Investigo expands to the Netherlands to meet growing demand for data & analytics talent amid market skills shortage

Investigo, the specialist permanent and interim recruitment firm, has opened its doors in Amsterdam, Netherlands, driven by a growing demand for highly skilled data analysts, data engineers and data scientists amid a market shortage.

With a dedicated team of specialists, Investigo reinforces its commitment to the Benelux market where they’ve developed strong partnerships with leading Data and Analytics organisations like ERIKS across Belgium and the Netherlands.

The company aims for a year-on-year growth rate of 15-20 per cent in revenue that aligns with its strategic focus on sustainable scaling and its increasing influence in the market.

Don Bril (pictured above), Associate Director, Investigo Netherlands Office: “The tech market is struggling with a lack of skilled talent alongside challenges like managing complex data systems. Here at Investigo we are committed to supporting our clients in navigating this difficult climate, where we focus on enhancing their data understanding, including regulatory compliance and leveraging AI to streamline processes.

The introduction of regulations like the Dutch DBA, ensuring compliance, especially when working with freelance specialists has become far more complex, and something the market needs support to take action on.

As a NEN-certified and DBA-compliant organisation, Investigo, along with our consultancy arm Definia, is well-equipped to help businesses establish clear contracts, conduct risk assessment sand properly classify workers, ensuring they meet all necessary requirements.”

Investigo’s nearshore talent solution gives clients access to a broader pool of skilled professionals from nearby regions, offering faster recruitment, cost savings, and varied expertise. This gives them a competitive edge over counterparts in the Netherlands who hire only locally, enabling more agile and flexible growth.

The main priority for Investigo in the coming year is to expand its client and candidate portfolio within Data and Analytics. The company specialises in connecting businesses with highly skilled freelance professionals, and it plans to fully embed Definia, its consultancy department, into the Benelux market.

Investigo understands the challenges that the tech sector currently faces in terms of a shortage of skilled talent, and with its expansion in Amsterdam, it is ready to support the evolving needs of the Benelux region, driving growth through strategic partnerships, expert consultancy, and a commitment to innovation.
