Jerome Ternynck

CEO
CEO, SmartRecruiters

Jerome Ternynck is a recognized leader in the recruiting technology industry. As an entrepreneur with his heart in recruiting and soul in technology, he has had three successful exits during his more than 30 years spent building global businesses and award-winning software companies.  

Jerome is on a mission to connect people to jobs at scale. He argues that the ability to hire exceptional talent is the sustainable differentiator for any business to compete—especially when nearly 80% of CEOs see hiring for key skills as their major threat.  

Tapping into his decades of experience partnering with high-growth and Fortune 500 companies, Jerome wrote Hiring Success to provide actionable insights for CEOs competing for the best talent.  

Jerome currently serves as Founder and CEO of Silicon Valley-based SmartRecruiters, a global talent acquisition suite rated as an industry leader by industry analysts.  

He dedicates his personal time to connecting people with jobs as well, through the creation of his Reverse Recruiting movement and by volunteering with Entrepreneurs-in-Training programs in state prisons.
