Dubai, AE (On-site)1 open job
UAE-based talent advisory firm running executive and mid-to-senior recruitment across the Middle East, plus UAE National career and recruitment services.
OpenTap Talent is a UAE-based talent advisory and recruitment firm that works with organizations across the Middle East. The practice runs on three lines: executive search, mid-to-senior talent search, and UAE National recruitment services. For candidates, the part that matters most is the mid-to-senior track - the firm reports an average shortlist time of 10 days and an average of 30 days to fill a vacancy, and it holds a candidate database of more than 4,000 professionals.
Sourcing and screening are technology-assisted: candidate sourcing and candidate assessment are the two technical domains the firm names, combined with regional and sector knowledge on the advisory side. The stated goal on the employer side is placing professionals who contribute to strategic growth and business transformation rather than simply closing headcount.
A separate line of work covers UAE Nationals, including career counseling, resume-building support, and candidate engagement - part of a broader focus on Emirati career development. OpenTap Talent has partnerships with Dubai World Trade Centre and the RU'YA 2024 career fair.
The firm is led by former Fortune 500 business leaders with operating experience at IBM, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Mastercard, Honeywell, and Rockwell, and describes its mission as applying that senior leadership experience to recruitment. Founding year, team size, and funding are not disclosed.
