Work in the Netherlands

Job market in the Netherlands

There are lots of opportunities for expats to work in the Netherlands. The country is home to a wide range of international and multinational companies; Dutch internationals alone include ING Group, Royal Dutch Shell Group, Unilever, Philips, and Heineken. There’s also plenty of recruitment agencies aimed at placing foreign workers in jobs in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands has a relatively stable economy backed by plenty of foreign investment encouraged by advantageous tax conditions. The country also has a diverse, well-educated population, almost 24% of whom are foreign or ethnic minorities.

Unemployment figures are among the lowest in the EU, standing at 3.2% in December 2019. In fact, this is well below the EU average of 6.2%.

There are a number of thriving and growing job sectors in the Netherlands. These include agriculture and food, creative industries, chemicals, energy, IT, health and life sciences, logistics and the service industry.

Job vacancies in the Netherlands

Highly-skilled workers in the Netherlands are in great demand, so much so that there’s a fast-track immigration process to get them in. There are also tax benefits (the 30% tax ruling) for some international employees.

This group includes engineers, those with technical skills, IT specialists, those working in finance, as well as people with experience of working in sales, marketing, and customer service.

Other in-demand jobs in the Netherlands include professionals and graduates working in health care, tax, interim managers and education.

You can see the industries with the highest vacancies, as well as vacancies in the public and education sectors.

Job salaries in the Netherlands

According to Numbeo, the average monthly net salary in the Netherlands is just over €2,341 a month. The income and salary site Gemiddeld Inkomen lists starting salaries for various positions.

Highest monthly starting salaries are for dentistry (€4,000) and pharmacy (€3,300). Lowest starting salaries for skilled positions are dance and music (€1,200) and visual art and design (€1,300).

What are you worth? Find out more about the Dutch minimum wage

In terms of average salaries, the Netherlands scores quite highly out of EU countries. According to 2018 figures, labor costs in the Netherlands were the 5th highest in Europe and over 25% above the EU average.

The minimum wage in the Netherlands is dependent on age and reviewed bi-annually. The current monthly minimum wage for full-time work for those 21 and over is €1,653.60.

Work culture in the Netherlands

The Dutch usually work a 36-40-hour week, sometimes spread over just four days. In general, work in the Netherlands is very well-structured within organizations. Most work happens during normal working hours (i. e., between 9am and 5pm), although out of hours and shift-work is also common. Unless at managerial level, employees are not typically expected to work overtime.

Dutch society is relatively egalitarian and this translates into the workplace. In fact, Dutch companies often have a horizontal organizational structure and they usually follow step-by-step plans.

Read more in our guide to Dutch business culture

Labor laws and rights in the Netherlands

Dutch labor laws are quite extensive and tend to favor the employee, especially when it comes to dismissal. Your contract should specify the full details of your contract including the length of the contract, employee rights, and work conditions.

Labor agreements in several Dutch industries have been drawn up as a result of collective labor agreements (collectieve arbeidsovereenkomst – CAO). Employees can benefit from these even if they do not belong to a union.

Read even more in our guide to Dutch labor law.

Requirements to work in the Netherlands

Work visas in the Netherlands

If you’re from the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA – EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway), or Switzerland, you are free to live and work in the Netherlands without the need for a work or residence permit.

However, you will need to register with the Dutch authorities. Read about the process for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens moving to the Netherlands.

If you’re from anywhere else, your employer will typically need a work permit (tewerkstellingsvergunning or TWV) for you, and you must also hold a residence permit.

Most employees will qualify for the single work and residence permit in the Netherlands, although some categories of people, such as students in the Netherlands and seasonal workers in the Netherlands, still need separate work and residence permits. Others, such as highly-skilled workers in the Netherlands and holders of the EU Blue Card, only need residence permits, not work permits.

Find out more in our comprehensive guide to Dutch work permits

Language requirements to work in the Netherlands

You don’t have to speak Dutch to work in the Netherlands – in fact, English is the main business language in many companies. However, it increases your chances if you do. You will probably end up working in the Netherlands for a large international company if you don’t speak Dutch.

If you work for a smaller company then you will generally need to be able to speak Dutch in order to participate in a meeting or make a presentation.

Expats who speak French, German, Dutch, or a Scandinavian language are always in demand. To learn Dutch, you can find many Dutch language courses in the Netherlands.

Qualifications to work in the Netherlands

Your chance of finding work in the Netherlands is greater if you hold at least a Bachelor’s degree. To find out whether your qualification is recognized or your profession regulated in the Netherlands, visit Nuffic (the organization for international co-operation in education).

If you get an interview for a job, you’ll need to show original testimonials or references from former employers. Because of this, make sure you bring diplomas, degree certificates, and employer testimonials when you move to the Netherlands.

Tax and social security numbers in the Netherlands

You will also need a Citizen Service Number (burgerservicenummer or BSN) before you start work in the Netherlands. Everyone needs this personal tax and social security number, and you get it when you register at the city hall on your arrival.

Find out more about the Dutch social security system.

How to find jobs in the Netherlands

Expatica jobs

On Expatica jobs, you can find a constantly changing selection of jobs, both English-speaking and multi-language, in sales, IT and other industries in Amsterdam, other major Dutch cities and elsewhere across the Netherlands.

EURES

If you’re from the EU, EEA or Switzerland, you can search for jobs in the Netherlands on the EURES (European Employment Services) website. EURES is a job portal network maintained by the European Commission which is designed to facilitate free movement within the EEA.

As well as searching for work, you can post CVs and get advice on the legal and administrative issues involved in working in the Netherlands (or any other country in the EU/EEA or Switzerland).

UWV

The UVW Werkzoekenden site is the public employment service and has a network of partner sites and employment agencies. You can visit one of their branches to get advice and information as well as look for jobs in the Netherlands.

Job websites

Many companies list vacancies directly with recruitment agencies (see below), where you can find extensive lists of job websites in the Netherlands. However, some jobs can also be found on online employment databases, such as:

Expatica Jobs – English-language and multilingual jobs
Monsterboard – in Dutch only
National Vacature Bank – in Dutch only
Stepstone
Top Language Jobs – English-language and multilingual jobs

Company job websites and speculative applications

If there are no vacancies in the companies in which you’d like to work, consider writing to them directly on spec with an unsolicited application. In fact, Dutch companies are often happy for prospective employees to use this approach to find work in the Netherlands.

