Senior Recruiter

Role: Senior Recruiter

Location: Egypt (Remote)

Work Week: Sunday - Thursday

Work Timings: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Saudi Arabian Time Zone)

Role Overview:

We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to own end-to-end hiring for a portfolio of open roles across the business. This is a full-cycle recruiting role - from intake to offer - for someone who can run a high volume of searches independently, build strong relationships with hiring managers, and bring structure and speed to how we hire.

Language Requirement: Fluent Arabic and English (C1 proficiency in English) - both are essential for this role

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruitment for 5-8+ concurrent open roles - sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closing
• Partner with hiring managers to scope roles accurately, define success profiles, and design interview processes suited to role seniority and function
• Source proactively across LinkedIn and other channels to build strong, diverse candidate pipelines - not just relying on inbound applications
• Run structured, high-quality interviews and provide hiring managers with clear, well-substantiated candidate assessments
• Manage the candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring every candidate - hired or not - has a fast, respectful, transparent process
• Keep the ATS (Lever) clean and current - accurate pipeline stages, notes, and reporting so hiring status is always visible
• Support employer branding efforts to strengthen Soum's presence as an employer of choice regionally

Requirements

• 2-3 years of full-cycle recruitment experience, ideally including in-house recruiting for a startup, scale-up, or marketplace/tech business
• Proven track record hiring across multiple functions (e.g., Tech, Operations, Commercial) independently or with light oversight
• Strong sourcing skills - confident building pipelines from scratch, not just managing inbound
• Experience recruiting for the Saudi/MENA market, or strong familiarity with regional hiring dynamics, is a strong plus
• Hands-on ATS experience (Lever preferred)
• Solid stakeholder management - comfortable advising hiring managers, pushing back where needed, and driving process with minimal supervision
• Fluent English required & Arabic is a requirement given close collaboration with the Riyadh team
• Comfortable working remotely and autonomously, with strong bias to action

What Success Looks Like

• Roles filled with strong, culture-aligned hires - not just fast, but right
• Hiring managers trust you to run their searches with minimal hand-holding
• Clean, current pipeline data at all times - no surprises in the weekly hiring review
• Candidates consistently describe the process as respectful and well-run, regardless of outcome

Why Join Soum

• Real ownership over your recruiting pipeline from day one
• Direct exposure to a fast-moving leadership team
• A People function that's actively building out career ladders, leveling, and process - you'll help shape it, not just execute it
• A culture that values speed, autonomy, and results over hours logged
