Overview
Founded in 2018 by Andreas De Neve, Jeroen Van Hautte, and Mikael Wornoo, TechWolf builds what it calls an AI-powered Skills Intelligence platform. The core product ingests job descriptions, performance data, and HR records to produce a structured, continuously updated skills graph for an organization's workforce.
The company raised a EUR 40M Series B in June 2023, led by Smartfin with participation from Fortino Capital. This brought total funding to EUR 43M and positioned TechWolf among Belgium's fastest-growing HR tech companies. Headquartered at Wintercircus in Ghent, the team sits at the intersection of Enterprise AI and workforce planning.
TechWolf competes in the global skills intelligence category alongside players like Eightfold and Beamery, with a differentiated focus on structured ontology building rather than generic AI matching.

- Your agent is never unsure. Ask which skills your team has for the reorg and you’ll get a confident list in seconds. The catch: it can’t say where any of it came from, and some of it is pure invention. Agents hallucinate, lean on data nobody signed off on, and can’t show their work. Not what you want behind a decision about people’s roles. The Fall Launch fixes that: trusted, governed Skills, Work and Market Intelligence, fed to your agents over MCP. Our Director of AI Jens-Joris digs into UWE too, our model that reads work and
- Most AI forecasts end the same way: fewer jobs. Sven Smit of the McKinsey Global Institute ran the numbers further and landed somewhere else: a people shortage. The surprise is what happens after the automation. Prices fall, new demand appears, and new roles show up faster than the models assume. Even at 80% automation, the economy he describes doesn’t have enough people to fill it. We sat down with Sven and Anu Madgavkar on what that means for workforce planning right now.

- Picture week one with a new agent. Fast, sharp, drafts and plans in seconds. Then you ask it to plan your workforce, and it goes quiet. It doesn’t know the work your people do, the skills they have, or how AI is changing their roles. Every answer is a guess. That’s what the Fall Launch is about. TechWolf brings trusted, governed data on work and workforce right inside the tools your teams already use. So you can feed skills, market and work intelligence into your work redesign and workforce planning, and move the transformation

- AI changes the work. So the work is what you redesign. That’s what we kept coming back to across both sides of the Atlantic, at Gartner for HR Symposium/Xpo™ events this October in London and Orlando. So we put numbers on it: what can AI actually absorb, what does it just speed up, and what stays human? Across 20,127 roles scored task by task, AI can absorb 1.4% of enterprise work and accelerate 39.2%. The rest stays human. A few more we took home: → Freed-up hours mean nothing until you decide where they go → Layoffs look fast on
