The Origin
From the Bosporus to Benelux
It all begins with an idea.
Hi, my name is Timothy. I met Onur through one of his many great contacts who reached out via LinkedIn. The year was 2024, and the month was September. Our first conversation didn't happen in a sterile office, but at a local, famous fish restaurant in Scheveningen, the Dutch seaside town.
What followed was a golden moment—a genuine collision of two HR tech enthusiasts. We looked out at the North Sea and realized we were both grappling with the same massive challenge: the fragmented, often frustrating world of talent management. Why were companies still struggling with disconnected, complex software?
The idea we hatched that day is beautifully simple: help companies truly grow by digitalizing every single talent activity.
The Fragmented World of Talent
We saw that most businesses are using a tangled mess of siloed systems. You might have one tool for job postings, a separate system for time sheets, a complicated spreadsheet for reviews, and another platform entirely for learning. This doesn't just create administrative headaches; it makes it impossible to see the whole picture of an employee's journey, which ultimately slows down growth.
HRIQs was born out of a commitment to fix this. We envisioned a single, fluid platform that manages the employee experience from the very first interaction to the last. This is our Manifesto: to transform the "hire to retire" process into one intuitive, powerful digital experience.
Our Vision: The Complete Talent Life Cycle
We cover every critical step needed to manage, develop, and retain your team:
Attract Talent: Making sure you find the right people with the right skills.
Assess Talent: Going beyond the CV to truly see their potential.
Hire Talent: Streamlining the final paperwork and welcome process.
Onboard Talent: Welcoming and integrating new hires seamlessly.
Schedule Talent: Managing shifts, time clocks (clocking in/out), and attendance seamlessly.
Administrate Talent: Handling core HR duties, paperwork, and employee records effortlessly.
Review Talent & Poll Talent: Fostering continuous feedback, surveys, and engagement.
Develop Talent & Explore Talent: Planning career growth and internal mobility.
Reward Talent: Ensuring fair compensation and recognition systems.
🎯 Our Top 3 Commitments: What HRIQs Improves
HRIQs is more than just a list of features; it's a strategic engine designed to elevate your business. We focus on three critical improvements that drive real, measurable change:
01. Predictable Strategic Alignment (For the Company)
HRIQs eliminates the gap between big company goals and daily execution by connecting things like OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) directly to individual tasks.
This guarantees that all employee effort is precisely focused, leading to the faster, more certain achievement of overarching business goals. You stop wasting energy on tasks that don't matter and start moving the needle where it counts.
02. Data-Driven Influence and Clarity (For the HR Team)
We eliminate reliance on isolated systems by unifying all recruitment, performance, and operational data into one central location for analysis. We use AI intelligence to make sense of this massive amount of data.
This elevates the HR team to a strategic business partner. You can now use clear, powerful data to proactively influence critical business decisions, instead of just reacting to them. HR becomes a source of foresight, not just paperwork.
03. Future-Proof Talent Pipeline (For Both)
Our platform solves the talent crisis by connecting sourcing, assessment (Hiringoz), and continuous skill development (Vedubox) into one proactive strategy. It’s a continuous learning and preparation engine.
This ensures you maintain a robust, continuously evolving talent pool that is always ready to meet immediate job openings and future market demands. You are building the team you need for tomorrow, today.
The Next Chapter
That coffee and conversation in Scheveningen was just the beginning. It was the moment we committed to building the cohesive, smart, and strategic platform that companies—and their people—truly deserve.
We want to empower your company to stop managing messy systems and start managing brilliant careers. Are you ready to unify your talent management from hire to retire?
