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.
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
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
