AI Matching beyond diplomas and job titles: how TPA Global focuses on skills, ambition and growth potential

The world of work is changing rapidly – also in the tax sector. TPA Global, with 30 employees in Amsterdam and a global network of 5,000 specialists, fully embraces digital transformation and AI Matching. Not based on diplomas, but on skills, ambitions and potential.

Using 8vance’s AI Matching technology, TPA Global finds the right people for projects and roles, both internally and externally. The result: better matches, higher retention, and greater employee resilience.

From silos to skills

The tax world is highly specialised, but rapidly digitising. CEO Steef Huibregtse sees the shift: “Our people need to master tax tech and digital workflows. AI Matching shows us who can do what – and who wants to grow.”

The tool analyses employees and network partners based on skills, experience, (micro)certificates, ambition and growth potential. The most relevant candidates appear in the ‘bullseye’ of a radar interface.

Fast and intuitive onboarding

Implementation is quick: employees spend about an hour selecting their expertise, training, certificates, language skills, and ambitions. This immediately gives them insight into career options and strengthens internal mobility.

AI Matching empowers talent and HR teams with:

• Personalised insights into skills and career paths

• Faster and fairer internal mobility

• Automated suggestions for roles and projects

• Objective and bias-reducing decision support

• Less application stress, more autonomy

Strategic talent management

With AI Matching, organisations make smarter use of people’s potential. Whether it’s for workforce planning, talent development, or internal moves – the technology supports a skill-based, future-proof approach.

As Huibregtse says: “Young tax professionals won’t be doing the same job for 40 years. They’ll go through 20 major projects – and we help them be ready for that.”
