Blooming and Growing Together in Amsterdam
Happy 750 years to Amsterdam! The city is pulling out all the stops to commemorate their history and growth in this milestone year. With the Undutchables roots starting in Amsterdam as well, we are happy to be part of the celebration and focus on the beauty of the city as well as the huge role this area continues to play in the international community. With an increasingly diverse population, and as a hub for global businesses, Amsterdam can play an important role in promoting innovation and inclusivity. We are proud to be a part of the rich history and continued growth Amsterdam offers.
Check out this article published in the October edition of the Kijk op Groot-Amsterdam magazine to learn more about the strength of diversity the city has to offer and how Undutchables and Amsterdam have grown together over the past 30 years. (The original article is in Dutch. You can find the English text below.)
Diversity as a Driver of Growth: Amsterdam celebrates 750 years
Amsterdam is celebrating 750 years of history - a city built on trade, openness, and connection. From its beginnings as a small settlement on the Amstel to its current status as a thriving international hub, Amsterdam has always grown stronger by welcoming people from around the world. Today, more than 170 nationalities live and work here, making diversity not just part of daily life, but part of the city’s identity.
At Undutchables Recruitment Agency, we see ourselves as part of that same story. Founded in Amsterdam, we specialize in connecting businesses with international and multilingual talent. Over the years, we have witnessed first-hand how diversity transforms teams, sparks innovation, and drives business growth. In many ways, it feels like a good marriage - Amsterdam, a city that thrives on diversity, and Undutchables, an agency dedicated to helping companies embrace it.
The international heartbeat of Amsterdam
Diversity is not a trend; it is the reality of today’s workforce. Companies in sectors like IT, customer service, and marketing increasingly rely on multilingual professionals to connect with global markets and clients. But the benefits go far beyond language skills. Diverse teams bring new perspectives, fresh ideas, and creative problem-solving—qualities that make businesses more resilient and innovative.
Amsterdam’s international community continues to expand, with thousands of newcomers choosing the city each year. This growth creates opportunities but also challenges for employers. How do you build teams that not only represent the world but also work well together? This is where Undutchables comes in: by guiding businesses in finding the right people and fostering inclusive environments where everyone feels they belong.
Building inclusive workplaces
Diversity alone is not enough. For companies, the real strength lies in inclusion—ensuring that employees feel valued and empowered to contribute. We know from experience that inclusion requires deliberate attention: adapting communication styles, aligning company values, and encouraging openness to different worldviews.
That is why our role goes beyond recruitment. We provide advice and resources to help companies cultivate inclusion, from guidance on unbiased hiring practices to insights on managing cultural differences in the workplace. By creating environments where international talent can thrive, businesses unlock long-term success.
Tips for employers
- Think beyond skills: A candidate’s cultural background and life experience can be just as valuable as their technical expertise.
- Lead by example: Leadership commitment to inclusion sets the tone for the whole company.
- Create space for dialogue: Encourage teams to share perspectives openly and learn from one another.
- See diversity as strategy: Diverse teams are not just “nice to have”—they are a proven driver of innovation and growth.
Looking ahead
Amsterdam’s story over the past 750 years shows the power of openness and connection. As the city continues to grow, so does its need for diverse talent. At Undutchables, we are proud to be part of this journey - helping businesses find the people who will shape the next chapter of Amsterdam’s success. Together, we can build workplaces where differences are strengths and diversity drives results.
