Luxury Retail Recruitment Consultant (Intern)

We are looking for a Recruitment Intern to join our Luxury Retail recruitment team in Dubai.

This is a hands-on role working alongside an established recruitment team supporting some of the leading luxury fashion, jewellery, watches and beauty brands across the Middle East.

You’ll be involved in real recruitment from the start. Researching the market, identifying candidates, approaching people, speaking with them, understanding their backgrounds and supporting the team throughout the recruitment process.

It’s important to be clear about the environment.

We work at a fast pace, expectations are high and the workload can be demanding. Priorities change quickly, deadlines matter and you need to be comfortable managing several things at once.

This is also a five-day-a-week, office-based role . We work together as a team from the office and this is not a hybrid position.

For someone who is ambitious, switched on and genuinely wants to learn recruitment, there is a huge amount of exposure and opportunity to develop.

What you'll be doing

• Researching the luxury market and identifying potential candidates
• Sourcing and approaching candidates across different platforms
• Speaking with candidates and understanding their experience and career motivations
• Supporting the team across live recruitment assignments
• Coordinating interviews and keeping recruitment processes moving
• Building your knowledge of luxury brands, competitors and the wider Middle East market
• Maintaining candidate information and providing day-to-day recruitment support
• Gradually taking on more responsibility as your experience develops

You should be someone who:

• Communicates confidently and enjoys speaking with people
• Is naturally outgoing, positive and comfortable starting conversations
• Has a strong work ethic and takes ownership of what they are given
• Can handle pressure and work to deadlines
• Is organised and able to manage multiple priorities
• Learns quickly and doesn't need to be constantly chased
• Is comfortable working in a target-driven environment
• Wants to develop, take on responsibility and build a career

This isn't an internship where you'll spend your time observing from the sidelines. You'll be part of the team, working on real assignments and learning how recruitment actually works in one of the most competitive sectors in the region.

For the right person, there is also the opportunity to build a longer-term career with us.
