BSL is seeking an

experienced Recruitment Specialist to lead IT and

technical hiring across contracts in Qatar. This is a

hands on, delivery focused role for someone used to running a

live requisition load at pace, managing multiple vacancies

concurrently, sourcing and engaging passive technical talent and

building pipelines that hold up against demanding, time

sensitive customer hiring timelines. The successful

candidate will act as the trusted point of contact for

their hiring managers, not just filling roles, but owning

the relationship, anticipating pipeline risk and being

someone the client can rely on to tell them the truth

About Market Conditions And Timelines. This Role Directly

impacts contract margins and is responsible for negotiating

candidate offers in a way that protects margin without

compromising BSL’s ability to win and retain talent.

Own end-to-end recruitment

delivery for assigned technical vacancies across BSL

contracts.

Roles And Responsibilities

Build and run direct sourcing strategies, headhunting, market mapping, networking and referrals to engage passive technical talent across local, regional and international markets. Maintain live, active pipelines against forecast and in year demand, not just open requisitions. Act as the primary trusted contact for assigned hiring managers, providing proactive, honest updates on progress, risk and market conditions. Screen and assess candidates against technical and competency based criteria, coordinating interviews and managing candidate experience throughout. Work with full visibility of applicable rate cards and contract margins for assigned vacancies, using this to inform sourcing strategy and candidate targeting from the outset not just at offer stage. Escalate early where market rate expectations conflict with contract rate cards, proposing options (banding, package structuring, role scoping) rather than simply reporting the gap. Understand BSL’s commercial model well enough to explain, where appropriate, how candidate pay rate, invoice rate and internal costs interact and protect that structure in every negotiation. Flag any pattern of margin erosion across a role type or client account, not just individual cases, so pricing or sourcing strategy can be adjusted. Support offer negotiation, security clearance/vetting coordination, onboarding and mobilization. Maintain full, accurate recruitment records in Zoho Recruit in real time. Operate within each respective jurisdictional labor law, government contract governance and BSL recruitment compliance standards. Contribute to market intelligence, salary bench-marking, talent availability and competitor activity to support workforce planning conversations with clients. Identify opportunities to extend BSL’s footprint within existing contracts, additional roles, adjacent departments or scope growth and flag these commercially rather than treating them purely as requisitions. Manage a high volume, concurrent vacancy load without loss of pace or accuracy.
