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.

Job description

At OpenUp, our mission is to make mental well-being accessible to everyone. Following a 'high tech & high touch' approach, we support companies, their employees, and their families with proactive and practical mental health services. Through our digital platform, clients can access 1:1 check-ins, online courses, articles, videos, group sessions, mindfulness practices, and a team of committed mental well-being experts. As we believe that mental and physical well-being are deeply connected, we have also added Lifestyle Experts to our offering, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and sleep. We offer a truly holistic approach that helps people take ownership of their health. We're proud to work with forward-thinking organizations and are committed to raising the bar on accessible care.

OpenUp was ranked in the Top 3 on LinkedIn's Top Startups list for 2023, 2024 & 2025 and is continuously growing. We are expanding our international teams and we are searching for like-minded talent. We are already serving 2000+ companies (e.g. Rituals, Deloitte, Decathlon, KPMG, and McDonalds), through which 600K+ employees have access to our product.

About the role

You'll join an ambitious People team who genuinely does meaningful work. You work closely with your TA colleagues, HR and hiring managers across the business, including the founder and MT members and report directly to the Chief People Officer.

What you'll do

• 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.

About You

You're motivated by a fast-paced, international startup environment, and your values align with our mission: openness, a genuine motivation to help others, and the ambition to perform and build something meaningful. You thrive where no two days look the same, and you're driven to use data and technology to make recruitment sharper and more human.

What you'll bring

• 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.

What you can expect

Joining OpenUp means being part of a fast-growing company that's doing something meaningful. You'll work with a diverse and international team. We like to have fun together with a lot of team building activities like our weekly 'borrels' and after work sport classes, the yearly ski-trip and our Padel tournament. Which makes our work fun, challenging and dynamic. Apart from this, we offer:

• ClassPass: OpenUp contributes towards your classpass membership
• Monthly home internet/phone contribution (50EUR)
• Daily healthy and vegetarian lunch at our office.
• Regular office yoga, meditation classes or breathing exercises
• Flexible work model (hybrid and options for remote work).
• Monthly drinks and company wide summer fest and other fun activities.
• 27.5 vacation days per year.
• Free and unlimited access for you and your family to all our products, including our psychologists.

At OpenUp, everyone is welcome to apply regardless of age, gender, background, nationality, or any other characteristic. What matters to us is high performance, a real drive to make an impact and the ambition to become the European market leader. If you're ready to OpenUp, join us!
