Meet the team helping workers find work
Hiring still runs on CVs and office hours. That shuts out the people who keep warehouses and care homes going. We're eight people in Ghent building something better.

Our story
It started with a dentist who never called back
Vincent had a toothache and no dentist picked up. Diederik ignored his garage's reminders for weeks, until someone finally called him. Two small things with one lesson: people answer when someone reaches out at the right moment, on the channel they use.
We took that to frontline hiring, where it hurts most. The candidate who applied on Monday is working somewhere else by Wednesday. So in 2025 we started Ringtime in Ghent.

WHY WE'RE HERE
Every step should feel like a conversation.
Frontline workers have no CV and rarely read email. They pick up the phone after their shift, in their own language. So we built Ringtime: it finds candidates, calls and texts them until they answer and books the right ones with a recruiter.
Blue-collar
Build for the frontline
Most people work on their feet: in warehouses, factories, kitchens and care homes. They come first in everything we make.
Europe
Play by EU rules
GDPR compliant and ready for the AI Act: a recruiter can review every outcome. Candidate data stays on servers in the EU.
Conversations
Reach them on their phone
Forms and email don't reach a warehouse worker. A call or WhatsApp at the right moment does, from someone who sounds like a good recruiter.
THE TEAM
Meet the people
Engineers, product people and recruiters who have done the job. The labels are what you'd find on our candidate profiles in your applicant tracking system. If only they were up to date.
