• Ensure consistent pipeline coverage across priority roles and clients
• Use advanced sourcing techniques including LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search,

• Share market insights and candidate feedback to improve hiring outcomes
Skills & Experience Required
• Proven experience in tech recruitment (software, data, cloud, or cybersecurity)
• Strong background in 180 / sourcing-led recruitment environments
• Experience mentoring, guiding, or informally leading junior recruiters or sourcers
• Strong knowledge of Middle East tech hiring is highly desirable
• Excellent sourcing capability (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, direct outreach,
talent mapping)
• Strong communication and candidate engagement skills
• High-energy, resilient, and performance-driven mindset
• Ability to balance personal delivery with supporting a small team
Why Join Us
