AI & Media Talent Acquisition Specialist - Recruitment
Job Description
About Robot24
Robot24 is an AI-native media company building at the frontier of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence. We are not a traditional company. Every person we hire uses AI as a core part of how they work — not as an afterthought. We move fast, build from scratch and make decisions quickly.
About the Role
We are building AI-native teams across media, content, technology and creative production. We need a recruiter who has been inside this world — not someone who has read about it.
You will own hiring for roles that sit at the intersection of AI, media, content creation and technology. The people you hire are AI-native creators, engineers, analysts and strategists who use tools like Claude, Midjourney, Runway, ElevenLabs, Perplexity, n8n and Make as core parts of their daily output.You know what genuine AI fluency looks like — and you know immediately when someone has just added tools to a CV without ever building anything with them.
This is a build role. There is no existing process. You will create it.
What You Will Do
Own end-to-end recruitment across AI, media, content, creative and technology functions
Source and assess candidates for highly specific AI-native roles — narrative producers, video creators, visual designers, distribution leads, growth and analytics specialists, intelligence researchers, and AI/ML engineers
Evaluate candidates on actual AI tool fluency — verified through portfolios, workflow demos, work samples and practical outputs, never self-reported skills alone
Build structured hiring pipelines and processes from scratch
Partner directly with founders on every hire — no layers, no committees
Define what AI-fluent means for each specific role and design screening criteria accordingly
Maintain a live pipeline of AI-enabled media and tech talent
Use AI tools yourself daily to source, screen and move faster
Requirements
Minimum 5 years in talent acquisition with a clear focus on tech, AI, media or creative roles — evidenced in your career history, not stated generally
Demonstrated experience hiring for AI and ML roles — explicitly evidenced, not inferred from general tech experience
Experience hiring across at least two of: AI/ML engineering, software development, automation, content production, video production, social media, visual design, growth marketing, data analytics, creative technology
Has built or scaled a hiring function from early stage — you know what structured recruitment looks like when no structure exists yet
Personally uses AI tools daily — ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Runway, or equivalent — as part of your own workflow
Can review a portfolio, an AI workflow demo, a video output or a content sample and assess real skill versus surface-level usage
Minimum two relevant roles held for 2+ years each in tech, AI or AI-enabled media recruiting
Dubai-based or able to relocate immediately
Fluent English required
