What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading end-to-end talent acquisition where I can build ATS-enabled processes, drive diverse high-volume hiring, improve candidate experience, and influence HR strategy and compliance.

I am a talent acquisition leader with over 8 years of experience primarily in the Oil & Gas sector and major Saudi projects, delivering hundreds of hires across 30+ nationalities and levels up to C-level.

I specialize in ATS implementation, headhunting, recruitment strategy, compensation and grading system design, and large-scale volume hiring while ensuring compliance with Saudi Labor Law and strong candidate experience.

My achievements include implementing leading ATS solutions, reducing time-to-hire, driving 90%+ candidate satisfaction and 85%+ offer acceptance rates, improving vendor SLAs, and building diverse, high-performing teams across corporate and operational functions.
