We proudly introduce Refugee LinkUp. We developed this campaign together with creative agency 180 Amsterdam. With Refugee LinkUp we draw attention to the fact that many status holders do not have a relevant professional network. While a good network is often the key to a job in the Netherlands…

For the campaign, we link 25 people with a large network to 25 status holders who do not yet have such a large network. We do this on LinkedIn, the business social media platform. The 25 people with a large network share their LinkedIn profile with a status holder for two weeks. For example, Anke den Ouden, General Manager of Microsoft Netherlands, is participating, alongside Nadine Beister, HR Director of Achmea, Pauline Bieringa, Managing Director of Triodos Bank and Joost Looij, ICT Director of Enexis.

80,000

 These 25 couples are the face of the campaign, but it is certainly not just about them. They symbolize about 80,000 (!) status holders who are eager to work. And who would have been helped with a network.

What can you do?

 First things first: help us get as much reach as possible with this campaign! You can do this by reposting the couples' LinkedIn posts over the next two weeks. Then LinkedIn's algorithm works at its best; If we all do this, as many people as possible will see it. You will automatically find these posts in your LinkedIn timeline via our socials. If you don't want to wait for that, go directly to our Refugee LinkUp page . Do you want to do more? Use your own network? You will find tips and inspiration on our campaign page!
