Daan Smit
Recruiter and Training in Netherlands
Strategic recruiter with over 15 years of experience in building and professionalizing Agile teams within complex sectors such as Defence, Autonomy, and FinTech. I am characterized by a rare combination of substantive technical affinity and a sharp focus on process optimization.
Beyond delivering top-tier professionals for C-level and niche expert roles, I focus on strengthening the entire recruitment operation. My expertise includes optimizing ATS workflows, implementing data-driven reporting, and training interview panels to ensure a more objective selection process.
I leverage storytelling and strategic stakeholder management to engage and retain talent in highly competitive markets. My goal is to build future-proof teams where innovation and human connection go hand in hand; because while technology provides the foundation, the personal connection drives the future.
