to hiring across multiple regional entities rather than a single standalone operation.

We are looking for a hands-on Talent Acquisition professional to own end-to-end recruitment for technical and delivery roles across our regional footprint, working closely with hiring managers, department heads, and group HR.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle recruitment — from role intake and sourcing strategy through screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and onboarding handoff — for technical, delivery, and support roles across multiple regional entities (UAE, KSA, Singapore, India).
• Partner directly with hiring managers to translate open requisitions into clear sourcing briefs and realistic hiring timelines.
• Source actively across job boards, LinkedIn, employee referrals, and niche IT/tech talent channels, building and maintaining a live pipeline rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
• Own and maintain the applicant tracking system (ATS) — accurate requisition status, candidate stage tracking, and clean data for recruitment MIS and reporting.
• Prepare and present regular recruitment metrics and hiring status reports (time-to-fill, pipeline health, offer-acceptance rates) to HR and business stakeholders.
• Coordinate pre-employment checks, offer documentation, and compliance requirements in line with UAE labor law and group HR policy.
• Support employer branding and candidate experience initiatives to strengthen the group's positioning in a competitive regional IT talent market.
• Liaise with recruitment agencies and external vendors where needed, managing cost and quality of external sourcing channels.

Skills

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 5–6 years of talent acquisition / recruitment experience, ideally including in-house recruitment for an IT services, technology, or outsourcing business.
• Proven experience recruiting for technical and delivery roles (developers, engineers, IT support, project/delivery staff) — not purely generalist or volume administrative hiring.
• Experience recruiting across more than one country or entity is a strong plus, given the group's regional structure.
• Working knowledge of applicant tracking systems (ATS) and recruitment reporting/MIS.
• Strong stakeholder management skills — comfortable pushing back on unrealistic hiring-manager expectations and managing multiple open requisitions at once.
• Familiarity with UAE labor law and visa/employment processes.
• Excellent communication skills in English;

What Success Looks Like

A recruiter who keeps requisitions moving without constant escalation — clean, current ATS data, realistic time-to-fill against role difficulty, and a sourcing pipeline that doesn't run dry between hiring pushes.
