About Studentjob

How it all started

In 2000, three Dutch students; Bram Bosveld, Hugo de Koning and Rogier Thewessen had one sole purpose. Looking for 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. Expanding into new markets, StudentJob was launched and together a broad online network of over 6 million ambitious candidates in nine European countries was born.

Gen Z

Gen Z

In order to deliver the right job, we need to understand our candidates. Gen Z is looking for jobs, we know what they are looking for. Ambitious, fun and looking for security. Gen Z is always looking for ways to challenge themselves, and we at StudentJob want to help with that. We are therefore actively working to post internships and PhD student positions, all to take advantage of the entrepreneurship and drive found in generation Z! Are you part of Gen Z? Then you are in safe hands with us.
