Recruitment Coordinator | Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah

As a Recruitment Coordinator at the iconic Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah, you are the architect of the candidate journey. You will provide essential support across the entire recruitment lifecycle, ensuring that our inclusive hiring practices and legendary brand values are felt at every touchpoint. This is a fast-paced, high-impact role where you will bridge the gap between talented applicants, Hiring Managers, and Department Heads.

Key Responsibilities

• Candidate Journey Management: Act as the primary point of contact for all applicants, providing professional and warm communication while ensuring a seamless interview experience.

• Coordination Excellence: Manage the end-to-end logistics of shortlisting and interview scheduling—from calling candidates to liaising with the broader Recruitment Team.

• Talent Screening: Conduct initial screenings and pre-interview assessments to identify high-caliber talent that aligns with Waldorf Astoria’s standards.

• Administrative Ownership: Draft and post up-to-date job descriptions across multiple platforms and maintain the integrity of our recruitment database (ATS/Taleo).

• Onboarding Collaboration: Work closely with the Human Resources team to ensure a smooth, accurate, and timely transition from candidate to new team member.

• Data Integrity: Maintain meticulous records of recruitment activities, including interview notes, reference checks, and candidate documentation, ensuring full compliance with local labor laws.

• Process Innovation: Identify and implement best practices to streamline recruitment workflows and enhance the overall candidate experience through active feedback loops.

• Market Awareness: Stay updated on luxury hospitality trends and emerging recruitment technologies to keep our hiring strategies competitive.

What Are We Looking For?

• Experience: 2–4 years in a luxury or ultra-luxury hotel environment, with a proven background in HR or recruitment operations.

• Technical Proficiency: Confidence in using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), with a strong preference for Taleo.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage professionally with senior Department Heads.

• Organizational Mastery: The ability to manage multiple requisitions and high-volume schedules simultaneously without losing attention to detail.

• Discretion: A high sense of confidentiality and integrity when handling sensitive candidate information.

• Brand Spirit: A genuine passion for people and a proactive mindset focused on delivering a “consistent, high-quality” experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience in high-volume recruitment within a large-scale luxury hotel.

• Proficiency in additional languages is a significant advantage in our multicultural Dubai environment.

Strategic Tips for this Application

• The “Ultra-Luxury” Standard: In Dubai’s competitive market, Waldorf Astoria competes for the best talent globally. Highlight your ability to handle high-volume recruitment while maintaining individualized care for each candidate.

• ATS Mastery: If you have used Taleo, put it at the very top of your skills section. It is specifically mentioned as the preferred system and is a major technical gatekeeper for Hilton.

• Onboarding Focus: Note your experience in the transition from signed offer to first day. In Dubai, this involves visa processing and relocation logistics—mentioning your familiarity with these “operational requirements” will be a plus.

• Cultural Fit: Mention your commitment to Inclusive Hiring. Hilton places a massive emphasis on diversity and inclusion as part of their global mission.
