About Talent Sherpa

Companies often face challenges scaling their teams, whether it’s not having the need for a full time TA team or not having the funds to utilize specialist recruitment agencies. Talent Sherpa offers innovative solutions;

✅ Fractional TA - subscribe to a world-class Talent Acquisition team for as long as you need, perfect for mass/constant hiring needs

✅ Utilize our market knowledge, talent pool and niche expertise for one-off hires, using our retained model

Established in 2023, we have had a tremendous start to our journey, with a number of companies partnered with us, in Dubai, Riyadh, London, Belfast, San Francisco. Though we’re registered in the UAE and UK, we are a fully remote company.

About the role

The sourcing team is the heart of Talent Sherpa. No two weeks are the same. One week, you could be looking for a CTO for a startup in Dubai, the next you could be working directly with a startup in the US on a mass hiring project. But what will stay the same? Your hunger and passion to source, attract and manage top talent, from all over the world.

You will:

• Source and attract top talent from all over the world through innovative and effective sourcing strategies (LinkedIn recruiter is just the start - we love to use other methods for sourcing too - and no, not job boards!)
• Mainly source candidates within technology, product and design at all levels, but may be exposed to other roles too (e.g. finance, marketing)
• Be responsible for building a strong talent pool within software engineering and product design, with this being our most in demand roles
• Manage the candidate through the entire recruitment process, providing exemplary candidate experience

We're looking for people with:

• An exceptional eye for talent, and innovative ways of finding them
• Proven success sourcing/delivery/talent acquisition, with 1-2 years experience working in an agency or internal setting (better suited for 180-recruiters)
• A background in tech, product or design recruitment, but equally comfortable to work in other sectors 
• A go above and beyond attitude, whether it’s for our candidates or our clients

What would we love (bonus)?

• Someone who has hired for startups before, either internally or in an agency setting
• Someone who has exposure to the Middle East market

The finer details

This position will be a 6-month rolling contract, with a strong potential to become permanent. This position will be a full-time remote position, however you will need at least 5 hours crossover with GST time during the working days (Monday-Friday, 9-5 OR 10-6 UAE time).

Why choose Talent Sherpa

We’ll be real with you…we’re a startup. We can’t offer benefits like the big boys do, but here’s what we can offer:

• Work with talented professionals at some of the most exciting startups / tech companies in the Middle East, UK and USA
• 25 days holiday per year (pro-rata’d) + public holidays in country of residence
• Individual L&D budget and ample growth opportunities - you’ll be joining us early in our journey
• Home office allowance (other than company laptop of course)
• Quarterly bonus (based on your performance and company performance)
• Humans first, employee second - if you’re not healthy, our company will not be healthy. You have full autonomy of your day, whether you need to do the school run or want to go play golf in the middle of the day. All we ask is for 5 hours crossover in GST time and for the work to be done by the end of the day!
