Head of Recruitment Ops
About this role
About Qureos
Hiring is broken, slow, expensive, inconsistent, and painful for candidates and companies. Qureos is fixing that.
We're building the future of hiring: faster, fairer, and powered by AI + beautifully structured processes.
We help companies hire in days, not months, while delivering a world-class candidate experience at scale.
If you love solving hard operational problems, designing smooth hiring journeys, and running high-volume recruitment like a win-machine, you’re going to feel at home here.
The Role
We’re looking for a Head of Recruitment Operations who can own and scale the entire delivery engine of Qureos across sourcing, screening, assessments, shortlisting, and candidate experience.
You will manage an existing team from day 1, optimize what works, rebuild what doesn’t, and design operations that can scale from 100 → 300+ hires per month across UAE, GCC, and global markets.
Think of this role as part strategist, part operator, part “I can fix this in two days” leader.
A balanced mix of fun startup energy + serious operational rigor.
What You’ll Do
Own the full recruitment delivery cycle
Oversee sourcing, screening, assessments, and shortlisting across mixed seniority roles
Maintain exceptional candidate experience throughout the hiring journey
Ensure every shortlist delivered to clients feels fast, accurate, and high-quality
Scale high-volume hiring operations
Manage and expand the operations team based on performance and demand
Build SOPs, workflows, and QC processes that ensure consistent output
Handle 100–300+ hiring volume per month across multiple markets
Be deeply data-driven
Track sourcing channel performance and optimize for CAC
Build dashboards for visibility across each stage of the funnel
Prioritize channels and processes based on performance, not hunches
Improve speed & efficiency
Ruthlessly reduce time-to-hire and fix bottlenecks across the pipeline
Improve conversion rates between every step of the recruitment process
Ensure SLA adherence across all client mandates
Manual first → then automation
Operate manually to validate what actually works
Then collaborate with product and engineering to automate smartly
Move toward a tech-enabled recruitment engine that compounds over time
Own experience for candidates & clients
Deliver an end-to-end hiring process that candidates love
Ensure shortlist quality stays consistently high
Elevate client satisfaction, repeat business, and trust in Qureos delivery
Your KPIs
You’ll drive and be measured on:
Time to hire
Sourcing channel performance & CAC
Candidate experience (NPS/CSAT)
Quality of shortlist & accuracy of matching
SLA adherence
Stage-by-stage conversion rates
Offer acceptance rate
Client satisfaction & repeat business
If these KPIs make you excited rather than nervous, you’re our person.
Who You Are
5–7 years in recruitment operations, talent acquisition, or high-volume hiring
Strong background in sourcing, screening, assessments, and candidate engagement
Numbers-obsessed, you prioritize sourcing channels like a growth analyst
Hyper-focused on reducing time-to-hire and improving every stage of the funnel
Experienced in high-volume, multi-market operations
Comfortable running ops manually before automating
Skilled at building exceptional candidate experiences
A natural operator: structured, calm, process-oriented, and fast-moving
You think in systems, run on data, and execute with ownership
Bonus: experience in marketplace or fast-growth environments
Tools & Systems
You will work across:
The Qureos platform
