The Northern Netherlands has a rich pool of English speaking talent

With 25.000 international workers in the Northern Netherlands and 2.000+ international graduates from Northern universities hitting the job market every year, it’s no wonder more and more mkb-ers are opening their doors to this target group.

Diversity drives innovation drives profit

A company that only hires people from the same area, with the same experiences, and the same background, will keep doing the same thing.Β But the market is always changing. Innovation comes from unexpected combinations of people and ideas. Diversifying your workforce isn’t just a necessity with the shortage of the current job market.Β You’re missing out if you don’t!

But we're a Dutch company, iedereen praat gewoon Nederlands...

Natuurlijk! And the international you hire can also learn Dutch. But wouldn’t it be a shame to wait 2 years until their level of Dutch is high enough to use it professionally, when they already have the skills and motivation to work for you right now?

But don’t just take our word for it: have a look at other companies from Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe that hire internationals!

There’s a big shortage of workers in general and we’re lucky to be here in Friesland to be able to find the right people to help with our growth.
