Deluxe Holiday Homes

<div>About Deluxe Holiday Homes
Deluxe Holiday Homes is a leading holiday-home and property management company based in Dubai, UAE, managing a portfolio of 700+ premium short-term rental properties across the emirate. The Deluxe Homes Group operates with ~230 people across Dubai, Fujairah, and Armenia, with Abu Dhabi and Riyadh opening next. We leverage a modern technology stack to streamline operations, enhance guest experience, and protect owner returns.
Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on, fast-moving Recruitment Specialist to own hiring across the Deluxe Homes Group end to end &mdash; from housekeepers, technicians and drivers to customer support, finance, technology and branch supervisors. You are the single point of
accountability for keeping every vacancy moving: sourcing, screening, interviewing, offers, and a clean handover to onboarding.
This is an ownership role, not a coordinator role. We need someone who makes routine decisions &mdash; which channel to use, which candidates reach the hiring manager, when to switch on an agency &mdash; and reports after, not someone who escalates and waits. If a housekeeping shift is short next Monday, you already have three vetted candidates ready.
Note: This role does not include HR administration (visas, payroll, employee relations). Those sit with the HR team &mdash; your job is filling seats with the right people, fast.
Key Responsibilities<ul><li>
Full-Cycle Recruitment</li></ul><ul><li>Run every vacancy end to end: intake with the hiring manager, job posting, sourcing, screening, interviews, offer coordination, and handover to onboarding.</li><li>Own time-to-fill per role and keep a live pipeline for every open position &mdash; no vacancy sits without movement for more than a week.</li><li>Conduct structured phone and in-person screenings against the role profile before any candidate reaches a manager.</li><li>Coordinate and schedule interviews with hiring managers across Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah and Armenia.</li><li>Report pipeline numbers weekly (roles open, candidates sourced, interviews held, offers out) &mdash; in the tracker, not from memory.</li></ul>
2. Sourcing &amp; Channels<ul><li>Source actively on LinkedIn, Bayt, Indeed, GulfTalent and niche channels &mdash; direct outreach, not just posting and waiting.</li><li>Keep the careers page (jobs.deluxehomes.com) postings current, accurate and closed when filled.</li><li>Build and maintain a warm candidate bench for our recurring roles: housekeeping, maintenance technicians, drivers, guest support.</li><li>Run the employee referral channel and keep it visible to staff.</li><li>Manage recruitment agencies for hard-to-fill roles: brief them tightly, hold them to deadlines, and cut the ones that underdeliver.</li></ul>
3. Volume &amp; Specialist Hiring<ul><li>Deliver blue-collar volume hiring (housekeepers, cleaners, technicians, drivers) at pace and to standard &mdash; including batch interview days.</li><li>Fill office and specialist roles: customer support, reservations, finance, marketing, technology, and branch supervisors.</li><li>Support branch hiring for Fujairah and Sharjah, and coordinate Armenia vacancies with the local HR Manager.</li><li>Screen for our non-negotiables: initiative, fast learning, and delivered outcomes &mdash; not just years on a CV.</li><li>Enforce the application screening question on every role and filter on it before reviewing CVs.</li></ul>
4. Process, Records &amp; Candidate Experience<ul><li>Complete reference checks before any offer is requested &mdash; no exceptions.</li><li>Keep complete, accurate recruitment records: every role, every candidate, every decision traceable.</li><li>Give every candidate a clear, respectful process &mdash; timely updates, honest rejections; they are also future guests and owners.</li><li>Prepare offer requests with full details (role, salary, start date, conditions) for HR Manager and management approval.</li><li>Improve the process every month: where candidates drop off, which channels convert, what to change next.</li></ul> 
Required Qualifications<ul><li>2&ndash;4 years of full-cycle recruitment in the UAE at a 100&ndash;500 person company &mdash; hospitality, property, facilities or similar operational business preferred.</li><li>Proven track record hiring BOTH blue-collar volume roles and office/specialist roles &mdash; you can name your numbers: roles filled, time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate.</li><li>Hands-on with LinkedIn sourcing and UAE job boards (Bayt, Indeed, GulfTalent); you source directly, not only post-and-pray.</li><li>Structured screener &mdash; you interview against a profile and can defend every shortlist decision.</li><li>Decisive operator &mdash; you make calls inside your remit and report after. We will reference-check this with previous managers.</li><li>AI tools used daily for sourcing, screening and outreach (ChatGPT, Claude, LinkedIn AI). Not optional in 2026.</li><li>UAE residency. On-site in Dubai 5 days a week, 09:00&ndash;18:00 &mdash; this is not a hybrid or remote role.</li></ul>
Preferred Qualifications<ul><li>Hospitality, holiday-homes or property-management hiring background.</li><li>Experience running an ATS and keeping it clean.</li><li>Additional sourcing languages for our candidate pools: Arabic, Hindi/Urdu, Tagalog or Russian.</li><li>Familiarity with UAE visa categories and MOHRE basics (offer-stage awareness; processing sits with HR).</li><li>UAE university graduate (UOWD, AUD, AUS, Heriot-Watt Dubai, or similar).</li></ul>
What We Offer<ul><li>Full ownership of recruitment across a 700+ property, ~230-person group &mdash; your results are visible every week.</li><li>Direct access to the HR Manager and company leadership &mdash; decisions get made, not queued.</li><li>Professional development support. 6-month probation per UAE Labour Law. UAE employment visa sponsored.</li></ul></div>
