Overview
This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company.
We are currently looking for an Executive Search Partner in United Arab Emirates.
This role sits at the heart of global talent acquisition, focusing on identifying and engaging senior and executive-level leaders across technology-driven and fast-scaling international businesses.
You will manage full-cycle executive search processes, from defining sourcing strategies to closing high-impact leadership hires in competitive markets.
The position requires a strong mix of research, outreach, stakeholder management, and negotiation skills, with a heavy emphasis on passive candidate engagement.
You will collaborate closely with hiring leaders to shape hiring strategy, calibrate profiles, and ensure a high-quality candidate experience.
Operating in a fully remote, globally distributed environment, you will work across multiple regions and time zones.
This is a high-ownership role where your market insights directly influence leadership hiring outcomes and organizational growth.
Accountabilities
- Own end-to-end executive search processes, including search strategy design, sourcing, candidate engagement, shortlisting, interviewing coordination, offer negotiation, and final closure of senior and executive roles.
- Build and maintain strong talent pipelines and market maps across key functions, leveraging proactive outreach, referrals, LinkedIn Recruiter, and targeted sourcing strategies.
- Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, calibrate candidate profiles, and ensure structured, consistent, and high-quality interview processes.
- Conduct market intelligence, compensation benchmarking, and competitor analysis to support hiring decisions and offer positioning.
- Track recruitment KPIs, improve time-to-hire and candidate experience metrics, and ensure high data quality and compliance within ATS systems and relevant regulations.
- Coach and influence hiring managers on best practices in executive hiring, including diversity-aware sourcing and structured evaluation frameworks.
Requirements
- 5-7+ years of hands-on executive search or senior-level recruitment experience, ideally in in-house talent acquisition or retained search environments.
- Proven success in closing mid-to-senior and executive roles (Director, VP, or C-suite level) in competitive talent markets.
- Strong experience recruiting for technology, digital, or high-growth sectors such as SaaS, marketplaces, fintech, gaming, or similar environments.
- Solid understanding of global talent markets, with exposure to EMEA hiring and familiarity with CIS or international tech ecosystems.
- Strong stakeholder management, negotiation, and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders effectively.
- Proficiency in sourcing tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter), ATS platforms, and data-driven recruitment practices.
- Highly organized, autonomous, and comfortable working in fast-paced, distributed, and remote-first environments.
Benefits
- Fully remote work opportunity with global flexibility
- 28 calendar days of annual vacation
- 7 wellness days per year for personal rest and recovery
- Annual learning and development support, including 50% reimbursement for training and conferences
- Corporate discounts for English language learning programs
- Health-related financial support or insurance compensation up to $1,000 annually where applicable
- Home office or coworking setup support and equipment provision depending on location
- Internal reward system with bonuses, perks, and redeemable team incentives
- Employee referral bonuses of up to $5,000 for successful hires
