About

Built by people who use it.

Three Dutch companies built Innotalent because they wanted AI engineers and marketers they could trust. They found them in Prishtina. Then they decided to make the same talent available to you.

The story

Innoworks, Innomads, and Notum are three Dutch companies building real products. Each one needed AI engineers and marketers who could work as part of the team, not contractors at arm's length. The usual routes kept coming up short.

Kosovo was different. The people we found in Prishtina were sharp, genuinely motivated, and good to work alongside. We did not find them through a directory. We showed up, built relationships, and looked carefully. The talent in Prishtina is not a delivery centre. It is part of how these three companies build their products.

Once we were working with these people on our own products, the next step was obvious. Open it up. Let other companies hire the same AI engineers and marketers we use ourselves. No pitch decks, no markups, no handoff-and-forget. That is Innotalent.

Who is behind this

Three companies. One shared proof.

Innoworks

A Dutch software product and services company. Innoworks builds digital products and AI-powered tools for clients across Europe. Tijn Meijerink and Twan van der Heijden founded it, and both work with Innotalent talent on their own products today.

Innomads

A Dutch company that helps organisations work well across borders. Joost Lansink founded Innomads with a clear view of what distributed teams need to function, and brings that perspective to how Innotalent manages its people.

Notum

A Dutch technology company focused on building well-reasoned software systems. Chris Pierik founded Notum and brings the same rigour to Innotalent: understand the problem properly before you put anyone in the room.

What we believe

The best proof is that we use them ourselves.

We do not place people we would not hire for our own products. That is the whole standard.
