Senior Recruiter
About this role
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.
\nWhat 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
● 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
● 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
● 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
