  • Serve as key operational contact for external recruitment agencies, delivering candidate briefs, screening submitted profiles, and building qualified shortlists.
  • Draft, submit, and track Statements of Work through internal finance, commercial, and legal approval channels to prevent onboarding friction.
  • Maintain accurate recruitment dashboards, pipeline reports, and vendor tracking logs for executive review.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in recruitment coordination, talent acquisition operations, or PMO resourcing support.
  • Proficiency with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), scheduling tools (Outlook/Teams), and advanced Excel/Google Sheets tracking.
  • Practical familiarity with Fixed-Term Contract hiring processes, Statement of Work internal approval cycles, and vendor coordination.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, meticulous attention to detail, and strong multi-tasking abilities.

  • Prior experience supporting recruitment operations or talent management directly inside a bank or financial institution in the UAE/GCC.
  • Experience working within a technology consultancy or professional services environment managing embedded client resourcing.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary.
  • Comprehensive Gold Level personal health insurance.
  • Individual visa sponsorship.
