Senior Recruitment Consultant (Relocation to Dubai)

Mark Williams is a multi-award-winning search firm at the forefront of mid-to-senior search in the Middle East. Based in Dubai and established in 2008, we’ve been recognized with multiple accolades for our excellence in Best Practice Recruitment and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I).

Over the years, we’ve built a stellar reputation within contingent and executive search, working with Tier-1 government entities, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, and leading blue-chip companies. Our expertise lies in mid-to-senior level hires across Nationalisation, Financial Services, Technology, Strategy, and Corporate Support, and many of our partnerships have thrived for over a decade.

Who Are We Looking For?

We’re on the hunt for 360-degree agency recruiters who share our core values: Best Practice, Client-Driven, and Teamwork.

What Does That Mean?

We want high-performing recruitment professionals who:

🔹 Are Self-Starters – You know how to run a structured and efficient search process, applying best practices with a methodical approach.

🔹 Build Meaningful Relationships – You excel at nurturing and managing senior stakeholders, always aiming to develop long-term partnerships with present and new businesses.

🔹 Possess Strong Commercial Acumen – You’re driven to identify and win new business, leveraging your 360-degree recruitment experience to create new opportunities.

🔹 Can Engage With Senior Stakeholders – Given our specialisms and seniority focus, recruiters who have demonstrated success in running and delivering on senior-level searches, worked closely with executive-level hiring managers are highly preferred. Above all, we value active listeners and strong communicators who can build trust and foster long-term relationships.

🔹 Thrive in a High-Performing Team – While you’re focused on results, you also contribute to a collaborative, success-oriented environment.

🔹 Resilient – One of the most important traits of a successful recruiter. Resilience throughout the process is vital for growing as a recruiter in this region.

🔹 Are Experienced but Open to Learning – You have at least 4 years of experience in end-to-end Agency recruitment (ideally in one of our specialized sectors), but you’re always eager to refine your skills and integrate our meticulous best practices into your approach.

If you believe your fit the bill and specialise in mid-to-senior level recruitment (contingent or retained search, preferably) any of the following areas, we’d love to hear from you:

-Accounting & Finance

-Investments

-Technology

-Strategy (Consulting/In-house)
