“Supporting the Sectors That Drive Growth in the Netherlands.”

The Dutch economy depends on several key sectors where skilled professionals, SMEs, and newcomers all play a role.

At VS Overseas Advisors, we focus our advisory and mediation services on these areas — combining recruitment, digital support, training, education guidance, and relocation under one roof.

Each industry presents unique challenges, and our integrated solutions are designed to address them transparently and compliantly.

Hospitality

Sector Reality: Restaurants, hotels, and catering companies often face staff shortages, especially in peak seasons.

Our Role: We introduce employers to motivated candidates, help students and newcomers prepare for hospitality roles, and provide guidance on cultural and workplace expectations.

Outcome: Employers fill shifts compliantly, and candidates gain experience in one of the Netherlands’ most dynamic industries.

IT & Digital Talent

Sector Reality: Dutch SMEs and corporates are accelerating digitalisation but struggle with talent shortages.

Our Role: We connect employers with IT and digital professionals and deliver digital training cohorts for students and residents.

Outcome: Stronger digital teams for employers, new freelance and career opportunities for individuals, and progress on the Dutch digitalisation agenda.

Logistics & Warehousing

Sector Reality: Logistics is the backbone of Dutch trade, but warehouses and distribution centres face staffing shortages.

Our Role: We advise employers on compliant workforce planning, connect them with suitable candidates, and prepare workers for Dutch workplace standards.

Outcome: More reliable logistics operations and better opportunities for flexible workers.

Construction & Skilled Trades

Sector Reality: Housing projects and infrastructure demand continues to grow, creating high demand for construction workers and skilled tradespeople.

Our Role: We mediate between employers and candidates, ensuring direct contracting and compliance. We also guide candidates in preparing CVs and interviews for trade roles.

Outcome: Employers find reliable trades talent, and candidates access stable opportunities.

Healthcare (Selected Roles)

Sector Reality: Dutch healthcare faces ongoing shortages, but roles must be filled carefully within regulations.

Our Role: We focus only on selected, non-critical roles (e.g. support staff), offering employers mediation and candidates advisory to align with sector needs.

Outcome: Healthcare providers reduce gaps without breaching compliance, and candidates enter meaningful support roles.

Agriculture & Seasonal Work

Sector Reality: Greenhouses, farms, and seasonal employers often face challenges in finding seasonal labour.

Our Role: We provide advisory to employers on attracting motivated workers and guide seasonal candidates in preparing for assignments.

Outcome: Seasonal labour needs are met efficiently, supporting Dutch agricultural productivity.

SME Digitalisation Gap

Sector Reality: Many Dutch SMEs lag behind in digitalisation due to high costs or lack of expertise.

Our Role: We deliver affordable digital marketing services — social media, SEO, web development — and train SME staff in digital basics.

Outcome: SMEs grow online visibility, gain new customers, and compete effectively in a digital-first economy.

International Students

Sector Reality: The Netherlands attracts global students, but many struggle with program choice and application preparation.

Our Role: We advise on program selection, CV/SOP coaching, and application readiness. Students and universities remain responsible for visa processes.

Outcome: Students make informed choices and prepare strong applications while staying compliant.

Relocation & Integration

Sector Reality: Moving to a new country can be overwhelming without support.

Our Role: We provide advisory on housing, city orientation, workplace basics, and cultural integration. Future plans include IATA certification to expand travel support.

Outcome: Newcomers settle faster, feel supported, and contribute positively to Dutch society.

Our goal is simple: practical solutions that create value for employers, students, and residents — strengthening the Dutch economy as a whole.

By focusing on these high-demand sectors, we create real impact: stronger teams, digitally ready SMEs, empowered students, and smoother integration for newcomers.
