1. Introduction
1.1 Mission
We believe the future is about people. Students often do simple jobs but can do so much more. What they lack in work experience, they more than compensate in skills. They grew up with digital and are eager to get work experience.
Whats.work matched local entrepreneurs with local students and young professionals. Whats.work is not an intermediary, employment agency or secondment agency.
1.2 Scope
Working at the minimum hourly rate per age is outdated. The platform Whats.work offers tools enabling students to decide when they work, whom they work for and how much they want to earn.
These are the Terms for the Service called Whats.work, which is provided by FindMatchWork B.V. whose registered office is at Lisdoddelaan 92, Amsterdam, registered at the chamber of commerce of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), registrant number being 83274588 – through the url https://www.whats.work.
