Your skills are in demand in the Netherlands
Ready to start a new life in the Netherlands? It all begins with the right job, and we’ll help you find it. For over a decade, the Netherlands has been facing a structural shortage of technical professionals,

At Manschap, we connect these talented professionals with the right opportunities, helping you and your technical peers launch a rewarding career while contributing to the Netherlands’ technical sector.
Are you our target audience?
- Technically educated professionals (millwrights, artisans, mechanics, machine operators, electricians, mechanical engineers, and more.)
- Motivated, adaptable people who are enthusiastic about embracing a new country and culture
- Professionals seeking growth, safety and stability in their career
If this describes you, we would happily get in contact with you and discuss all possibilities.

Eastern Netherlands
Manschap started as a recruitment agency in 2007 to provide personnel for the local technical and industrial-related companies in the region of Twente. Our customer base has grown over the years and we now have customers throughout the whole eastern part of the Netherlands.
Culturally we aren’t much different from other provinces and regions. You will get the authentic Dutch experience here, even including the most important factor: our open, safe and friendly work culture.
Family business based in Twente
We are operating on our own, but Manschap is in fact a department of the company of Schipper Techniek. We are truly rooted in Dutch culture, especially within our region of Twente. Our office in Almelo makes us a central hub in Twente. It has great connections to other regions (nationally and internationally) as well.
At Manschap, we respect cultural differences and aim for the best cooperation between you and us.
