How our experience and expertise can help you
What began as an international expansion of a Dutch recruitment concept grew into an independent agency that helps Dutch companies succeed in Sweden. Meet Beyondo, founded by Karin and Guido, a duo that literally and figuratively speaks the language of both markets.
When Karin, born and raised in Sweden, got the chance to return to her home country with her family—after living and working in the Netherlands for twenty years—to set up Undutchables there, it felt like a unique opportunity. “I knew the culture, spoke the language, and had years of experience in recruitment and relationship management in the Netherlands,” she says. “It felt like coming home, but in a new professional context.”
The collaboration with Undutchables provided a solid foundation. “It was a valuable period in which we learned how the Dutch recruitment model translated to the Swedish market,” says Karin. “But we also discovered that you can’t always copy a formula one-to-one. Sweden requires a different approach—and that wasn’t a limitation, but rather an opportunity.”

A new step, in mutual agreement
After five successful years, a new opportunity arose to build something independent. In good consultation with Undutchables, Beyondo was born: an independent agency focused on guiding Dutch companies in their expansion to Sweden. “Undutchables has always supported this step,” Karin emphasises. “We’re still partners in supporting clients active in Sweden and vice versa.”
In this new phase, Karin’s husband Guido also joined. He brought his commercial experience from both the Netherlands and Sweden. “We saw that more and more Dutch companies were not only looking for international talent but specifically for local Swedish professionals,” Karin explains. “They wanted to know how to build a team in Sweden, how to find the right people, and how to avoid losing months to cultural differences or legal pitfalls.”
Local knowledge, international mindset
What makes Beyondo unique is the combination of local knowledge and an international mindset. “We literally and figuratively speak the language of our clients,” says Guido. “We understand where Dutch companies are coming from, and we know how things work here.”
Beyondo helps companies with:
Recruitment of local talent
We recruit Swedish- and English-speaking professionals who not only fit the role but also align with Dutch company culture. Think of multilingual candidates with the right mindset and work ethic.
Tailored HR advice
We advise on Swedish labour laws, contract types, employment conditions, and cultural expectations—so you’re both compliant and attractive as an employer.
Team building and local support
We help set up a local team that works in and for Sweden — from first hires to building a sustainable, well-functioning organisation.
Market entry support through partners
Through our network, we guide the process of registering a local entity, including practical matters like administration, payroll, and legal structure.
Access to a trusted network
We connect you with relevant partners, experts, and professionals in Sweden—people we know, trust, and work with ourselves.
Why choose an external partner for your launch?
“International expansion sounds appealing, but in practice, it’s often more complex than expected,” says Guido. “You don’t have to do it all yourself. With a partner who knows the market, you avoid mistakes, save time, and build success faster.”
Karin and Guido would love to chat—no pressure.
