News – Refugees are not a crisis. They are talent.

8vance supports the whitepaper “How Refugees Contribute to Dutch Society”

While the public debate keeps focusing on a “refugee crisis”, the new whitepaper How Refugees Contribute to Dutch Society shows something different: the Netherlands doesn’t face a refugee crisis — it faces a talent crisis.

Together with Nederland Werkt, VluchtelingenWerk Nederland, Ukraine2Work, KleurRijker, and UAF, we reveal how refugees are already contributing to Dutch society as teachers, healthcare professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs, and researchers.

At 8vance, we didn’t set out to build another HR-tech tool — we set out to restore dignity to overlooked talent. Our AI matches people on skills, potential, and ambition, not on their CV or status.
Early on, our platform matched a Ukrainian surgeon cleaning floors to a healthcare research role — reopening his future. Since then, millions of matches have shown that skills are the true currency of work and that technology can unlock human potential.
