With the installation of the city’s new administration, The Hague deputy Mayor Henk Kool leaves the City Hall and steps down as alderman for Social Affairs, Employment and Economy. During his two political terms Henk’s ambition, vision and expertise led to many international companies locating new offices in The Hague and the WestHolland region. In the last 8 years we have seen an increasingly pro-active business approach by the City’s staff managed by Henk. Despite his busy schedule, Henk was always personally willing to meet potential new companies and enthusiastically promoting The Hague as a business location. On several occasions this was the decisive factor for foreign companies in their choice for The Hague as their new location.

Henk Kool leaves the board of Participants of the WestHolland Foreign Investment Agency as representative of the City of The Hague. The WFIA team would like to thank Henk Kool for his continuous effort in improving the regional investment climate and his believe and vision to transform The Hague into an international business city.

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".
