Question ID: 758654
We are an IT Recruitment Agency currently based in England and are
considering opening a branch in Holland/Netherlands in Amsterdam.

1	In which geographical regions of Holland are the most IT companies based. 

For example in the UK it is fair to say that Cambridge, The Thames
Valley region and Surrey are all major concentrations of Software
companies where as Cornwall is not.

2	Where can I get a list of the top 500/1000 Software companies in Holland?

3	Where can I get a list of the 500/1000 Companies in Holland based on
number of employees.

4	Which locations in Holland have the largest shortage of IT skills
and which skills are in the shortest supply

If you cannot answer all 4 questions I will happily pay $25 per question

Thanks

Mike
