Next Wave Detachering

Next Wave Detachering connects students and young professionals with employers seeking flexible, motivated support aligned to business needs. The company helps students find career-oriented part-time work and work-study roles that match their academic background, interests, and professional aspirations. Next Wave was founded by Ben de Vries, a double-degree student in Business Administration and Law at Erasmus University Rotterdam, who recognised improvements needed in the recruitment industry and built those principles into Next Wave's operations.

For students, the company matches part-time opportunities to individual study backgrounds, interests, and ambitions rather than generic work like shelf-stocking or food delivery. Students across finance, accountancy, law, business administration, economics, marketing, HR, communication and other professional fields gain relevant work experience, good compensation, and career development. For employers, students provide 8-24 hours weekly availability to ease workload, with the option to employ young professionals recently graduated and seeking to build careers. Next Wave also offers young professionals completing studies who seek to develop further in their chosen careers.

Candidates and employers value Next Wave for their belief that successful matching requires attention beyond available hours to study background, interests, ambitions and team fit. The company connects people to employers and opportunities thoughtfully, creating roles where both candidate and organisation benefit. Students gain good remuneration, CV enhancement, professional skills development, and valuable connections for later careers. Employers gain cost-effective staffing additions whilst contributing meaningfully to professional development of emerging talent.
