When looking for a job in the Netherlands it is very common to use a specialist recruitment agency, especially if you are looking for a banking job or an accounting job. Much like in the UK they have the expertise that will help you find the best jobs as they have well established contacts.

Most Dutch companies use recruitment agencies to help find suitable staff for their positions. These recruitment companies can offer you permanent contracts directly with the companies, temporary placements or detachering which are fixed term contracts. Detachering is a type of contract that is often used for things like replacing staff with long term illness or jobs that only last the span of a project, say four months.

Some recruitment agencies work so that they will actually be your employer and will pay you your wage. This has the means you will receive flexibility and good employee benefits.

So if you are planning to relocate to the Netherlands for a new career, it is best to contact a specialist recruitment firm that will help your on your way.
