About Apricot

The Role


We are looking for a proactive, full-time Recruiter to independently manage roles from intake through placement. This position requires more than processing applications - you will actively source talent, conduct strong assessments, maintain recruitment data and deliver an excellent candidate and client experience.


Key Responsibilities


  • Manage assigned roles end to end, from client briefing through onboarding handover.


  • Understand client needs and translate them into focused sourcing and assessment plans.


  • Proactively source candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals and professional communities.


  • Screen and assess candidates against clear role requirements.


  • Prepare concise, evidence-based candidate summaries and recommendations.


  • Coordinate interviews, feedback, references and offer-stage communication.


  • Maintain timely and respectful communication with candidates and stakeholders.


  • Build reusable talent pipelines across Apricot’s priority roles and markets.


  • Keep candidate records, notes, trackers and statuses accurate and up to date.


  • Flag delays or hiring challenges early and recommend practical solutions.


  • Contribute to improving Apricot’s sourcing, screening and recruitment processes.


  • Use AI tools responsibly to support sourcing, research, outreach, interview preparation and administrative work.


Requirements


  • 3 years of end-to-end recruitment experience.


  • Strong proactive sourcing, interviewing and candidate-assessment skills.


  • Experience managing multiple roles and stakeholders simultaneously.


  • Ability to distinguish genuine candidate quality from a strong-looking CV.


  • Strong written and spoken English; Arabic is highly advantageous.


  • Excellent organization, follow-through and attention to detail.


  • Comfortable working independently within a fast-moving remote team.


  • Familiarity with talent markets across MENA, North America, and Europe is highly valuable.


  • Practical exposure to tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or AI-enabled recruitment platforms.


  • AI expertise is not required, but curiosity and willingness to learn are essential.


You’ll Thrive at Apricot If You


  • Take ownership and consistently close loops.


  • Act proactively rather than waiting for detailed instructions.


  • Balance empathy for candidates with a high quality bar for clients.


  • Communicate risks early and bring possible solutions.


  • Are comfortable adapting as priorities and processes evolve.


  • Use AI thoughtfully without replacing human judgment or compromising confidentiality.


  • Genuinely connect with Apricot’s mission of creating opportunities for displaced and underserved MENA talent.


Benefits
