8vance is proud to rank in the 2024 Technology Fast 50, a list of the fastest-growing tech companies in the Netherlands.

8vance is launching a roadshow to present its new skills gaps functionality, helping companies match talent to roles using 12,000 unique skills.

Recent research by the Public Space Foundation highlights the impact of AI on recruitment and talent management within HRM. Key findings include enhanced talent matching and the need for collaboration to leverage AI opportunities.

The rise of AI technology in Europe offers great opportunities, but inconsistent regulation creates barriers. 8vance has signed an open letter, along with other tech industry leaders, calling for clear, harmonized regulations. Our AI training relies entirely on anonymized data, but GDPR uncertainty makes it necessary to continually explain our best practices.

Volgens Laurens Waling van 8vance hoeft er helemaal geen krapte te zijn op de arbeidsmarkt. De oplossing zit volgens hem in het deep-matchen met AI van mensen op skills, zelfs over vakgebieden heen. Hoe 8vance op die manier mensen helpt te navigeren van zogenaamde bull shitbanen naar meer betekenisvolle banen. Hij legt uit waarom we een fundamentele shift van denken moeten maken. Waarom we een ‘zachter systeem’ nodig hebben, waarin mensen meer risicovolle keuzes durven maken. Én hoe je met deep-matchen met AI je voordeel kunt doen als corporate recruiter of HR-directeur.

Amy Oerlemans is commercial director of Kloet Maintenance in Vlaardingen. She and her brother are the fourth generation in the 100-year-old family business. A few years ago, Amy suddenly received a phone call that fundamentally changed the way she perceives her employees. The daughter of one of her employees, Mr Da Silva, called asking her to fire her father because he could no longer keep up his work. Mr Da Silva was a crucial employee for Amy: “There was Da Silva on our facade, so to speak, instead of Kloet. Having to fire this iconic employee would really be a slap in our face.”
