    Recruitment Associate | Irwin & Dow

    Employment:

    Full Time

    To be successful in the role of the Recruitment Associate ( a 1 year fixed term contract), it is expected that you will be degree educated and possess a minimum of 2 years of recruitment and talent acquisition experience, with a preference for those within the professional services sector. You will be accustomed to a fast paced and heavily deadline driven environment and therefore, those who are self-motivated, hardworking and pro-active should apply. Exceptional communications skills in English are required and Arabic fluency is a distinct advantage. The successful candidate will undertake many support functions to assist the Recruitment Manager and act as the main point of contact for candidates, interviewers and operational team members. You will develop strong relationships with all involved and will communicate effectively at all times. Part of the role will also ensure that a keen eye for detail is maintained, with up to date information and progress fully tracked on the internal CRM. As a large recruitment strategy is in place for the next year, the role of the Recruitment Associate will also involve the scheduling of interviews both regionally and internationally and to ensure that all associated documents are available on the day. Additional support will also be given to the onboarding process for new recruits and interaction with the training teams and wider recruitment function to ensure all logistics are in place.

    Please note that this role is initially for a fixed term contract of 1 year. However, due to the global reach of the organisation, a position in this company will be a gateway into the professional services sector for those wishing to progress.

    In 1969, when we at Commercial Bank of Dubai started out little did we know that sheer grit and determination would get us where we are today. An Emiri Decree issued by His Highness the Late Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the founder of modern Dubai, laid the cornerstone of Commercial Bank of Dubai. We started out as a joint venture of Commerzbank, Chase Manhattan Bank and Commercial Bank of Kuwait. A minority stake was held by a few UAE businessmen.

    By 1982, little more than a decade later, we evolved into a National Public Shareholding company. A feat complimented by an exponential increase in the capital base and mammoth restructuring of our operations. The feather in the cap came when the Government of Dubai became a key shareholder.

    Over the decades, we have transformed ourselves into a progressive and modern banking institution. We are supported by a sturdy financial base and reigned by a strong and stable management. The proof of which lies with our customers who have stood by us over the years. More
