marktplaats vacancies

It all started on May 19, 1999, when the domain www.marktplaats.nl was first released and the 32-year-old entrepreneur René van Mullem became its proud owner. Together with 16-year-old Robin Schuil he built the first prototype of the website. The name of the site appeared at the top in Times New Roman, and René borrowed the terra color from Vincent van Gogh's painting 'Bedroom in Arles'. Not because they are particularly beautiful colors, but simply because they don't really bother anybody. Since then, many things have changed, but these design choices are still at the heart of the current brand. In fact, recent MRI research and the Implicit Association Test (IAT) show that the color and logo remind no less than 70% of people directly of Marktplaats - a very strong trigger indeed.