It’s important to contact the right person though, so check companies’ job websites or contact the company directly.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) also posts a list of recognized employers/sponsors (companies and organizations) who have permission to bring highly skilled workers to the Netherlands with preferential immigration conditions, including not needing a work permit.

Contact the individual companies on the list to find what jobs in the Netherlands might be available.

Jobs in Dutch newspapers

There are vacancies (vacatures) advertised in Dutch print newspapers although these are generally senior positions within international companies. If that’s what you’re looking for, you can check the following newspapers in print version or see their affiliate job websites:

Telegraaf
NRC (carrières)
Volkskrant (vacatures)
Ad
Metro

Networks

Finding work through both personal contacts and social media is acceptable in the Netherlands. There are many expats in the Netherlands, and by linking into this network you might find a job through word-of-mouth or personal contact. See a list of business networking groups and business clubs for expats in the Netherlands.

Also, think about joining a business club, professional association or networking group, such as the Amsterdam American Business Club, Kea (for New Zealanders), Connecting Women and Women’s Business Initiative (networking for women), or SENSE, a professional network for editors, writers, copywriters, translators, interpreters and teachers of English.

Meet-up will put you in touch with hundreds of groups of like-minded people in cities all over the Netherlands. The meet-up groups can be work- or interest-related and if you don’t see a group that suits your interests or job, you can always create your own group to see who joins.

International Job Fair: Expat jobs in the Netherlands

Our annual International Job Fair allows you to meet prospective employers from a wide range of industries face-to-face, make contact with multilingual recruiters, take part in workshops to improve your job-hunting efforts and apply for jobs in the Netherlands.

The 2020 Expatica International Fair will be held on 4 October at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam.

Self-employment and freelancing in the Netherlands

Approximately 16.7% of the Dutch population are self-employed, including many foreign residents. Anyone can start up their own business in the Netherlands if they have a residence permit and the right to seek employment.

See our guide to starting a business and self-employment in the Netherlands

Traineeships, internships, and volunteering in the Netherlands

University graduates in the Netherlands can find traineeships and internships through many places such as:

the European Commission Traineeships Office (Bureau de Stages) for EU traineeships
AIESEC for internships and summer placements for recent graduates
IAESTE for students in science, engineering, and applied arts
Globalplacement
Intern Abroad

If you are between 17 and 30 years old, you can apply for volunteer programs with the European Voluntary Service (EVS). You can work abroad for up to 12 months in exchange for board, food, insurance and a small allowance. For more volunteer opportunities, also check Concordia.

A volunteer in Dutch is a vrijwilliger and there are many opportunities depending on your skills. Expat advice center ACCESS is always on the lookout for volunteers in its offices in Den Haag.

Applying for a job in the Netherlands

Job application processes in the Netherlands are fairly similar to those in many other countries. You generally need to send or CV or fill in an application form. For more skilled positions, these will usually need to be accompanied by a cover letter.

If you are successful at this initial stage, you will then typically be invited to an interview. This may also be accompanied by a skills test, depending on the role you have applied for.

Your prospective employer may request references from previous employers or educational establishments to vouch for your credentials. This doesn’t always happen and is more common among big international companies, but you should be prepared to have one or two good references to hand.

To find out how to adapt your CV and cover letter to work in the Netherlands, as well as how to conduct yourself in a Dutch job interview, read our article on Dutch CVs and interview tips.

Support while looking for a job in the Netherlands

The Netherlands Employee Insurance Agency (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemers Verzekeringen – UWV) provides information and support for those looking for a job in the Netherlands.

The UVW also administrates unemployment benefit in the Netherlands. However, benefits are insurance-based and determined by the amount of time you have spent working in the country.

Foreign residents usually can’t access social security benefits when the first move to the Netherlands. Even EU/EFTA residents have to wait three months before they can make a claim.

Find out more in our guide to Dutch social security

There is continuing vocational and educational training (CVET) for those unemployed and looking for work in the Netherlands. This is mostly through private sector providers, although some government funding is available to access courses. This is usually restricted to those who are eligible for unemployment benefits.

Starting a job in the Netherlands

Once you have been fortunate enough to find a job in the Netherlands, there are a few things that you might want to consider and sort out. These include:

checking if your employer has enrolled you in insurance schemes such as accident insurance. If not, it might be worth taking out any work-based insurances you’re not covered for. See our guide to insurance in the Netherlands for even more information;
looking into what the pension arrangements are with your employer, and whether you might want to top up with private pension arrangements. See Expatica’s guide to pensions in the Netherlands for further details;
making the necessary income tax arrangements, for example, checking if you are eligible for the 30% ruling allowance. Read even more in our guide to income tax in the Netherlands

Jobs in The Netherlands for English speakers

Are you looking for jobs in The Netherlands for English speakers? Then you have come to the right place! The Netherlands, also known as Holland, is one of the most multicultural countries in Europe. This flat land of cheese, clogs and windmills is home to the Dutch, where 90% speak English. That means there are a lot of English speaking jobs available. It doesn’t matter whether you’re here for studying or you’re an expat, we on YoungCapital have you covered.

English Speaking Jobs

Because of our incredible grasp of English, it isn’t a surprise for English speakers to choose to live in the Netherlands, that’s why there are plenty of expat jobs on offer. With sprawling cities, you can find English speaking jobs in Amsterdam, jobs in Utrecht, and jobs in Rotterdam. You can also find English speaking jobs in Groningen, jobs in Maastricht, and jobs in Tilburg. Whew!

Living in The Netherlands is an excellent experience. The Dutch are tall, love their “drop”, and there are more bicycles here than people! The historic cities are beautiful with their canals, charming cobbled streets and the occasional “coffee shop.” We export the worlds Tulips, and we are the number one country for growing cucumbers! Did you also know the Netherlands was the first country to legalise same-sex marriage? Yup, we are all about tolerance and love but expect eye contact and criticism when talking to a Dutchie. It’s all about a delicate balance. Yeah, we are direct, but we are super friendly, too!

