About The Position

Calo is an app providing personalized meal plans for busy people through nutritional algorithms, built with love by chefs, nutritionists, and software engineers. Launched in Bahrain in 2019, we have since expanded to 7 countries, delivered millions of meals to our customers, and are now expanding our mission of making healthy easy to retail and other verticals. We're on a noble mission to make healthy easy. We think this is one of the most important problems to tackle in our world today. We have global ambitions - no small thinking here. At Calo, we believe that how we hire is just as important as who we hire. As we continue to scale across markets, functions, and teams, Talent Acquisition plays a critical role in shaping our growth, culture, and long-term success. This role sits at the heart of that mission. You’ll be responsible for building high-quality teams by delivering an exceptional candidate experience, partnering closely with hiring managers, and ensuring we attract talent that aligns with Calo’s values, pace, and ambition. From first touchpoint to onboarding, you’ll help ensure every interaction reflects who we are as a company. We’re looking for an experienced, people-centric Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our TA team and support Calo’s continued growth. This role is hands-on, fast-paced, and highly collaborative, with exposure across multiple functions including corporate, operations, product, tech, and retail. This is a remote role, based in Lebanon. You’ll own end-to-end hiring for assigned roles, act as a trusted partner to hiring managers, and contribute to continuously improving how we hire at scale, all while keeping empathy, clarity, and candidate experience at the core.
