AF10632 – Recruitment Specialist | Centralised Recruitment | Dubai, UAE

:: About the Business:

Al-Futtaim’s centralised recruitment team is a special place to work and, we think, a unique in-house recruitment team in the Middle East.  We take pride in managing our own sourcing without agencies, we measure everything we do, we use the LEAN recruitment process to prevent waste and we carry a huge workload which we share and manage.  We are highly systems and process driven and rely heavily on initiative, consistency, intelligence, discipline and good technology to save money, time and effort. Our team comes from the UK, Uzbekistan, New Zealand, India, Philippines, Canada, Australia, Syria and the USA, we speak Arabic, English, Russian, French, Hindi, Malayalam, Telug, Tagalog, Ajami, Tamil, Farsi, and Turkish.  In our first year of operations, 11 of us recruited 2,049 people and we won the Middle East HR Summit Award for the best HR Initiative in the Region.  In 2011 our team of 16 recruited 3290 people into our business. This is a team of dedicated hands-on, professional recruiters and is not for sales experts, the faint-hearted or those looking for an entry point into the HR profession.

:: About the Job:

We are looking to recruit an experienced Recruitment Specialist to join our team. Reporting to the Recruitment Team Leader, you will be responsible for recruitment of multiple positions across all levels.

Working alongside the line mangers and HR professionals, your role will be to:

• Take accurate details of current vacancies
• Design and implement a recruitment strategy
• Write job adverts
• Source CV’s using our candidate tracking system – Sniperhire
• Conduct market-mapping and head-hunting for specialist roles
• Screen candidates
• Arrange interviews
• Conduct testing
• Interview potential employees
• Offer recruitment and salary advice
• Negotiate salaries
• Write offer letters
• Arrange documents for visa processing

You will be expected to build relationships with our hiring managers and HR Business Partners.  You will use our systems, processes and technology to their best effect, make suggestions for continuous improvement and will assist other team members when they have higher priorities than yours.

:: About You:

 To be seriously considered suitable for this role, you must have recruitment experience either from an agency or an in-house team.  We are not looking for someone who has worked in an HR role with recruitment as one of their many duties looking to use this as an entry point into an Al Futtaim HR role.

You must be passionate about recruitment as a profession and want to be part of the team long term.  You must be a listener and note-taker, analytical (in thought and practice), a committed team member and a hands-on worker who lives for getting quality results.  We need someone who can set aside process habits and quickly orientate themselves to what we do and how we do it.

We’ll be delighted if you have any exposure to or understanding of how LEAN recruitment works, but if you don’t we’ll gladly show you.  You will need first class skills with the Microsoft Office suite of products and you absolutely must have used at least one e-recruitment platform as a recruiter.