The Netherlands has a lower than average crime rate compared to its other European counterparts; most people feel and are safe here. Yes, it’s one of the smallest countries but the population is dense with a gezellig plus 17 million people, so that’s a pretty good statistic if we do say so ourselves. Housing is diverse and affordable, and us Dutch appreciate a decent work-life balance. With just as many part-time work opportunities, part-time workers enjoy full workers rights and benefits as full-time workers. What’s not to like?

We also have a special relationship with the North Sea; as the country is mostly under sea level, we like to keep an eye on it. So in turn, climate change and the environment is super important to us. And, yes it is true we do like to dive in the frigid waters each new year. What can we say, it’s a traditie!

If you’re planning on moving here, luckily, The Netherlands is apart of the European Union and allows fellow members from other EU countries free access to live and work here. You won’t need a permit. However, if you’re planning to stay longer than three months, you will need to register yourself with the IND (immigration and naturalisation service). If you’re from another part of the world, you will need to apply for a work permit.

Expat Jobs in The Netherlands

Finding expat jobs in the Netherlands isn’t hard to do. With a range of international and multinational companies, finding expat jobs shouldn’t be too tricky, especially if you have qualifications, a lot of Dutch companies are looking for. If you have just left uni or you’re a highly-skilled migrant – there will be a job for you.

Once you have found a job that looks perfect for you, you will need to prepare your application. A Dutch CV starts with your details, and then it should list all your work experience, including part-time and volunteering. You should also list your skills and qualities you may have bought to each of your work experiences. Now it’s time to move on to education, starting with your last place of study. You can also add details about any extracurricular activities. Now it’s time to move on to some personal information, like interests and hobbies. But keep this area brief! And now end with some references. We like CVs to be kept to two pages maximum. You should always include a cover letter, tailored made for the company and the job position.

Now we have the Dutch CV covered; we will talk about jobs in The Netherlands for English speakers. Is it no surprise that jobs in Amsterdam happen to be the most popular location to find English speaking jobs. Amsterdam is the capital city of The Netherlands and has a roaring tourist trade. If you’re a graduate or a student, having the ability to speak English at a bar or the tourist offices is a significant advantage. Of course, there is plenty of small and large businesses who rely on international sales that require an English speaker, especially native. English is the worlds’ business language; after all, that’s why English speaking jobs in Amsterdam is popular. Being the hub of Europe, it is also a prime location to find startup jobs in Amsterdam. How cool would it be to join a new and flourishing company?

Other locations in the Netherlands need English speakers for their job positions. You can find English jobs in Maastricht, English speaking jobs in Utrecht and of course English jobs in Rotterdam.

You may already be in the Netherlands if you have studied here in the capital. To help with college or uni costs, it’s a good idea to find part-time jobs in Amsterdam or any kind of student jobs in Amsterdam.

Jobs in the Netherlands: vacancies from 1400.00 € in the Netherlands

The unstable economic and political situation in their homeland is forcing millions of citizens of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and other CIS countries to look for work abroad, leaving their familiar habitat, relatives and friends. 80 percent of migrants, as a rule, choose European countries for employment: Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain or Bulgaria, but few people know that there is another economically prosperous country with favorable working conditions for foreigners, namely the Netherlands.

According to the latest statistics, in 2019 more than 80,000 citizens from the post-Soviet countries live and officially work in the Netherlands, which corresponds to 0. 6% of the total population of the country. Living conditions are also comfortable due to the fact that the Netherlands ranks 6th in the EU in terms of quality and standard of living.

How can I officially find a job in the Netherlands? Do you need permissions? What are the most in-demand jobs? How much can you earn per season? Today we will try to answer your most common questions.

ᐈ What are the popular job openings in the Netherlands?

The most in demand in the country are qualified employees of such industries as:

Medicine;
Trade;
IT industry;
Construction;
Agriculture.

The country also has a particularly developed tourism sector, a significant percentage of which are clients from post-Soviet countries. As a rule, the most popular vacancies in these areas are waiters, hostesses, administrators, laundresses and maids. Work experience and knowledge of foreign languages are welcome and are a mandatory requirement for high-paying offers.

Also, the local labor market always needs such specialists as:

Handymen;
Cooks;
Drivers;
Babysitters;
Maids.

Offers for seasonal work – picking fruits and flowers are regularly updated. Appropriate for both women and couples.

ᐈ What is the salary and what does it depend on?

The level of wages in the Netherlands is considered one of the highest in the EU – a qualified employee here can receive a salary of up to 5,000 euros per month, and a handyman – up to 3,000 euros. The salary depends on many factors: the place of employment, the availability of work experience and the level of knowledge of foreign languages. The more extensive and diverse the resume of a candidate for a position, the more competitive he is.

The average salary of the most popular professions is:

Pickers in factories – from 1700 euros;
Specialists in the collection of seasonal fruits, vegetables, flowers – from 1500 euros;
Handymen – from 1700 euros;
Drivers – from 2000 euros;
Babysitters and housekeepers in the family – from 3000 euros.

Also, many employers provide comfortable working conditions, a social insurance package and guarantees.

ᐈ What are the stages of preparing documents for getting a job?

A mandatory requirement for long-term labor migration to the Netherlands (from 3 months) is the GVVA document, which includes both a residence permit and the right to work in the country. Issued by the Dutch Immigration and Naturalization Service for a period of 1 year, renewable thereafter. Exempted from receiving it are students of local universities, specialists in seasonal work or those with a contract lasting less than 3 months.

A work visa is required for legal employment. Required documents to obtain it:

Completed visa application form;
Copies and original of foreign document;
Proof of qualifications and work experience;
Medical insurance;
Copy of employment contract;
Bank statement;
Certificate of vaccination against tuberculosis.

A notarized translation of all documents is required. The average period for obtaining a visa corresponds to 1-2 months.

ᐈ What are the prices and accommodation options?

The quality of housing is an important factor in finding employment abroad. In the Netherlands, employers, as a rule, provide free accommodation in comfortable conditions (rooms for 4 people with a separate kitchen and bathroom), payment is taken only for utilities (according to the meter). Less often – the settlement is paid, from 3 euros per day.

Catering at the company, as a rule, is paid – from 160 euros per month. Given the high wages, related expenses are minimal, at the end of the contract period it is possible to return home with a large amount of saved money in your pocket.

