Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolWillem Wijnans is a talent and community leader with 11 years’ experience helping fast-growing tech companies scale hiring across EMEA and APAC. Currently driving Ashby’s regional community efforts after being their first EMEA GTM hire, he blends hands-on recruitment strategy with event-driven community building—think demos, dinners, webinars and co-build sessions. He has led global recruitment at high-growth teams (VanMoof from 200 to 800+ employees) and acted as a design partner shaping Ashby’s all-in-one hiring product. Willem advises startups, mentors founders on technical hiring, and has repeatedly launched new regional offices and recruiting functions. Trained in cultural anthropology and human resources, he brings curiosity about people and evidence-based hiring practices to technical talent problems. Colleagues describe him as a recruiter-evangelist who still enjoys sourcing through creative channels (once hiring a developer via a pull request).
