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.
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