We recommend that you find out from the employer in advance the working and living conditions – if there is a discrepancy between what you want and what you get, it is better to look for an alternative to the proposed vacancy.

ᐈ What are the advantages and disadvantages of working in Holland?

Undoubtedly, the Netherlands offers comfortable working conditions for labor migrants from the CIS countries. Many of our compatriots note the cleanliness and well-groomed streets, ease of use of public transport and, most importantly, high wages. Not in vain, more than 70 percent of labor migrants a year after living in Holland apply for a residence permit in the country.

But there are also disadvantages to be prepared for. The first is knowledge of foreign languages, at least English. Even an average level of knowledge of it will allow you to find a more competitive vacancy and the opportunity to grow professionally. Secondly, the cost of travel and food is, on average, 35% higher than in other EU countries. And the last – as with employment in any other country or at home, it is necessary to carefully approach the search for an employer. Due to the increase in cases of fraud, we recommend that you carefully read all the conditions of employment and carefully consider all possible risks.

We wish you good luck and successful employment!

How can a Ukrainian refugee find a job in the Netherlands?
What job can you find without knowing the language?
How to find a job for a highly qualified specialist?

We will answer these and other questions on this page. Answers will be updated as information is received from the authorities

Is it possible to work in the Netherlands with temporary protection status?

What to do if you cannot find a permanent job. In what form can you legally earn extra money without losing benefits?

From April 1, 2022:

Refugees from Ukraine who are able and willing to work will have access to the Dutch labor market.
The government is canceling the obligation to have a work permit from 1 April.
However, there are some conditions to provide additional protection to this vulnerable group of people.
For example, you may only be employed.
The employer must also register the worker with the responsible UWV organization no later than two business days before the start of work, and provide information such as working hours and place of work.

Can I work in the Netherlands with temporary protection status?

Yes, you can. You don’t need to do anything yourself. Companies have been given permission to hire you. Companies have an obligation to inform the Dutch UWV authority that they are hiring you.

How long can I work in the Netherlands with temporary protection status?

There are no clear restrictions at the moment. In general, the benchmark in time is the duration of the status of temporary protection. According to it, we have data so far that it is 180 days, then it can be extended for another six months. And so for a total period of up to 3 years. Much will be decided on how the situation with the war in Ukraine will develop.

If the temporary protection ends, will I have to leave immediately? Can the term of the contract be extended? What if I want to leave before the end of the contract?

Based on the current situation, we do not know about the decisions of the Dutch government how the status of temporary protection will be removed / terminated. We assume (!) that it will not be in one day, that it will be a period and / or several stages.
We assume (!) that they will give time to finalize before the end of the contract.
You always have the right to terminate the contract ahead of time. The contract will spell out under what conditions: for what period of time you will need to notify the company that you are going to quit. As a rule, the maximum period is 1 month, but it is possible that you will agree with the employer for a shorter or longer period

What documents are required for employment?

Passport, BSN number. If you have just set a date for obtaining a BSN number, then the company can hire you. For this, a so-called “transitional period” has been introduced until April 15. It is up to the company to decide whether a company will take on a job awaiting a BSN.

What else do you need to get a job?

Bank account (bank card) to which your salary will be transferred. As a rule, in companies, all data is entered into a program (system), and then all operations for payroll, payment, and the formation of “salary receipts” are automated. What does this mean? What is more convenient for a company when you provide all the data and documents at the same time, when signing a contract.

Will I work “in the open”?

Under Dutch law, when you are hired, a company must enter into an employment contract with you. Penalties for illegal employment are high, so companies operating legally in the Netherlands do not engage in undocumented employment.
What kind of employment contract can be concluded with me?
A common practice is to first sign an employee on a temporary contract. This means that the contract has an end date – for 3 months, for half a year, for a year. At the end of the contract, it can be extended or not. As a rule, companies do not hide their intentions regarding an employee: if an employee is needed only for 3 months (seasonal or project work), then this is discussed during an interview or when concluding a contract. If the company intends to “test” how the employee and the company fit together, then this is also talked about openly. Feel free to clarify this issue.

What happens to my benefits if I go to work?

leefgeld’s benefits stop when the person starts getting paid. The allowance is withdrawn only from the employee. Dependents (children, parents) are not charged. The benefit will stop being paid from the beginning of next month. For example: to return to work in April means that benefits will be withdrawn from May 1.

Will I need to pay for health insurance if I go to work?

Until August 1, there was a rule that if you go to work, you start paying for insurance yourself. As of August 1, 2022, it has been cancelled.

Where do you go to get a job without knowing the language?

Start in the nearest places where the language is least needed, but the laborers are needed. Namely: the nearest supermarkets (layout of goods), farms (seasonal work on vegetables, fruits, flowers, work in greenhouses), hotel cleaning, dishwasher in a restaurant

Netherlands – for smartphones and computers

What is this allowance and how much is it in 2022

Since raising a child in the Netherlands is not cheap, the state pays an allowance for children from 0 to 18 years old. It is paid only to working parents once a quarter. In Dutch, it is called kinderbijslag, and the organization SVB (Sociale Verzekeringsbank) is responsible for paying it. The benefit is accrued at the end of the quarter (January, April, July, October)

up to 5 years	230.69 euros in quarter
from 6 to 11 years old	280.13 euros in quarter
from 12 to 17 years old	329.56 euros in quarter

in the Gollandic Working Ukrainians in the status of temporary protection can apply for benefits, as stated on the SVB website.

How to find a job in the Netherlands (Holland)

Work in Holland is becoming more and more attractive for specialists of various spectrums. Highly qualified employees receive decent wages, prestigious conditions, and get the opportunity to take their career to a new European level. In this case, for many, Holland becomes a country of opportunity, but how to find a job in Holland and what should you be prepared for?

Conclusion

What you need to know about employment in the Netherlands

Despite the fact that the demand for work in the Netherlands is growing, not everyone knows about the features that await them at each stage. We will consider the largest possible number of aspects that affect a positive experience of employment in the Netherlands.

First of all, I would like to note that the employer offers a large number of social guarantees for its employees. Having settled officially, but it doesn’t work out differently, you have the opportunity to receive high-quality medical care, reliability in the future, since you will not be fired at the first whim, as well as protection from unauthorized processing.

