How it all started
In 2000, three Dutch students; Bram Bosveld, Hugo de Koning and Rogier Thewessen had one goal. To find a part-time job. They soon discovered that to find anything online proved to be rather difficult. The solution? They created their very own online job board. Starting out as Studentenwerk (Student Work), employers posted vacancies and students could apply with ease.
Studentenwerk grew into YoungCapital, an innovative employment agency that would disrupt the entire Dutch recruitment landscape, with over 16,000 candidates at work, every day.
But they didn’t stop there. StudentJob was launched in new markets. Together an online network of over 6 million ambitious candidates in nine European countries was born.

Gen Z
