Recruiter

Role: Recruiter

Role Overview:

We're looking for a 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

• Run recruitment for 5-6 concurrent open roles: sourcing, screening, interview scheduling and moving candidates through to offer.
• Join intake meetings with hiring managers to understand role needs, must-haves and the interview process.
• Source actively on LinkedIn and other channels to build healthy, diverse pipelines, not just rely on inbound applications.
• Run first-round screening calls and write clear, structured candidate summaries for hiring managers.
• Coordinate interviews and feedback so processes keep moving without delays.
• Give every candidate a fast, respectful and transparent experience, whatever the outcome.
• Keep the ATS (Lever) accurate and up to date: pipeline stages, notes and candidate status.
• Contribute to employer branding to strengthen Soum’s presence as an employer of choice in the region.

Requirements

• At least 1 year of recruitment experience, in-house or agency. Exposure to startups, scale-ups or tech/marketplace businesses is a plus.
• Hands-on sourcing experience and comfort reaching out to passive candidates.
• Familiarity with the Saudi/MENA hiring market is a strong plus.
• Experience with an ATS (Lever preferred).
• Strong organization and follow-through: you can juggle several processes without dropping details.
• Clear, confident communication with candidates and hiring managers.
• Fluent English required; Arabic required for close collaboration with the Riyadh team.
• Comfortable working remotely, eager to learn, with a strong bias for action.

What Success Looks Like

Open roles filled with strong, culture-aligned hires.
Hiring managers find you responsive, organized, and easy to work with.
Pipeline data in Lever is always accurate, with no surprises in the weekly hiring review.
Candidates consistently describe the process as respectful and well run, whatever the outcome.

Why Join Soum

●Real ownership over your recruiting pipeline from day one.

●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.