Work in the Netherlands is possible only if there are legal reasons for that. Penalties for hiring illegal workers are very high, which is why employers themselves want to hire only officially, through an agreement of one type or another.

Another important aspect noted by the employees themselves is the high level of security. Compliance of working conditions in the workplace with established standards is important for both employees and the employer.

Job search

Any employment begins with a job search. You can approach this issue in two ways: to find a job in Holland yourself, through an agency.

Using the first method, you can independently select suitable vacancies through the use of search engines, send a resume, pass an interview and start collecting the necessary documents. This method has several disadvantages:

Unreliable employer. Unfortunately, looking for a job from abroad always runs the risk of contacting scammers or unscrupulous employers who use the vacancy they like only as bait. In most cases, even a careful study of reviews does not help to avoid risk.
The complexity of the device for a prestigious and reliable enterprise. If you do not have international merit, it is unlikely that the employer will want to take on the responsibility associated with paperwork and waiting for a new employee until he settles all issues with obtaining a residence permit or work permit.

Finding a job with specialists allows you to avoid all the negative nuances. The companies select only reliable employers, take care of visas, residence permits and other documents required for legal employment.

Obtaining a work visa to the Netherlands

An MVV document entitles a person to legally work in the Netherlands. This visa is issued for different periods of time. You can get a visa for 24 weeks with the right to further extension, get a visa for 3 years or a short-term visa without the right to extend.

In order to receive a document, after finding a job in the Netherlands, you need to send a package of documents to the Dutch embassy. It must include:

A completed work permit from an employer provided by the company you are applying for.
Foreign passport.
Education documents.
Contract concluded with the employer.
Insurance provided by the host country.

Visa Application.
Certificates of financial independence. It is important that the citizen proves that he does not claim social incentives and benefits.

If you hold a blue card, or your work in Holland is seasonal and will last no more than 3 months, you will not need a work visa.

Jobs in demand

A decent job in the Netherlands is available to everyone. However, in recent years, the country’s labor market has been inclined to accept foreign specialists in the field of programming, medicine, and logistics. Without a specialized education, you can get a job in the Netherlands in the field of sales, a driver, a cook, an unskilled worker at a construction site. By the way, the construction site welcomes high-level Russian and Ukrainian specialists, electricians, etc.

High-class specialists are always in demand. Often, foreign highly qualified workers are preferred by the employer over local candidates. However, for this it is necessary to have significant merits in your field, since, a priori, education in the Netherlands is considered to be of higher quality than in the post-CIS countries.

Seasonal work

Seasonal work in Holland is also in demand. In the country, every hectare of land is used as efficiently as possible. This leads to the fact that farmers need to attract outside labor for harvesting. As a rule, such seasonal work in the Netherlands lasts up to 3 months within 6 months. To find seasonal work, you need to contact visa specialists, or study the advertisement offered by farmers if you already live in the Netherlands. Also, an intermediary can come to the rescue, who will find suitable job options.

Long-term employment

After going through the search and employment path, you can get a long-term contract for an internship, a specific project, or a permanent job. In case of long-term employment, the contract specifies the working conditions, the conditions for breaking the employment relationship, the duration of the contract. It is necessary to carefully study all the conditions before leaving for work in the Netherlands (Holland). It is worth paying attention to the clause on non-disclosure of information, and the length of the period that this clause remains valid after the expiration of the contract.

Conclusion

Finding a job in Amsterdam is not easy if you decide on your own. It is much easier to do this with the help of specialists. In addition, the passed path of paperwork is definitely worth it. Working in the Netherlands gives you the opportunity to develop, receive high wages and decent conditions.

Life and work in the Netherlands / Habr

Finally got around to continuing the article “Stories about my work in the Netherlands” – namely, it’s time to talk about the details of the move and share practical advice with future tractor drivers. I apologize to everyone who was waiting for this continuation much earlier. I will not expand on the reasons for the delay, but believe me, these were very busy months for me, and I could hardly take on this article at the time that I voiced earlier. By the way, my dear questioners in PM! You are, in fact, full contributors to this article, because some of your smart and sometimes unexpected questions would not have occurred to me myself, and others have made my task much easier. Instead of thinking about the outline of the article, submission, and so on, take the question-answer format, and you’re done. Dear nightstalker, ATmegAdriVeR, Flem_1, dmtrr, ChingizKhalafov, Carduelis, artem2511, gri_mih, Ommonick, these are your questions, I thank you very much. I hope from all readers too.

Well, I’ll start with a short story about how I got to life in the Netherlands.

Well, I really want to go to Europe

In 2014, I worked in a large international company in Moscow, and I had a desire to leave Russia for Europe or the States. Just at that moment, the boss said that our department was probably next in line to move to London. I was delighted, but after a couple of months we were told that the move was being postponed for an unknown period. Here you go. And I have already started watching the John Oliver show with Singleton whiskey and the same high tea! In short, I began to look for myself, where would I get a job. I sent my resume on Linked-In to all parts of the Earth, where, in principle, there was an opportunity to stumble. New Zealand, Canada, USA, UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy, and of course Holland. I quickly discovered that companies from Germany and the Netherlands were the most willing to respond. Yes, the familiar name “Holland” is a thing of the past, the country is officially called the Netherlands, although the word “Holland” continues to live – these are the two richest provinces of the country: North and South Holland.

German companies often demanded a degree in Computer Science, my degree in physics did not suit everyone. The Dutch are less picky, asking only about experience and knowledge. In a few months, I went through online testing and video interviews in two large companies: in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf. Was invited for an interview. It was very funny right at the door of the office in Amsterdam to run into my Moscow colleague, who also came for an interview. I flunked one interview, another offer did not suit me. I continued my search, and in the spring of 2015 I signed a contract with a company located near Amsterdam. The process of obtaining a visa and other papers has begun.

Of course, I did some research and I knew why the Netherlands was a good option. There is a high standard of living here, a lot of work for IT specialists, almost everyone speaks excellent English, and there is an immigration program for highly qualified specialists. The main bonus of this program is a significant tax rebate, 30% of your income will be tax-free for 5 years.

Papers, sir!

