We have millions of roles to fill — but we struggle to find, grow, and keep the right people.
At the American Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands (AmCham) event, “The Talent Equation,” we tackled this head-on.
AI is already transforming how we recruit, promote, and retain talent—but only if we use it wisely.
From legally sound frameworks to real-world use cases, our expert speakers brought insight and clarity:
🧠 Soeradj Ramsanjhal unpacked the EU AI Act and what it means for employers.
🤖 Femke van Logtenstein – van Nieuwenhuizen and Matthijs Werkman showed how AI can streamline recruiting—without losing the human touch.
🚀 Nikki Brouwer- Machielsen and Hester van Oene revealed how AI can help spot hidden talent and strengthen internal mobility.
🎤 And huge thanks to Jennifer Eversen for moderating with insight and grace—and to Salesforce for hosting us, and Elke Roelant for her relentless work to help us deliver impactful events.
Soo-Ja Schijf and Hester van Oene, I am very appreciative of how we worked together as a team to put on such an insightful and successful event!
I ended the session with this challenge:
“Don’t just adopt AI. Adapt it. Question it. Guide it. And most importantly—humanize it.”
