One in ten Dutch companies with ten or more employees is a 'fast grower'. At these companies, the number of workers have increase by an average annual rate of 21 percent between 2011 and 2014. In total, almost six thousand companies in this category, reports the Central Bureau of Statistics (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, CBS).

The number of fast-growing companies has decreased compared to 2010 by about 8 percent, although the proportion in relation to the number of surviving firms remained the same. The number of employees at fast growing companies increased by more than 286 thousand, between 2011 and 2014. This is due in part to the acquisition of another company, where employees often come along.

Fast growers are found mainly in trade, business services, rental, and industry sectors. In the transportation and warehousing sector, as well as the construction industry, there are very few fast growers.

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".
