About Us
We believe every person deserves a fair shot at the right job — and every company deserves to find the right person without wasting months trying.
Hiup was born out of a simple frustration — too many talented people couldn't find the right job, and too many companies couldn't find the right people, despite spending weeks and thousands of euros trying.
Built by Olive Group, an EdTech company with deep roots in content production and digital learning, Hiup bridges the recruitment and upskilling worlds in a single platform. We realised that the best way to fix recruitment is to fix the skills gap at the same time.
Today, Hiup powers hiring for thousands of companies across Ireland, the UK, and beyond — while helping hundreds of thousands of job seekers find roles that match not just where they are, but where they want to go.
Four principles that guide every product decision we make.
Job seekers will never pay to use Hiup. This is a founding commitment, not a marketing claim. Our business model depends on employers, not workers.
We don't use manipulative design, fake urgency, or deceptive defaults. Transparent, honest experiences — for both recruiters and job seekers.
Every AI decision on Hiup is explainable. Candidates can see why they were scored as they were. Recruiters can audit every AI recommendation.
We value demonstrated skills over credentials and pedigree. Our platform is built to help the right person get the right job — not just the most expensive CV.
The people building a better future for work.
