Multinationals provide nearly 2 million jobs
Multinational companies are important for the Dutch labour market. In 2013, multinationals accounted for a total of 1.9 million jobs in the Netherlands. With 1 million jobs, Dutch multinationals accounted for just over half of all jobs provided by multinational companies, despite the fact that only about 1 percent of all companies active in the Netherlands are foreign multinationals and another 1 percent are Dutch multinationals with subsidiaries abroad. Tata Steel (formerly known as Koninklijke Hoogovens), LIDL and V&D (Sun Capital) are instances of foreign multinationals. AkzoNobel, Philips and Ahold are instances of Dutch multinationals. Earlier, CBS already reported that - since the onset of the economic crisis in 2008 - fewer jobs were lost in companies operating on an international level.

Multinationals account for two-thirds of total turnover generated by the Dutch private sector
Multinationals also make a substantial contribution to total turnover generated by the Dutch private sector; foreign multinationals generate 40 percent, Dutch multinationals 25 percent. In 2013, foreign multinationals accounted for approximately half of Dutch imports and exports of goods. Dutch multinationals accounted for one-third of exports and 30 percent of imports.

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.

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".
