Say goodbye to costly middlemen and hello to top talent - commission-free. With OpenTalent, companies can skip expensive recruiters and directly connect with top professionals across Europe, all fee-free.
We launched OpenTalent in 2021 with one goal: to build a thriving community of Europe’s best talent and enable companies to connect with them directly - without recruiter fees. Think of it as D2C for Talent Acquisition.
Since then, we’ve built a powerful platform and community that brings companies and professionals together. In 2022, we interviewed over 150 in-house recruiters to understand their hiring challenges. The insights were clear: Direct Sourcing was their #1 preferred channel, with predicted usage growth of 50%+ from 2022 to 2023. This confirmed what we already believed - Direct Sourcing is the future of recruitment.
Our platform empowers companies to access Europe’s top talent - without spending thousands of euros in commission fees.
