We’re looking for a Contract Recruiter to join our dynamic global Talent Acquisition team in Dubai and support a defined hiring project. This is a project-based engagement.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end recruitment for the project’s open roles, from intake through sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer, and close.
• Partner closely with hiring managers and senior stakeholders to understand role requirements and offer strategic guidance that supports informed hiring decisions.
• Build and execute sourcing strategies to attract high-quality talent across the globe.
• Conduct market analysis and share insights on talent pools, salary benchmarks, and hiring trends.

• Track and report on recruitment metrics, using data to optimize your pipeline and meet project deadlines.
• Deliver an excellent candidate experience throughout the hiring process.
• Maintain accurate and timely records in our applicant tracking system.
• Provide a clean handover of pipelines, documentation, and learnings at the end of the project.

What You Need For This Role

• 5+ years of experience in talent acquisition, ideally with a track record of delivering results in fast-paced environments.
• Proven experience managing high-volume or multi-role hiring projects to tight deadlines.
• Confidence working autonomously and taking accountability for outcome, but also working together with a team and collaborating across projects.
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and advise stakeholders.
• Fluency in English.
• Solid understanding of the EMEA and APAC talent market.
• Experience working with diverse teams and cultures.
• Ability to think both strategically and tactically, balancing project goals with day-to-day execution.
• Immediate or short-notice availability.

What Will Make Us Really Love You

• You thrive on teamwork but also bring a driven, goal-oriented spirit.
• You have a positive attitude and appreciate the growth that comes from challenges.
• You are coachable and can take on and implement feedback quickly.
