Cool Blue expects to achieve sales of 1.2 billion Euros. This would be a continuation of the strong sales growth in recent years. The web shop will also hire an extra 1500 people this year.

In 2016 Cool Blue’s turnover rose by 55% to 857 million Euros. Last year, the operating result was 19 million Euros. Cool Blue-founder Peter Zwartis especially proud of the steps that the company took with the delivery service launched in 2016. It was especially good for customer satisfaction.

New Store

This year the company will open a new store, in addition to the already existing locations that include Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Eindhoven. Zwart was talking about a new concept, but still did not want to reveal any details about the location and content of this new branch, which he called “showpiece of Cool Blue”.

The company is also looking for many new colleagues. According toZwart they have to be a bit quirky and preferably young and ambitious. At the moment, they are offering jobs for marketers, warehouse and delivery staff, but also in technology, design and customer service.

There is a rigorous application process. According to Zwart, only around 1.5% of the candidates are eventually accepted. Those who are looking for more than just a job have an advantage.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
