Expedia, a major international online travel company from the United States, has chosen to expand its existing operations in Amsterdam. In turn, this will create approximately 120 new full time jobs in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area.

Amsterdam’s attractive labour pool
Expedia announced the news in a press statement. To facilitate the expansion, Expedia Group has leased a new office in a canal-side property in the historic city centre of Amsterdam. When Expedia first set up their business in Amsterdam, the company experienced first hand that the area acts as a magnet to talented people from across the globe.

“The impressive calibre of talent found in the area’s workforce made Amsterdam a prime location when deciding where to expand our organisation’s footprint,” said Frank Zijlstra, Expedia Group’s vice president of global financial operations. “We hope to grow our operations here over the months and years to come, so we are very much looking forward to strengthening our ties with the city of Amsterdam.”

Amsterdam inbusiness and the NFIA
The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area has been a hub for international businesses for decades. Amsterdam inbusiness and the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) worked closely together to assist the Expedia Group with their expansion.

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".
