Talent Acquisition Specialist, Long-Term Partnership Opportunity

About MSTR

MSTR ( ---------- ) is an AI software company based in the Netherlands and an Anthropic partner. We build custom AI software for Dutch businesses, run programs that bring AI into daily use, and ship our own products.

We are 20+ people, with a customer-facing team in the Netherlands and a remote development team in the Philippines. We are growing to 30+ people this year, and recruitment is now one of our most important processes.

This is a long-term career opportunity

We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career with us, not find their next gig. We invest in our people's growth and increase responsibility as you develop.

Location and type

• Remote
• Full-time, 40 hours per week, 14:00 to 23:00 Philippine time (overlapping with Netherlands business hours)
• Long-term contractor position

What you will do

You build and run our recruitment, from first outreach to a new hire's first months with us, for both the Philippine and the Dutch side. You work with the leadership team, who do the final interviews.

• Keep vacancies ---------- on OnlineJobs, JobStreet, LinkedIn and Kalibrr, and A/B test job posts to see what works
• Source and screen: run large-scale outreach on LinkedIn (partly automated) and handle first screenings
• Run the interview flow: plan interviews with the leadership team and keep candidates informed at every step
• Look after people after they join: run our buddy system and monthly check-ins with every team member
• Manage referrals: run our referral program and track where the best hires come from

What we are looking for

Must-have:

• 2+ years of recruitment experience, preferably for tech or IT roles
• Organized and comfortable with high volume
• Excellent English communication, written and verbal, with a warm and direct style
• You care about people staying, not just joining

Nice-to-have:

• Experience recruiting for Dutch or European companies
• Experience with recruitment automation or an ATS
• HR or onboarding experience
• Experience using AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT in your work

AI tools are welcome. We are an AI company. If you use Claude, ChatGPT or similar tools to write vacancies, screen CVs, prepare interviews or automate outreach, tell us how. We would rather hire someone who uses AI well than someone who avoids it.

What we offer

• Long-term partnership: we are investing in your future with us
• Direct impact: every hire you make shapes the team for years
• A clear growth path: a buddy, monthly check-ins and room to grow into a broader people role
• Continuous learning: work at an Anthropic partner, with Claude as part of your daily work
• Freedom to propose: if something should be done differently, we want to hear it
• Flexible remote work
• A team that moves fast and takes quality seriously

How to apply

IMPORTANT: We assess candidates primarily through video responses. Please do not apply without submitting a video.

Step 1: Create a short video (3 to 7 minutes)

Record yourself answering these 5 questions:

1. Tell us about yourself: Briefly introduce yourself and how you got into recruitment.
2. A hard-to-fill role: Tell us about a role you struggled to fill. Where did you look, and how did you find the right person?
3. Keeping people: Tell us about a new hire you helped settle in, or one who left early. What did you learn about why people stay?
4. AI in your work: How do you use AI tools in recruitment today, or how would you? Where would you not trust AI to make the call?
5. Your next role: What would you like to achieve in your next role? Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years?

Video guidelines:

• Length: 3 to 7 minutes in total
• Production: no need for professional quality, we want to see the real you
• Authenticity: it's fine to use AI to prepare, but talk to us in your own words. Please don't read from a script.
• Language: English (this assesses your communication skills)
• Format: any video format is fine (MP4, MOV, etc.)
• Hosting: upload to Google Drive, Dropbox, YouTube (unlisted) or similar
