We are pleased to announce that Wouter Durville, Founder of TestGorilla, will join the speaker line-up at the EU-Startups Summit 2026 on May 7-8 in sunny Malta!
Founded in Amsterdam, TestGorilla is reshaping how companies hire by replacing traditional CV screening with science-backed, skills-based assessments. The platform helps organisations identify the right candidates faster, more objectively, and without bias, allowing hiring teams to focus on real abilities rather than subjective or inflated résumés. Today, TestGorilla supports companies worldwide across a wide range of roles, helping them make fairer and more data-driven hiring decisions.
At the Summit, Wouter Durville will deliver a keynote titled “Hiring for the AI Era: Why the CV is Dead and ‘AI-Fluency’ is King.” Drawing on data showing that 71% of leaders now prioritise AI skills over years of experience, he will explore why many startups remain stuck in outdated hiring practices and what founders can do to break out of this so-called legacy loop. His session will offer a practical blueprint for identifying AI fluency and building high-performance teams faster and more effectively in an increasingly AI-driven world.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of Europe’s leading voices in skills-based hiring, and make sure to secure your ticket for the EU-Startups Summit 2026!
