The number of “rapid growth” companies in the Netherlands is back on the rise, after five years on the decline. This year there is a 10% increase compared to the previous year, when there were 7,460 rapid growth companies in the Netherlands, reported Statistics Netherlands.
With last year’s increase, the number of rapid growth companies is now back on the level it was in 2011. A rapid growth company is a business that for three years in a row shows a minimum of 10 percent growth in terms of employees.
Employment agencies and restaurants count as the most rapid growth companies, among them 395 and 335 respectively. Software developers counted 210 rapid growth companies, road hauliers came in fourth place with 170 and engineering and management consultancies made up the top five with 152 of these fast growing businesses each.
Larger companies – businesses with 250 employees or more – grew the fastest. In 2012 these large rapid-growth companies had 660 employees on average. Last year they had an average of 1,220, an increase of 31% per year. Medium sized rapid growers increased by an average of 25% per year, and small ones by 19%.
All in all, rapid growth companies employed around 527 thousand people last year.

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

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

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".
