Sjamilla Van Der Tooren is a talent acquisition leader with nine years of hands-on and leadership experience building recruitment functions that scale across startups and hyper-growth companies. She designs data-driven hiring systems, bias-reducing workflows, and candidate experiences that consistently turn chaotic hiring into predictable outcomes. At VanMoof she grew the TA function from two people to a global team that supported a 200→900+ headcount expansion while maintaining top engagement scores and implementing ATS, reporting, and headcount planning processes. As a freelancer and sourcer she’s helped tech teams at companies like WeTransfer, Zenly/Snap, and Creative Fabrica, translating sourcing craft into repeatable team enablement. Obsessed with documentation, feedback cultures, and psychological safety, she focuses on small strategic changes that produce compounding impact. Based in North Holland, she combines recruiter-first sourcing intuition with systems thinking to help scrappy startups become structured without losing speed or humanity.
