Talent Acquisition Manager Full Time

Are you searching for a rewarding Talent Acquisition Manager Job in Dubai with a forward-thinking organization? Handle is seeking experienced HR professionals to lead recruitment strategies, talent sourcing initiatives, and workforce planning activities. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in Talent Acquisition Manager jobs in Dubai, recruitment manager careers, HR management roles, executive search positions, staffing solutions careers, and human resources opportunities in the UAE. The role offers valuable exposure to employer branding, leadership hiring, talent pipeline development, recruitment analytics, and strategic workforce planning, making it an excellent opportunity for professionals seeking leadership growth in human resources.

What you’ll own

You will lead end-to-end recruitment for mid-career professionals across business consulting, financial analysis, financial modelling, and M&A, with solid experience behind them. You will also build and manage Handle’s pool of professional associates: freelance consultants and subject matter experts across sectors including manufacturing, infrastructure & AI, healthcare, supply chain, renewable energy & clean technologies, and food security, who we can call on for project-based work to scale delivery without overextending the core team. Expect this to be a genuine 50/50 split between permanent hiring and building the flexible team, from day one.

Beyond Handle’s own hiring, you will also support client mandates directly: helping our clients recruit for their own teams, or coaching and guiding client-side teams to run their recruitment processes successfully on time. You do not need prior hands-on experience in every one of these functions; what matters is that you can learn the substance of each role well enough to evaluate, source, and sell it convincingly.

Who we are looking for

Experienced recruiting professional within or for the professional services industry (consulting, advisory, banking, or similar) is important. You understand how these professionals think, what motivates a move, and where to find them. Beyond that, we care less about a specific number of years and more about whether you are genuinely resourceful: someone who finds a way to reach and hire the candidates, through the channel or angle each situation calls for. A working network in the UAE/GCC market is a plus but not a requirement; visa and labour law details can also be taught. Arabic is an advantage but is absence is not a showstopper.

You will do well with us if you are

Practical and down-to-earth, comfortable picking up the phone and building systems and relationship. Organized enough to run multiple live searches and a growing associate pool at the same time, without anything falling through the cracks. Driven by outcomes, you measure yourself by hires made and gaps filled, not effort deployed.
