We started with just posting our jobs on their job board, and throughout the years our cooperation has grown into a valuable partnership.
Since last year Together Abroad present their workshop “How to find a job in The Netherlands” also at the 4 Undutchables offices to our candidates. We are happy to be able to provide such great and reliable service to our candidates.
And we look forward to continue our fruitful cooperation in the future.
Kirsten Jansen - van den Broek Undutchables
We have worked with Together Abroad as advertisers since their inception in 2009.
During this time, we have found them to be very responsive to our needs and very pleasant people to work with.
I would certainly recommend them as reliable and responsive business partners with an eye to the market and having their fingers on the pulse of the Dutch employment sector.

The job board is an important resource to Adams and gives us greater exposure to the jobs we advertise and an additional source of candidates.
