Are you a resilient, driven recruitment consultant who thrives on owning client relationships end-to-end and closing deals, not just filling desks? KinFitz & Co. is a boutique recruitment firm operating across the UAE and the wider GCC, partnering with a growing base of clients who return again and again rather than for one-off vacancies. We're a small, close-knit team that moves fast, and we're now looking for an experienced consultant to join us and take real ownership of client relationships, not just deliver against a brief someone else has sold. What's in it for you? - Salary open, dependent on experience - Direct reporting line to the founder, with real autonomy from day one - A small, senior team (no layers of management) - We have become genuinely AI-native; you'll be expected (and supported) to use tools like Claude daily. We use this to INCREASE human connection, not decrease it, though. So if you are a recruiter trying to reduce output by using AI, we aren't for you. But if you are curious about technology and utilise it to be more productive, you'll enjoy the environment. What will you be doing? - Managing the full recruitment cycle, from client brief through to candidate placement - Owning direct client relationships and dealing with hiring managers professionally and consistently - Sourcing, screening, and presenting shortlists of genuinely suitable candidates - Managing your own pipeline against a clear run rate, and knowing where you need support and where you don't - Adapting your approach between proactive and reactive market conditions (The UAE market is always changing, we work together to figure out what's working today) - Staying consistent through the ups and downs, recruitment is a rollercoaster and we need someone who can stay on an even keel What do you need? - 2 to 3 years, minimum, of recruitment experience specifically in this market (UAE/GCC), non-negotiable - Proven direct client contact, you need to already be dealing with hiring managers yourself, not coached into it - Comfortable working perm recruitment - Resilient, structured, and self-disciplined; a background in sport or fitness is a bonus - Experience specifically in sales or GTM recruitment is a nice-to-have, not a must-have - Based in the UAE, fluent in English Don't worry if your CV isn't up to date. Share your LinkedIn profile and we'll take it from there. You can also reach me directly if you'd like to find out more.
