What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or hybrid Talent Acquisition and HR opportunities where I can manage full-cycle hiring, build strong candidate pipelines, support UAE hiring priorities, and contribute to a positive candidate experience.

I run full-cycle hiring for client companies and internal teams, from job scoping and sourcing through screening, interviews, offers, and onboarding handover. I build targeted candidate pipelines through LinkedIn, job boards, and professional networks.

I've supported Emiratisation and youth-career initiatives, maintained accurate recruitment reporting, and coordinated closely with hiring managers. Alongside my Business Analytics studies at UOWD, I bring employer-branding experience and fluent Arabic and English communication.
