Founders/CEOs: grote kans dat de kloof tussen je commerciële ambitie en product/tech realiteit groeit. 

We zien het in onze scans, audits en due diligence en merken het aan de vragen die we krijgen van Founders/CEOs, CFOs en Product/Tech leads. 

Waar het de voorgaande jaren juist beter werd, zien we sinds ongeveer één jaar  een terugval; meer onzekerheid binnen bedrijven die tech gebruiken, maken of verkopen. 

⚖️ Aan de ene kant: Founders/CEOs die zich gegijzeld voelen door de product/tech situatie. Die niet snappen waarom het allemaal zo moeilijk is. Er wakker van liggen maar wel door moeten. 

⚖️ Aan de andere kant: Product/Tech leads die niet over de bühne krijgen waarom bepaalde dingen langer duren, meer kosten of onzeker zijn.

De ironie? Iedereen gaat harder. AI versnelt alles. Maar we zien dat die snelheid de kloof in sommige gevallen alleen maar groter maakt. Voor start-ups vaak prima—maar voor bedrijven die wat verder zijn een groot risico.

Textkernel - Semantic Recruitment Technology

I head the Data & Quality team at Textkernel. Our team is responsible for all knowledge that flows through our products and assesses the quality of this data as well as the quality of its influence on our products. We lead annotation projects, conduct relevancy audits and build a data structure that contains (lexical) information about job titles, skills, locations and other HR domain related knowledge. I enjoy writing tools to expand, maintain and test this knowledge, as well as empowering my team members to get the most out of themselves.

Team lead Data & Quality

I test and maintain parts of our knowledge base and write tools to facilitate these processes. I also extend our knowledge base with data mined from the resumes and vacancies that are processed by our products. I have experience setting up testing through continuous integration as well as writing scripts in Python and Perl to facilitate manual quality assessments (such as annotation projects). I have an active role in our team, I like to be a bridging element between teams and present our work within the company and to customers.

Data & Quality Analyst

I expand the range of tools to test knowledge files and set up a knowledge base that supports our search engine.
