Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to own the full-cycle recruitment process for designated business units. This pivotal role combines strategic hiring execution with data-driven reporting and employer brand amplification. The successful candidate will act as a trusted talent advisor to hiring managers, build robust candidate pipelines, and elevate the organization's reputation as an employer of choice.

Core Responsibilities

• End-to-End Recruitment Lifecycle Management: Lead the complete hiring process from workforce planning and requisition approval through sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer negotiation, and onboarding coordination for assigned business units.
• Strategic Sourcing & Pipeline Development: Design and execute multi-channel sourcing strategies leveraging job boards, LinkedIn Recruiter, employee referrals, talent communities, and direct outreach to build qualified, diverse candidate pools for current and future needs.
• Stakeholder Partnership & Advisory: Collaborate closely with hiring managers and HR business partners to define role requirements, craft compelling job descriptions, establish selection criteria, and provide market intelligence on talent availability, compensation benchmarks, and hiring timelines.
• TA Metrics, Reporting & Analytics: Own recruitment dashboards and KPI tracking including time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, source effectiveness, offer acceptance rates, diversity funnel metrics, and hiring manager satisfaction. Deliver regular insights to leadership to drive continuous improvement.
• Employer Branding & Candidate Experience: Champion employer brand initiatives — manage career site content, social media recruitment campaigns, employee testimonial programs, and participation in career fairs and industry events. Ensure a seamless, positive candidate journey at every touchpoint.
• Selection & Assessment Excellence: Design and facilitate structured interview frameworks, competency-based assessments, and evaluation scorecards to ensure fair, consistent, and predictive hiring decisions.
• Offer Management & Onboarding Transition: Partner with compensation teams to structure competitive offers, manage counter-offer scenarios, and coordinate pre-boarding activities to maximize new-hire engagement and retention.
• Process Optimization & Compliance: Continuously refine recruitment workflows, ATS configuration (e.g., Workday, Greenhouse, Lever), and documentation standards. Ensure adherence to labor laws, equal employment opportunity regulations, and data privacy requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Proven track record of successfully filling professional, technical, and leadership roles across multiple functions.
• Deep expertise in Boolean search, X-Ray search, and advanced LinkedIn Recruiter techniques.
• Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience building recruitment reports and dashboards (Excel, Power BI, Tableau, or ATS native reporting).
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing abilities — comfortable challenging hiring managers and guiding data-backed decisions.
• Fluent in English (written and verbal); Arabic fluency is a strong plus given the Egypt-based location.

• Certification in Talent Acquisition (e.g., AIRS CDR, SHRM-CP/SCP, CIPD).
• Background in employer branding strategy execution and recruitment marketing campaigns.
