Recruiter

Role: Recruiter

Location: Pakistan (Remote)

Work Week: Sunday – Thursday

Work Timings: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Saudi Arabian Time Zone)

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 English (C1 proficiency in English) — 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
• 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.
