About RecruitMe Plus

RecruitMe Plus is a boutique Executive Search, Recruitment, and Talent Advisory consultancy headquartered in Dubai, serving organizations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider GCC and Middle East.

We partner with CEOs, founders, boards, and HR leaders to solve critical hiring challenges through Executive Search, Professional Recruitment, Talent Advisory, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), and Employer of Record (EOR) solutions.

We believe recruitment is far more than filling vacancies.

We believe exceptional recruiters become trusted advisors who understand businesses, challenge hiring assumptions, build meaningful relationships, and influence hiring decisions that shape organizations.

Our culture is built around ownership, integrity, curiosity, continuous learning, and genuine care for both clients and candidates.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys understanding businesses, solving complex hiring challenges, building long-term relationships, and continuously improving through technology, AI, and international recruitment best practices.

You will work directly with the Founder & CEO, receiving continuous coaching while enjoying significant autonomy and ownership.
