Impact Case: YoungCapital

Talent development of employees and candidates by linking them to unpaid work: YoungCapital took the plunge and achieved an impact record.

The challenge: converting the talent of employees and temporary agency talent into impact

YoungCapital is the largest employment agency for young people in the Netherlands. Thousands of people apply every day to find work. They asked themselves the zero-dollar question: "What if we also match all our talents with unpaid work, so that they can use these diverse talents to make a difference where it's truly needed?"

A wild idea for a staffing agency, but one that showcases their core values. A deep belief and trust in the talent of young people. And a desire not to let that talent go to waste. Or even to turn it into an opportunity, YoungCapitals style – because volunteering doesn't preclude paid employment; it actually develops talent.

But how do you connect all those thousands of young people with something worthwhile based on their talent? And how do you do that smartly and easily, fitting into the available time in the (work) schedules of both young talents and colleagues?

The solution: an API connection and your own impact hub

Together, we developed a brand-new API integration. This gives all new YoungCapital candidates the opportunity to find do-good jobs that truly match the interests they've already entered on the YoungCapital website.

Taking action has been made as easy as possible on their own impact hub in the YoungCapital look & feel:

• SSO login Based on a YoungCapital account. In other words: log in with the same account and save time.
• Suitable matches to be sent
• Special YoungCapital impact challenges, with which you can make a difference in just 5 minutes and experience how good that feels

Of course, YoungCapital employees also participated, with a customized CSR program. Curious? In the video above, you can see a few colleagues in action.

Result: 32.000 hours of impact in 1 year + 84% match (in 19 days)

Big and hairy dreams Leading to a major impact: more than 32.000 hours of volunteer work were provided in 2024. This is a record: no other company generated as many hours and donated as much talent through its platform as YoungCapital in 2024.

Besides quantity, the quality and efficiency of doing good are also on point. 84% of changemakers found an impact activity to their liking. And that after an average of just 19 days.