Handle paperwork responsibly. All major documents should be translated and apostilled. The HR specialist of the company will handle your case with the IND (Netherlands FMS) and will give you instructions about the documents. In large companies, this process is streamlined, they know the specifics of working with visitors from outside the EU, and you will have nothing to worry about. But if the company is medium or small in size, HR does not do this work all the time, but they constantly mess up. In our case, we were not told to translate and apostille the birth certificate. While everything worked out, it turned out that in some supplement to the regulations on kennismigrants (highly qualified specialists) it was separately noted that they might not provide a birth certificate. But, believe me, HR simply forgot about it, I had to look for a link to the relevant document myself, and we were asked for evidence several times, and I had to poke my nose into this very document. In addition, there is a chance that now, when applying for citizenship, the issue will become relevant again. In general, ask again about everything, do not be shy. At the same time, you will begin to get used to how the Dutch “relaxed” can relate to work. For you, the point here is that solving paper issues after the move can be much more problematic than before.

After submitting the documents to the consulate, some time passes and you get an MVV – an entry visa. Upon arrival in the Netherlands, within just a couple of days, you are issued a residence permit, usually for 6-7 months or a year, depending on the contract.

Useful advice : do not hesitate to ask the employer for some additional “goodies”. It’s normal, it’s called negotiations, and the Dutch are a nation of merchants. If you ask for too much, for example, the transportation of personal belongings by a container, settling in a small company, they will tell you so (by the way, giants like booking provide such a bonus). You will have a lot of stress, and if the company helps you in the ways available to it, save your nerves and time.
And one more piece of advice : whoever is going to go, I can sign you up in a Russian-language chat on Skype, they are happy to answer questions. There are many people, and there is an answer to almost everything.

And now the rubric “we asked – we answer” 😉

Where and how to look for a job?

I searched through linkedin dot com. You can see an excellent set of recommendations for writing a resume. Take some time to do this, don’t be tempted to just grab and download your profile as a PDF from linkedin. Contact recruiters locally through the same linkedin. You can contact me directly in a personal, I will “surrender” you to recruiters who are professional in their approach. I do not give links so as not to advertise.

What specializations and what level of specialists are in demand in the Netherlands?

I did a small survey among local recruiters, here are the results:

On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely is it to find a job with relocation from outside the EU :
- for junior developers? 4/10
- for mid-level developers? 7/10
- for senior developers? 9/10
- for junior-devops? 7/10
- for mid-level devops? 9/10
- for senior devops? 9/10
The EU has a rather strict age discrimination policy, however, in your experience, on a scale of 1-10 how likely it is to find a job from outside the EU :
- up to 30 y. o., junior/mid-level engineer 7/10
- up to 30 y. o., senior engineer 9/10
- 30-40y. o., junior/mid-level engineer (sounds weird, but there is a request) 5/10
- 30-40y. o., senior engineer 9/10
- 40+y. o., senior engineer 8/10
Please list the 3 most “hired” positions based on your experience (e.g. “Senior PHP Developer”) .

DevOps Engineer, Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Mid-level Javascript Developer, Senior Javascript Developer and system administration in particular?

First, you must meet the requirements for 30% ruling:

the company must be registered with the IND and pay fees so that its employees can receive the ruling
your salary must exceed a certain minimum: EUR 41641 / year if you are under 30, EUR 54781 / year if 30+. This is a pre-tax salary.

I must say that these are the minimum requirements, just steering is a must-have for an IT specialist moving to NL. But in fact, many companies pay only slightly more than this minimum to those who come from abroad. Just because they can. Newcomers still do not understand what salary is considered good, how much they can earn, etc. However, even 55,000 / year is significantly higher than the average salary in the country. I now think that from the very beginning, even in a small company, it is quite reasonable to demand a salary of about 63-65K. This is 5 with a little thousand per month (gross), it will be around 4000 in hand. Here is a site that will help you estimate net income per month depending on gross income: thetax.nl.

Larger companies may have more to offer, plus there may be a bonus scheme and other perks. But they usually do not seek to immediately give high salaries to visitors. Another thing is that upward revision of salary in a large company is a common thing, but in a small or medium one it is rather an exception.

Answering a specific question with specific numbers: for a Senior-engineer it is 60-80K/year. Some companies give a bonus based on the results of the financial year, for example, 5 – 15%.

Incidentally, the annual income in question is income plus holiday allowance. Holiday allowance = salary for the month 12 0.08, that is almost another salary. The fact is that sometimes this money is paid in one amount, usually in May, and sometimes it is spread evenly over 12 months.

Read the information on the link above to the Expatica project website – there are comprehensive answers to questions about ruling.

What rights do migrants have and how do they differ from the rights of citizens?

Read about this, as they say, in my new book called “No Way”. With the exception of political rights, becoming a resident gives you all the same rights and obligations as any Dutch person. You get the same child benefits, free schools (plus extra language tuition for your kids), and the same taxes and fees, minus the 30% discount.

What do I need to get citizenship?

Must have lived in NL for 5 years without leaving the country for more than 180 days a year. You need to pass exams on knowledge of the language and life in the country, its history and geography. You can even find language courses for free, some get practice by visiting Taalcafe (language cafe), where a Russian-speaking people and one or two Dutch people gather for a cup of coffee, who volunteer to communicate in their native language. Well, of course, any whim for your money, there are quite a few teachers. The exams are not too difficult, I have already passed 4 of the prescribed 5, the remaining one is still being checked.

Do I need a VO to get a work visa?

No.

What level of English should I have?

Good. Good understanding of oral and written speech (technical, Shakespeare does not need to be translated). You can speak and write yourself in very simple words and turns, but confidently.

Is it difficult to rent an apartment? What’s with the mortgage?

