Tom Medema is Dutch, and grew up in a small village in the Netherlands. This allowed him to explore what else was out there, which led to him living in 5 different countries. Alongside that, he loves to travel and reads a lot of fantasy novels. We had a good chat about Tolkien books, Dune, and he recommended that I check out the Cradle series. We both highly recommend the Licanus Trilogy, for anyone who is interested in their next read.

Prior to his current venture, Tom was the CTO at a startup and found himself having to hire people fast, while maintaining that the people he hired were a good fit for the company. Hiring at their current geo only was not going to work, so they had to look remote - and he quickly felt the pains of ineffective tools and methods for doing so.
