Helping Expats Land Dutch Jobs
I will share recruiter insights, strategies and tools to help you navigate the Dutch job market.
How expats struggle to get hired in the Netherlands
If you’re applying for work here, chances are you have felt very frustrated (I know I have!):
- You apply regularly, but rarely hear back
- You’re qualified and yet, no interviews
- You’re unsure whether it’s your CV, your visa, language or something else
- You feel like you are doing all you can but get little results and rarely any feedback
What Dutch recruiters actually look for
The average recruiter will spend 10 to 20 seconds max on your CV and will mainly look for 3 things:
01.
Clarity
A short and clear CV will beat a long complete CV any day.
02.
Role Fit
Someone who fits what they are looking for at this moment.
03.
Hiring Risk
A feeling of trust that you will stay in the Netherlands for an extended period.
These are crucial points, if anything is unclear to the recruiter, they will skip to the next CV and likely reject you.
It is not because you are less qualified, it is because your CV is less easy to evaluate.
Communication is culture based and a CV is a means of communication. Once you understand that, it becomes easier.
I will explain the hiring process from the point of view of a recruiter so you can:
- Structure your CV in a way that is clear to Dutch recruiters
- Position your experience clearly
- Avoid common mistakes on your CV, LinkedIn and during interviews
- Understand how the process works and how decisions are made
A “spray and pray” approach is very inefficient (I’ve been there). I will help you position yourself more clearly and adopt a more methodical strategy