I strongly recommend that you at least ask your employer to somehow solve the issue of housing for you at the very first time. For a month, longer is better. This is real stress. Realtors do not answer letters from the word at all, do not always answer calls. Once we were on our way to sign a rental contract, when the realtor called and said that the apartment had already been rented out to other people. That is, she kept us until the last moment as a fallback, although someone else was the first in line. Renting a good apartment in Amsterdam costs from 1500 euros per month. Small-sized (say, 50 m2) housing is cheaper, but it is almost non-existent, so many people rent an apartment of 100 m2 for two. Spacious, of course, but also expensive. Some do this when moving together (this is if they failed to knock out housing from the company for the first time): the family member who got the job arrives, rents a room for a month, this is much easier than normal housing for a long time, and for this month, sometimes longer, finds an apartment. Living in a rented apartment has its pros and cons. Pros: if you have a normal landlord, you get his full responsibility for any repairs to everything that is in the apartment, unless the breakdown occurred through your own fault.

time for sordid stories and digressions . My friend, living in the UK, rented an apartment. One day, their mother-in-law came to visit them. What does the mother-in-law do when the foolish kids go to work and she stays alone in the apartment? That’s right, she puts a bowl of jam on the stove and goes to the store. Then he comes back and finds the police, firemen, smoke, noise, din, that’s all. The kitchen was, shall we say, ruined. The next day, a master came who serves several houses for RFP and fixes what is broken. He came, he saw, he fixed. Everything is free. My friend fussed under the guise and asked if it was also possible to replace the glass in the front door from single to double, otherwise it was blowing. The master looked at him and, with what seemed to my friend sincere regret, answered in the sense that he was repairing what was broken here, and the glass, you know, is still intact . .. While he was laying it all out, he slowly retreated with his back to the door and, coming close to her, he made a sharp movement with his foot in an army boot, moved his heel into that very glass and said with surprise: “Dude, your glass broke here! It’s good that I was there! , double. Is it probably blowing?”

But not only the advantages of rented accommodation. Firstly, not all landlords are equally useful, there are those who slaughter all your requests and appeals. Then, you can’t even drive a nail into the wall without the consent of the landlord, or else an N-th amount will be deducted from your deposit. Some landlords cling to your bail so much that they will fight you for every scratch. Here you need to defend your rights, since the relevant provisions are on your side and allow wear and tear on furniture and furnishings. In general, you need to return the premises in the form in which you received it. If you leave furniture that you personally bought there without approval, you will be deducted for its removal. I recommend that you take pictures of everything thoroughly when you check in. Unscrupulous realtors try to cash in on your ignorance of local laws and regulations. After a year of living in an apartment, they came to us with an offer to renew the contract “only for 350 euros”. In fact, a long-term rental contract is automatically renewed unless one of the parties notifies of its termination. In addition, in our case, the realtor worked for the landlord, and the law expressly forbids them in such cases to take money from both the landlord and the tenant (the so-called problem of a cross and underpants). In general, it is necessary to study the materiel so as not to get into a mess.

How comfortable is it to live in the Netherlands without knowing Dutch, only with English?

I know for sure that visitors from English-speaking countries often do not bother with the language. My British neighbor says that the Dutch, on average, speak English better than any other nation, excluding native speakers. A Dutchman, even if he does not have a university behind him, is most likely fluent in English. However, when communicating with some people, especially those from Arab countries, Dutch is useful. In these countries, people, especially without higher education, rarely speak English, and when they come here, of course, they only learn Dutch.

Is it safe around? Do aggressive drug addicts go?

No, they don’t. Very safe. The police keep a good eye on everything, although their presence is rarely noticed. In the most criminal district of Amsterdam – Beilmer Arena – unfortunately, sometimes in the dark you can stumble upon bad people who will pull out a bag or phone, but here, I think, there is less danger for us, because we are used to being on our guard. A much bigger problem is bike theft. A good bike left in the center of Amsterdam, even locked up, has a great chance of being stolen. There are pickpockets, especially in places where tourists gather, even more so where these tourists are often under the influence of alcohol / marijuana / mushrooms and other things. What can I say? Going on a trip – leave your wallet in the safe at the hotel.

The culture of the local population is of particular interest. Do they throw trash like we have on the street and don’t clean up after the dogs?

There is much less garbage on the streets. Ideal cleanliness, however, is not even in Switzerland, and even there the laws on garbage are downright draconian. They clean up after the dogs, well, at least if the dog is on a leash. The piles meet here and there. In general, regarding culture, I can say that it seems to me that the locals have a much wider outlook and they are much more benevolent than the average Russian. Not least from the fact that they work in a job that they like, and not one where they can earn more, and they really appreciate their life outside of work. Separately, I will talk about how they treat children here, even if this may not be entirely related to culture. Children are very fond of. Smiling at them, playing with them, often just walking by they can say “heyyy, high five!”, reach out and say something to you in Dutch.

Did you have a negative experience with medicine? I heard that there is a quiet horror.

We have a generally positive experience. You pay about 100 euros a month for insurance, you get coverage for almost everything except dentistry. There is a franchise, from 400 to 900 euros, depending on the amount of monthly contributions. This means that in the event that something happens, you pay this amount out of your own pocket, the rest is paid by the insurance. The franchise is valid not for one appeal, but for a year. That is, with an amount of own risk of 400 euros, if you paid 600 euros for two or three appeals, then you yourself will pay only 400 euros, the rest is insurance. All subsequent applications for this year – insurance. If something happens, you turn to the family doctor, therapist. This is such a barrier between the patient and medical specialists. You can get to them almost only by decision of the family doctor. Here it is not customary to sound the alarm because of the high temperature by Russian standards, even among children. 39-40? If you are not short of breath and nothing out of the ordinary is happening to you, you will be prescribed paracetamol. At the same time, there is always the opportunity to call an ambulance (it costs money, a franchise, that’s all). You insist that something is wrong with you – they will definitely listen to you and most likely send you for an examination. For children under 18, all medicine is free, almost everyone puts braces on their teeth for alignment in adolescence, so as not to pay for it later. Of course, there are flaws in this system. For example, enrolling a child in a speech therapist is a real quest, you have to wait in line, etc. In general, with regard to pediatric medicine, we have separate questions, but I prefer not to list them here. In general, I definitely evaluate medicine positively. The local hospitals are great. Everything is clean, everything always works, all the staff are friendly. I was in bed once for three days, my son was in bed with his mother for several days, so we saw it from the inside. When the little son had to go to the hospital, the nurse wrote “Welcome Alexander, beterschap!” on the white board with a marker, and made a drawing of a snowman!

I know you’re tired of reading all this boring stuff. Here’s another short sketch for you. When we were a couple of months away from our due date, we sat down with the midwife and began to make their plan. What kind of light does the expectant mother prefer, what kind of music (you can give your flash drive) and so on. Katya asked if I could be present at the birth. The doctors looked at each other and did not understand the question (well, that is, the fact that the father is present at the birth is not even discussed). They asked again: do you want relatives to be present at the birth? It is possible, but only limited to 12 people please…

What questions are asked in interviews?

