Senior Human Resources Specialist | Emiratization

About

- Are your Emiratisation vacancies still open while deadlines are closing in? - Do new joiners arrive without full readiness on Day-1? - Is your HR team spending hours on paperwork instead of driving results? Who I am? I’m Leena Alzaabi, a Senior HR Officer with 15+ years of experience in the UAE across government and private sectors. I grew from recruitment support roles to leading full HR cycles, from sourcing and onboarding to compliance with UAE labour law, DOH/JCI, and WPS payroll. My career shaped me into someone who values not only speed in hiring, but also accuracy, compliance, and people-first processes. How I can help you? I help companies close Emiratisation vacancies faster, streamline onboarding for Day-1 productivity, and stay audit-ready. I build clean HR systems—standardised checklists, structured interviews, HRIS data accuracy, and compliance dashboards—that allow leaders to focus on strategy while I handle the process. My track record: - Reduced onboarding cycle time by 15% with unified checklists. - Achieved 96% pre-employment document completion before start dates. - Registered UAE Nationals with Abu Dhabi Pension within 10 days. If you’re scaling in the UAE/GCC and need an HR partner who blends speed, compliance, and people-centric processes let’s connect.
