Senior Recruiter

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Egypt.

📋 Description

• Take charge of the full-cycle recruitment process for 5–8+ open positions simultaneously — including sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, negotiating offers, and closing candidates.

• Collaborate with hiring managers to accurately define roles, establish success criteria, and create interview processes tailored to the seniority and function of each role.

• Proactively source candidates through LinkedIn and various channels to develop robust, diverse candidate pipelines, rather than solely depending on inbound applications.

• Conduct structured, high-quality interviews and deliver hiring managers with clear, well-founded candidate evaluations.

• Oversee the candidate experience from start to finish, ensuring every candidate — whether hired or not — experiences a prompt, respectful, and transparent process.

• Maintain the Applicant Tracking System (Lever) in a clean and up-to-date manner — ensuring accurate pipeline stages, notes, and reporting for visible hiring status.

• Assist in employer branding initiatives to enhance Soum's reputation as a preferred employer within the region.

⛳️ Requirements

• 2–3 years of experience in full-cycle recruitment, ideally including in-house recruiting for a startup, scale-up, or tech/marketplace business.

• Demonstrated success in hiring across various functions (e.g., Tech, Operations, Commercial) independently or with minimal oversight.

• Strong sourcing abilities — capable of building candidate pipelines from the ground up, rather than merely managing incoming applications.

• Experience recruiting within the Saudi/MENA market, or a solid understanding of regional hiring dynamics, is highly advantageous.

• Hands-on experience with ATS systems (Lever preferred).

• Strong stakeholder management skills — adept at advising hiring managers, pushing back when necessary, and driving processes with minimal supervision.

• Fluent English is required, and proficiency in Arabic is essential due to close collaboration with the Riyadh team.

• Comfortable working remotely and independently, with a strong inclination towards taking initiative.

🏝️ Benefits

• Genuine ownership of your recruitment pipeline from the outset.

• Direct access to a dynamic leadership team.

• A People function that is actively developing career pathways, leveling, and processes — you will have the opportunity to shape it, not just implement it.

• A culture that prioritizes speed, autonomy, and outcomes over hours worked.
