Geert-Jan Waasdorp (50) is a serial entrepreneur, investor and proud talent-intelligence dude who’s spent his career turning data and tech into recruitment gold. As the driving force behind Intelligence Group, he has positioned the company as Europe’s leading authority on international labor markets, recruitment, and recruitment marketing—helping businesses unearth the best talent on the planet and recruit smarter than their competitors.
But that’s just Chapter One. Geert-Jan also pours his energy into ventures like Werf&, Academie voor Arbeidsmarktcommunicatie, Arbeidsmarktkansen.nl, RecruitAgent.ai, and The Talentpool Community—all aligned under the common mission of building a stronger, smarter, talent-savvy ecosystem in the Netherlands and beyond. Everything connects: from training and content to data-powered recruitment tools, he’s truly living and breathing talent intelligence.
He’s no stranger to the stage either—published author, highly sought-after speaker, and proud graduate of the Executive OneMBA at Rotterdam School of Management (RSM).
When he’s not optimizing algorithms or delivering keynotes, you’ll find him scheming the next breakthrough over a perfectly strong espresso.
