The brief

A technology group headquartered in Dubai needs a Head of TA for EMEA covering 1,100 hires a year across five countries. The team exists (14 recruiters); the operating model, the data and the hiring-manager relationship do not.

What you will own

  • Own EMEA hiring delivery: 1,100 roles/year across five countries
  • Rebuild the operating model — sourcing, ops, and a real analytics layer
  • Introduce AI-assisted screening with documented human oversight
  • Raise hiring-manager satisfaction from 62% to above 80%

What we are screening for

  • Led a 10+ recruiter organisation against a four-figure annual target
  • Multi-country EMEA delivery, ideally including the Gulf
  • Genuine analytics fluency — you build the dashboard, not request it
  • Fluent English; Arabic a plus, not required

The process

Consultant review within one business day, then a 45-minute conversation with Kamen, then client interviews. Nothing reaches the client without your written approval, and every declined candidate receives written feedback.
