Work Week: Sunday – Thursday
Work Timings: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Saudi Arabian Time Zone)
About the Role
At Soum, we’re building Saudi Arabia’s most trusted marketplace for used electronics and cars. As we grow, so does our need for great talent — and that’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a driven Recruitment Associate to join our People team and take full ownership of the end-to-end hiring process for assigned roles. From the moment a role opens to the moment an offer is signed, you’ll be the one making it happen. This is an ideal opportunity for someone early in their career who is ready to take real accountability and grow fast within Recruitment and People.
Responsibilities:
Lead sourcing and conduct screening interviews for junior-level roles — identifying strong candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and direct outreach, and running initial screening calls to assess fit.
Review and screen applications, prepare structured shortlists, and conduct initial screening interviews to assess candidate fit
Design and manage candidate application workflows, ensuring each stage is clearly defined, tracked, and moving forward
Own end-to-end interview scheduling across all stages — coordinating availability, sending confirmations, managing reschedules, and ensuring a smooth experience for all parties
Prepare application and assessment materials as needed, including role-specific screening questions and evaluation forms
Partner with hiring managers throughout the process — aligning on role requirements upfront, sharing structured feedback after each stage, and following up regularly to keep hiring on track
Maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate records in our ATS (Lever), ensuring full pipeline visibility at all times
Use AI tools daily to automate and improve recruitment workflows, including sourcing, screening, scheduling, and reporting tasks
Must-Have
Fresh graduate or up to 1 year of experience in recruitment, HR, or a related field
Excellent English communication skills, written and verbal — assessed throughout the process
Highly organised with strong attention to detail — able to manage multiple roles and deadlines simultaneously
Comfortable using AI tools as part of daily work to improve efficiency and automate repetitive tasks — this is a core expectation of the role
Proficient in Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, and Forms) and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) — used regularly for documentation, tracking, and reporting
A genuine interest in building a career in Recruitment and People
Able to work independently, manage your own time, and stay accountable without close supervision
Nice-to-Have
Prior internship or hands-on experience in a recruitment or HR setting
Familiarity with an ATS platform (any tool is fine — we use Lever)
Interest in tech, startups, or fast-growing companies
Why Soum
Real ownership from day one — you’ll run full recruitment processes, not just assist with them
You’ll develop fast in a team that moves quickly and values results
Work on Saudi Arabia’s fastest-growing used electronics and cars marketplace
A growth-stage company with strong momentum and a clear direction
Competitive compensation and a culture that genuinely invests in its people
