Job summary

OpenUp, a fast-growing international startup, is hiring a Talent Acquisition partner to own HQ recruitment with a focus on commercial roles. You’ll collaborate with the People team, HR and founders, using data and AI to hire the right people while building strong talent networks across the business.

You’ll experiment with sourcing channels, partner with senior stakeholders, and shape the function beyond daily tasks, including employer branding and process improvements.

Qualifications

• 5-8 years in TA, or a mix of TA and agency recruitment.
• Experience in scale-ups or start-ups; you've worked in small, less structured organizations and know how to build without a playbook.
• A strong sourcing instinct: you know your way around Boolean, X-ray and creative channels, and you don't wait on inbound to fill a pipeline.
• Confidence with senior stakeholders, pairing data with strategic thinking to guide their decisions.
• A reader of people: you pick up on motivation, energy and culture fit beyond what's on the CV.
• Curiosity about AI and automation in recruitment: you're already experimenting and genuinely excited to learn more.
• Equally comfortable across executive backfills and new role builds, sometimes both in the same week.
• Fluent in English. Dutch is a lovely bonus, never a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Run end-to-end recruitment for HQ roles, with commercial hiring as your main focus, and support on expert hiring and contributing to scaling the function.
• Lead sourcing proactively and creatively, with a strong craft for finding the right people before they come to you, building campaigns and channels, not just searches.
• Leverage AI, automation and workflows across your hiring, including managing and training the AI agents that do the heavy lifting, so your time goes where it matters most.
• Build talent communities so you're partnering with the best people on the market before a role even opens, including hosting commercial and sales events that put us in the room with them early.
• Partner closely with hiring managers, making your process transparent to them with the right data.
• Help shape the function beyond the day-to-day; employer branding, and redesigning how we hire as the craft changes.
• Deliver a strong candidate experience across all role types, even when priorities shift and timelines are tight.
• Stay ahead of what's changing in TA and bring your hiring managers and the wider People team with you.
