About Techy Recruiter
Techy Recruiter is a boutique talent consultancy working with startups across the Middle East and Europe. We are not a CV agency. We design hiring processes, run recruitment end to end, and build People Ops functions from scratch. AI and automation sit inside everything we deliver, not in the sales pitch.
We are small, founder led, and growing on the back of one thing: quality of delivery. You would be one of the first people shaping how this company works from the inside.
The role
You will build and run People Ops. Most of your time goes to our anchor client, a funded Saudi startup where we act as their full People function. The rest goes to building Techy Recruiter itself.
The split looks like this:
Client delivery (about 70%)
Write and roll out HR policies, the employee handbook, and attendance systems
Build KPI structures and performance review cycles with department leads
Design and run employee satisfaction surveys, then turn results into action
Support hiring and offboarding processes so they are fair, documented, and consistent
Prepare for and join weekly syncs with client leadership
Building Techy Recruiter internally (about 20%)
Create our onboarding playbook. New team members should ramp in days, not weeks
Write instruction templates and how we work docs so knowledge stops living in one head
Set up contractor agreements and internal process basics
Systemizing (about 10%)
Every client deliverable you build becomes a reusable template. The handbook you write for one client becomes the foundation for the next. You are building a library, not one-off documents
Who does well here
We hire on attitude first. Two traits matter more than anything on your CV:
You own things and you never go silent. When something breaks, you say so within 24 hours. You ask for help early instead of disappearing into a problem. Bad news delivered fast is respected here. Silence is not.
You move fast without cutting corners. You care about craft. You use tools and automation to work smarter, not to skip the thinking. Done well and done quickly are the same goal, not a trade off.
If you recognize yourself in both, keep reading.
What you need
3 to 6 years in HR, People Ops, or a generalist people role
You have built at least one process from nothing: a handbook, an onboarding flow, a review cycle, anything that did not exist before you
Strong written Arabic and English. You will write documents people actually read
Comfortable working remotely with structure you partly create yourself
Organized in tools like Notion. Your documentation is something you are proud of
What makes you stand out
Experience working with Saudi or GCC companies, remotely or on the ground. Knowledge of Saudi labor practices is a real plus
Genuine curiosity about AI tools. You do not need to be an expert. We will teach you a stack most HR teams have never touched. We need you to want to learn it
Startup or agency experience where you wore more than one hat
Work conditions
We practice what we sell to clients, so this is straightforward:
Contractor agreement, remote, full time capacity
Paid monthly in USD against your invoice
$500 to $650 USD per month depending on experience, with a written compensation review at 90 days
Flexible hours with core overlap from 11:00 to 16:00 Cairo time
21 working days off per year plus Egyptian public holidays. Yes, as a contractor. That is the point
30 days notice, both ways
After 6 months and continued company growth, we open the conversation about formal employment
Full access and training on our AI and automation stack: Claude, Notion, Ashby, Fireflies, n8n and more
Occasional travel may come later, fully covered
Your first 30 days have one fixed deliverable: the Techy Recruiter onboarding playbook. It is how we will onboard everyone after you, and it is how we will know you can build process, not just follow it.
How we hire
Use AI to help with your application if you want. We build with AI daily, so we'd be the last to judge. But we read every answer, and generic gets rejected. Specific beats polished here.
Screening call (30 min). Your background, your questions, honest answers about the company stage
Working session (60 min). A real scenario from our client work. No trick questions, no free labor. We want to see how you think
Founders round (45 min). Attitude and ways of working, with Tarek our Founder
Offer. Decision within 3 working days of your final round. We tell you either way
We respond to every applicant. If it is a no, you will hear it from us, not from silence.
