Why are more companies choosing South African professionals?
The Dutch labour market is under structural pressure. An ageing population, high labour participation and a large share of part-time employment make it increasingly difficult to find qualified staff. In addition, a significant number of vacancies arise each year due to natural turnover and replacement demand.
South African professionals offer a proven and sustainable solution. They align well with Dutch working culture, bring a strong work ethic and consciously commit to long-term careers with Dutch organisations. Language proficiency, professional mindset and cultural compatibility ensure smooth integration and high levels of engagement.
What makes South African professionals stand out?
South African professionals are recognised for their strong work ethic, sense of responsibility and their ability to adapt quickly to new working environments and cultures. They are well educated, possess strong technical and professional skills and consciously choose to pursue an international career.
Fluent English is a given. Afrikaans as a mother tongue—closely related to Dutch—also enables a fast understanding and acquisition of the Dutch language, significantly supporting smooth integration in the workplace.
