At iTalent we refer to ‘Full life cycle recruiting’ as to managing and orchestrating the entire hiring process from start to finish, and something we are very adept at, having undertaken this for many companies based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. It is also referred to as ‘life cycle recruitment’ and ‘end to end recruitment’. Full life cycle recruiting consists of several rigorous stages, starting with the requirement for a new employee and ending with onboarding of the selected candidate.
We have put together this handy guide below, and in this guide we describe each of the stages involved in the life cycle recruitment process and answer a few frequently asked questions that companies looking to hire in the Middle East often have.
Common main stages of end-to-end recruiting for your firm that we undertake:
1. What is the ideal candidate for you?
The first stage of end-to-end recruitment is to define the ideal candidate persona or type for your business. It is critical to understand what the hiring manager’s requirements are when it comes to finding the right candidate for a desired position that has become available. What skills, previous education, characteristics, and work history experience does the perfect job candidate need to possess? Once the ideal candidate has been defined, you can characteristics, we then proceed with drafting a job description that attracts the perfect candidate for the open position.
If you want to know more about this stage then get in touch with us at iTalent Recruitment to gain a deeper insight on how we define the skills, knowledge, and abilities (KSAs) required for an employee to perform their job successfully.

There are many ways we source great job candidates, such as posting a job description on job boards or career websites, advertising internally, or conducting a employee referral programs internally.
3. Screening candidates
This stage of life cycle recruiting applies to screening potential job candidates by deeply reviewing their resumes, skills, backgrounds and work history experience to see if they match the requirements of the vacant position that our clients have specified. We also actively screen candidates by conducting one-on-one phone interviews before meeting selected candidates in-person.
4. Candidate selection
Selecting the best equipped and most appropriate candidate for the vacant job position is the most fundamental part of the full life-cycle recruiting process at iTalent as a candidate’s resume can only reveal so much, so it is imperative that we meet with the person to determine if their characteristics, skills, and work history experience match what they’ve put in their CV.
5. Hiring candidates
Once the interviews are complete, we have finalized the ideal candidate that match your available positions, it’s time to make a job offer by sending them a formal job offer documents.
6. Onboarding your candidate
Lastly, onboarding your selected candidate is very important stage in the life cycle recruiting process and ensures that they are orinatated in your company well and get up to speed fast. Onboarding takes time and commitment with the goal being to make the new employee feel welcomed by their new co-workers, and to help them fit in with the company culture for a successful end to the life cycle recruiting process.
