You will lead recruitment initiatives, attract the best talent, conduct interviews, and manage onboarding to guarantee new employees adapt smoothly to the firm’s culture. This position requires a proactive professional capable of anticipating HR needs and aligning them with the firm’s growth objectives.

Strategic Communication & Employee Relations: Acting as the bridge between management and employees, you will promote transparency and effective communication throughout the organization. The HR & Admin Officer will manage grievances, foster a positive working environment, and ensure fair treatment in line with UAE Labour Law. Building strong, trust-based relationships with staff at all levels is a key expectation, promoting loyalty, motivation, and retention.

Government Liaison & Compliance: A major part of this position involves liaising with UAE government authorities such as MOHRE, GPSSA, MOJ, and MOI to ensure compliance with all labour laws and visa procedures. The HR & Admin Officer must stay updated with changes in employment regulations and be adept at handling visa renewals, work permits, and labour card applications efficiently, avoiding any compliance issues for the firm.
