What this is
What recognised sponsorship means, and what it does not
The status
Recognised by the IND
A recognised sponsor is an organisation the IND has approved to act as sponsor for residence applications: highly skilled migrants, intra-corporate transferees, researchers and others, depending on the category. The register lists the organisation and its KVK number.
What it is not
Not a vacancy, not a promise
Being on the register says nothing about whether an organisation is hiring, which roles it would sponsor, or whether a given person qualifies. The conditions are set by the IND and change; the official pages below decide.
Why we publish it
Employers who already know the route
These organisations have done the work to be recognised. For an employer, it is a benchmark; for us, it is the shortlist of companies worth talking to when a role in the Netherlands cannot be filled locally.

Hiring in the Netherlands?
We look in the Netherlands first, through our network of tradespeople and professionals already in the Benelux, and bring people in from abroad only when the local market cannot fill the role. Trade tested before you meet them, paperwork handled with you.
- No retainer. Nothing to sign until you have met people.
- Trade tested before you see them, not after.
- Nothing is ever charged to the candidate.