Very different. And for some reason they really like test tasks for 4-5 hours. Very annoying. Some approach the evaluation of these tasks with the pedantry of Sheldon from “Big Bang Theory”, once I was rejected due to (attention!) the content of commit-messages in Git! However, this is, of course, a clinical case. Exactly like the other one, when after the 3rd (!) interview they announced to me “you are not suitable for us, because you do not speak Dutch.” They like to ask about a project you are proud of. About your mistake, which you remember, and how you corrected it. I was once asked if I know programmers better than myself. Funny question. Technically, they value knowledge of SOLID principles, unit testing skills (although not all companies use autotests), sometimes they ask algorithms. Interviewed at Uber, successfully solved a difficult problem online, in an environment like hackerrank, during a conversation with interviewers. Difficult, of course, for a task for 20 minutes under stress. I fell asleep on the question of the algorithmic complexity of my solution in Big-Oh notation. My education in physics has obvious gaps in programming theory, unfortunately. In general, the cooler and larger the company, the more difficult and varied the interview.

What about children at home?

Difficult question. I don’t have an answer yet. All children in the Netherlands must go to school. Official sources claim that no exceptions are made. Children with special needs are in special schools, but everyone gets an education. At the same time, knowing that the Dutch are very freedom-loving, I think that there are some opportunities in this regard. But the problem is that there is no one to even ask.

How much do you need to earn in order not to starve to death in Rotterdam?

This is a real question from one reader of the previous article. I will answer a more general question: how much do you need to earn for a comfortable life? Keep in mind that for everyone a decent level means something different. For me, this is comfortable accommodation, delicious food, quality clothes, going to a restaurant / cafe, beer with friends, a concert, a movie – once or twice a week. Vacation abroad. Pearls, Lamborghinis and business jets are not included. Based on this, it’s quite possible for the two of us to live together, receiving about 3500 net. 1500 for housing, 200 for medical insurance, 500 for food, 500 for entertainment, 100-200 for clothes, the rest is other expenses plus we save for vacation, retirement, for a rainy day. The figures are approximate, I did not bother with the calculations. Of course, this is not crazy money. But some time will pass, and your partner / partner will find an occupation for themselves, which will also begin to bring something. Of course, if you do not take IT into account, in most cases you will need to learn the language, but practice shows that this is quite realistic.

Now let me say a few words without protocol

I’ll add something else from myself. I like the Netherlands. So much so that I am ready to give up my Russian passport, and I am going to become a citizen of the Netherlands soon. I like that I live surrounded by wonderful neighbors who cultivate their gardens in front of the house, exchange notes with me about the weather, with some of them we really became friends. At first we rented a small apartment in the center of Amsterdam, but a little more than a year later we bought our own house, 20 minutes by train from the Central Station. Mortgage is 1.8% and it’s still a high percentage now, 4 years later, and I’m thinking about reconsidering. We pay less than 9 per month00 euros.

There is a Russian-speaking community in our village. Our neighbors are a Russian girl and her British boyfriend, another Russian family lives 30 meters away, there are other Russian speakers.

Now, as for the work: tasks, feeling the usefulness of my work, etc. To be honest, in this respect, my work in Moscow so far looks noticeably preferable. In NL, I worked in small and medium-sized companies, with different technology stacks of varying degrees of adequacy to modern realities. Once it was really bad and I left, otherwise as usual. Business wants features, techies provide speed, sometimes at the cost of quality. But not everything is so bad, it is usually possible to establish contact with business representatives, once I directly observed how their attitude to development and the rituals “imposed” on them, such as participation in refinements, writing test cases in Gherkin, or the obligatory provision of feedback, changed. When they saw how much more predictable the result and the quality of our work became, they appreciated it, and it was clear how they stopped being late for meetings with us, became more involved in the process, and so on and so forth.

Once again to the question of money. Every year you issue a tax return, this allows you to return at least a few hundred euros usually. If you have a mortgage, for the first year you will generally receive a solid deduction, and then you will receive a deduction for the amount of interest paid on the loan. A small deduction relies on “non-working partner”, approximately 1,000 euros per year or so. Minor children are entitled to a small allowance. Almost everywhere they pay for travel to the place of work, including on their own transport, at the rate of EUR 0.19/km, even if you get there by bike. Often the company offers a pension plan, usually the employer doubles the amount of money that you yourself are willing to pay for your future pension.

Holidays and days off. The standard holiday in the Netherlands is 25 working days, i.e. 5 weeks. No legal restrictions, just negotiate at work. There are fewer national holidays than in the Russian Federation. For example, the Russian 10 days of rest for the New Year is considered madness here. Weekends are not carried over if they fall on a weekend.

Car. In principle, it is not so necessary. In a big city like Amsterdam, you also have to pay attention to the cost of parking. Taxes and insurance are expensive. We have an ordinary hatchback, we pay 60 a month tax and 35 a month insurance (OSAGO). Sometimes we get out somewhere, even sometimes quite far. Plus, it’s still very convenient, especially when there is a child. So we know what we pay for.

That’s it. Greetings from ~~Holland~~ Netherlands,

Your Crocodile.

P. S. Answering questions in the comments:

Nothing is perfect. It was worth mentioning more shortcomings in the article. For example, girls from Russia/Ukraine often complain that finding a normal hairdresser or manicure specialist is a problem. For fans and lovers of shopping in nomadic outlets, there are fewer opportunities here than in the Russian Federation. I had to deal with incompetence. Including (and it was dumb) when applying for a mortgage, there were approx. EUR 20000 my money. My colleague told me that her husband was diagnosed with the disease at the last moment, a little more and it would have been too late. The history of housing, with all the cool conditions for a mortgage, is not at all simple, it is very strange for us, and opaque.

Once again: moving to another country is a huge stress. You lose the opportunity to take and go to many relatives in the evening, a language barrier appears (I have at least a second education – an interpreter-referent, I am quite fluent in English, but most of ours cannot boast of this, my girlfriend now speaks a funny mix of English and Dutch, which she learned noticeably better than me).
