Founder & CEO Recrout

Karim Akhlal

Recrout is an innovative, Dutch, HR-tech organization founded in 2015. We develop data-driven matching and selection technology. Our software is developed on the foundation of objectivity and supported by data and smart algorithms.

 

As founder, I ask myself every day where we as an organization fit within this world, does the world benefit from our existence, do we add something to people’s lives? We believe we do.

 

What we know for sure is that with our team and our partners we are changing the world of recruitment. To make processes more objective and to help people and organizations become even more successful.

 

That is our goal, every single day.

An organization without a mission is an organization without a soul

Our Core Believes

INTELLIGENCE Our technology is designed to create the best objective fit for your business

INTEGRITY: We believe in having strong moral principles when it comes to doing business. A deal is a deal

IMPACT: Making impact is more than just achieving a predefined result, it is about contributing to a fundamental social change in a long term perspective

INCLUSIVITY:We believe that every individual has its own strengths, and therefore creating a divers and talented team will contribute to your company success

Our Mission

Our unique, unbiased technology helps our customers to predict the best matches based on validated data and smart algorithms. We enable organizations to intelligently select candidates who are best able to contribute to the success of their organization

Our products bring candidates and organizations together in a way that is free of bias and prejudice, allowing everyone's unique talents to shine and organizations to thrive.

That's the goal we strive for, every day.

Our Vision

We believe that the future of work equals a fair and more inclusive society, where everyone has the opportunity to realize their full potential.

As far as we are concerned, recruitment is about looking objectively at who is best able to contribute to business goals. That's the bottom line.

Without discrimination based on race, age, gender, religion, quotas, or any other form of discrimination. And certainly not on the basis of old-fashioned resumes.

Recrout Unbiased Hiring

Discover our story and the team committed to our mission every day:

Creating an intelligent and equal labor market

The story of Recrout begins in 2011 when founder Karim Akhlal, working as a mediator at the time, found it increasingly difficult to select reasoned new hires. Existing systems had no focus on an objective process, but mainly on storing and processing old-fashioned resumes.

 

After the umpteenth frustration of making choices based primarily on gut feeling, he decided to change course. The matching between people and organization had to change.

 

It was the start of a brand new way of thinking. Together with various partners, several concepts were launched with success. For example, the Recrout matching platform was nominated the best recruitment tool in the Netherlands.

 

Our goal remains to create an intelligent and objective labor market where talents and competencies are the most important aspects of each candidate, therefore Recrout introduces the successor to the traditional ATS.
