About us
International@Work, a unique combination of experience and background.
With extensive experience in secondment and diverse management roles, we have a deep understanding of the challenges employers face. Rooted in Ukraine, we share a personal connection with our candidates, fostering trust and preventing misunderstandings.
With 20 years of expertise in social support and the broader social sector, we recognize the potential of professionals and guide them to fully seize their opportunities.
Our vision:
We believe in a world where talent knows no boundaries.
- Refugees bring resilience, skills and motivation;
- Employers need dedicated and skilled employees.
International@Work bridges this gap – we create opportunities for refugees to rebuild their lives, while helping businesses grow.
Our team:
Vasyl

Born and raised in Ukraine, I came to the Netherlands more than 20 years ago with my mother and brother for the future.
As a social educator and nurse, I know how important it is to get good support in an appropriate job with future prospects.
Fons

Active for over 30 years in various management roles in recruitment and secondment and projects.
Therefore, I understand the issues that many of our clients face on a regular basis. I feel deep sympathy for those who have had to flee their country, and I am committed to helping them.
Jessy
English, Dutch
I’m Jessie, born and raised in Amsterdam. After working as a graphic designer, I began focusing on healthcare. I have been working in intensive care for five years and also assist patients in other areas.
I focus on social media, web communication, and contribute to social processes.
We do our business with partners:
Slava
Ukrainian, Russian, English, Dutch
With STS for more than 20 years active in North Limburg and East Brabant in the field of technical service and has built an extensive network.
As a native Ukrainian, I am very sorry to the people who fled the war. Together with International@Work I want to help Ukrainians who have fled their country to find suitable and fair employment.
Romaniia
Ukrainian, Russian, English
I worked as a recruiter in Ukraine for more than 5 years. After moving there, I had to start all over again because the expectations and attitudes of employers in the Netherlands are different. Now I want to help other refugees understand these differences and find decent, honest jobs.
Here I support communication between clients and candidates and help them find the right position.
Natalia
Ukrainian, Russian, English
After I moved here as a refugee, I had to go through the entire job application process on my own – learning from mistakes, experiencing frustrations, until I finally found my first good job and was able to build my career.
Now I want to make this road easier for others like me. That’s why I support International@work with IT assistance and marketing.
International@Work works in two directions:
Job seekers
International@Work supports people who have come to the Netherlands as refugees, helping them find meaningful employment. We understand your situation and work daily to match you with suitable short-term vacancies. When needed, we also assist in finding work in your own profession.
We will guide you to work in a wide variety of vacancies. Both for experienced professionals and those with less experience.
Employers
Finding motivated and qualified employees is not easy. We understand the challenges of business, as our founder was a manager at a large company. That’s why we select candidates that fit your needs and test them before placing.
International@Work puts you in touch with candidates who have experience in different sectors. They are motivated to get started – even if their role is initially different from their previous position or level.
