Work in the Netherlands
all about jobs and life in the Netherlands

Meet the people behind Olandija

Olandija is powered by people with different backgrounds, professions, and experiences — but we all share one thing in common: a connection to life in the Netherlands.

Our team and contributors include recruiters, expats, students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who want to share what they’ve learned along the way.

Some of us help people find their next career opportunity. Others know what it feels like to arrive in the Netherlands for the first time, navigate Dutch bureaucracy, look for housing, start university, build a career, or simply figure out how everything works.
