About us
Join us in creating a fair job market
With Learned, we are working toward a job market where performance is reviewed in an equal manner. So that everyone in the workplace is given the same opportunity to develop, grow and be rewarded fairly.
We believe in equal opportunities in the workplace. That’s why we want to create a job market where everyone is assessed fairly – based on their abilities and achievements. Because more equality is not only fairer, it also creates stronger organisations.
Our story
When our founders were still working for an employer, it struck them that almost every department worked in a data-driven way, except HR. Decisions about reviews, development and compensation were often based on gut feeling.
The numbers also show a similar trend: 4 in 5 employees experience their review process as unfair (Gallup, 2024). And 86% of workers do not feel encouraged to grow in their current job, leading to job hopping and turnover.
Time for fair, more objective performance reviews. But since the ultimate solution did not exist yet, in 2018, Rick, Paul and Joost Kuijf, three brothers, decided to shake up the HR market themselves. With Learned: software for objective Performance Management.
By now, more than 250 companies are using our software to improve performance, increase engagement and reduce employee turnover. Those benefits in turn make organisations more agile than ever – able to respond to rapidly changing market conditions, and the needs of new generations of workers.
Values we are proud of
Equality
We are a diverse team, and respect everyone’s way of thinking. We stay away from biases and always share feedback honestly, yet respectfully.
Entrepreneurship
We always see opportunities for growth, and work towards our shared mission with enthusiasm and a solution mindset.
Development
We keep improving Learned – both for ourselves and for our customers. We remain open to feedback. And if we don’t know something, we learn the skills to grow.
A unique method to review, develop and reward objectively
We use a scientific method to assess work performance equally, developed together with HR experts. It consists of 3 parts, which also form the basis for our software. Want to know more?
