 The 250 companies with the most job growth in the last four years have created a total of more than ten thousand jobs.The study was conducted by the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship (ECE), Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) and Nlgroeit.

Researchers have looked at companies that had at least ten employees at the beginning of the period with a turnover of 5 million Euros, and achieved at least 20% growth in sales and employees.

Greatest growth is in the cosmetics company Rituals, founded by Raymond Cloosterman in 2000. Between 2012 and 2016, the company created 1,097 new jobs. After a slow start, the company has grown enormously in just the last four years. The number of stores has more than doubled to five hundred establishments.

“2400 Great People”

Cloosterman says in a press release that there was no intention to grow so fast. “At the moment we are opening two to three stores a week, somewhere in the world and the Rituals family continues to grow rapidly. Last year we employed and trained 2400 people”.

At number two is Royal Reesink, a wholesaler that includes agricultural implements, tools, household items and furniture. The group, founded in 1786 as a small forge, created about 906 jobs.

And at third place is Cool Blue, which started in 1999 as a student company by Peter Black, but is now a company with more than 323 shops and eight physical stores in the Netherlands and Belgium, accounting for 456 new jobs in the last four years.

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

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".
