About Our Client

Our client is a leading online trading firm specializing in Forex and CFD markets, serving clients across the UK with a strong focus on providing seamless, technology-driven trading solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Recruitment delivery Manage end-to-end recruitment from sourcing and screening through offer, joining and onboarding.
• Proactively headhunt experienced Retention and Conversion Sales candidates through LinkedIn, referrals, databases, professional networks and direct approach.
• Conduct candidate screening, coordinate interviews with hiring managers, manage offers and negotiations, and follow through to a successful start date.
• Build and maintain live talent pipelines for recurring roles so vacancies are filled from a warm pool rather than started from zero.
• Team leadership Manage and guide in-house recruiters, allocate vacancies across the team and set clear priorities.
• Monitor recruiter KPIs and hiring targets, and coach the team on sourcing technique, screening quality and candidate handling.
• Calibrate with hiring managers so the team screens consistently against an agreed standard.
• Reporting and data Maintain recruitment trackers, talent pipelines and source-effectiveness data.
• Build and present monthly recruitment reports to senior management and the executive team — pipeline volume, conversion by stage, source effectiveness, time to fill, cost per hire and month-on-month movement.
• Present findings clearly to a numbers-focused audience: lead with the headline figures, show the funnel drop-off, and explain what the data means for hiring decisions.
• Flag where rejection patterns point to a role definition, market or offer problem rather than a sourcing one, and recommend the fix.
• HR and onboarding support Support basic HR administration and onboarding documentation.
• Coordinate with HR and the PRO on visa, documentation and joining formalities.
• Ensure new joiners are properly handed over to their department on day one.

Requirements

• Currently based in the United Arab Emirates.
