Team:** People Location: Dubai Employment type: FullTime

We're looking for a Talent Specialist to join our team at Ziina. This is a hands-on, full-cycle recruiting role: you'll own your pipelines from first outreach to accepted offer, working with teams across the business. You'll run outbound-first searches in competitive markets, with AI tooling built into every step of the process. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a growing startup environment, brings strong talent acquisition and operational excellence, and is energized by contributing to a modern, forward-thinking talent function.

AS A TALENT SPECIALIST AT ZIINA YOU WILL:

• Run end-to-end recruiting for assigned roles, from intake to accepted offer, with a consistent, high-quality process across every team you hire for
• Deliver a candidate experience we're proud of at every stage
• Partner with hiring managers to understand what their team actually needs and turn it into a clear, realistic role profile
• Help hiring managers and interviewers evaluate well: clear scorecards, useful feedback, calibrated decisions
• Contribute to recommendations for senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
• Track your pipeline metrics, notice what is not working, and improve your own hiring outcomes based on data
• Keep recruiting systems accurate and up to date (ATS, automations, workflows), and when you see something not working in our recruiting setup, even outside your own roles, propose a solution
• Manage job boards, agencies, and other external recruitment partners day to day, and track whether they deliver value
• Look beyond your own roles: bring ideas on employer brand, candidate experience, and how we hire as a company, even where you don't own the outcome

TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE, YOU LIKELY:

• Have 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including experience in a startup environment
