Update: 15th August
Thanks to Matt for the following small update from Ausiello. Additionally, It looks like the casting audition description mentioned earlier was a typo and Arthur is indeed a man.
Question: Still six months of hiatus before Lost comes back. Can you help us to survive the waiting with some scoop?— Fran
Ausiello: New character alert! The show has started casting the recurring role of Arthur Stevens, a very tall and thin corporate recruiter who is smart, capable and ruthless. "He may smile and his words may sound soothing," reads the casting notice, "but their effect can send chills up your spine."

I've just found the casting call for this role and Arthur which states that Arthur is a female???? Is this a typo? I'll try to find out more.
Arthur Stevens
40 - 60, Female. All ethnicities. Tall/Thin.
Start Date: August 20th, 2007
Location: Hawaii
Sounds like a Dharma man to me. Who would you like to see play this role?
Also appearing in 401 and 402, with possibly more eps down the line, is Arthur Stevens. He is a ruthless corporate recruiter, tall and thin, with a chilling prescence.
