How it all started
In 2000, when Bram Bosveld, Hugo de Koning and Rogier Thewessen were still studying, they went looking for part-time jobs. As they were unable to find anything online, they set up their own job board: StudentenWerk. Here, employers posted their job openings and students applied online. Easy, fast and targeted.
Sitting in his attic room one day, Bram was called by an employer. “Do you also cover temporary staffing?” the employer asked. “Yes, we do,” Bram answered, calling out to the others: “We're going into temporary staffing!” A new type of temporary employment agency was born.
Easiest to find online
Just go for it, that is still our company's approach. It is this mindset that helped StudentenWerk develop into YoungCapital: a recruitment agency with over 20,000 candidates at work every week. We have the largest database of young people in Europe and are easier to find online than any other Dutch employment agency.

We think in terms of opportunities
Like our founders, we think in opportunities. And we seize them too. Our mission with YoungCapital and YoungCapital NEXT is to help all young people find work. This is something we are proud of and get out of bed every day..
We practice what we preach
We have been the link between young people and companies for over twenty years. Logical perhaps, since we started with student jobs. But it is also a conscious choice: we believe in the power of young people. After all, with an average age of 28, we ourselves are living proof of what young people can achieve.
