Your CV layout says something before a recruiter even reads a word.

For a lot of expats, the instinct is to make it stand out visually - more colour, more design, more structure. But in the Dutch job market, that often works against you. Recruiters want to find information fast, not navigate a busy page. Simple, clean, and easy to read almost always wins here.

We cover what that actually looks like in our latest blog - link in bio 👆

One of our candidates just sent us an update!

A few weeks ago she started a new role through us and joined an international team - and this is what she told us:
"How much I've been learning in such a short time genuinely surprised me. I'm really enjoying the team environment and the opportunity to develop new skills. Little by little I feel more confident and comfortable - it keeps every day interesting."

Your story could be next.

Building a career in a new country takes time. And while you're waiting for the right opportunity, there's a lot you can do.

Online training is one of the easiest ways to stay active and close skill gaps - but the part most people skip is making it visible. Your CV, your LinkedIn, your interviews - that's where it actually pays off.

We put together a guide on where to start and what's actually worth your time. Link in bio 👆

Your CV gets looked at before it gets read.

And as an expat, that first impression matters even more. Recruiters in the Netherlands have a clear picture of what a strong profile looks like - if yours doesn't match that immediately, they move on.

Two things make the biggest difference at the top of your CV: your photo and your headline. Do you need a photo? What should your headline actually say? Full blog at the link in bio 👆

You updated your CV, started applying, and expected things to move. But they didn't.

Dutch recruiters scan CVs fast. They're not looking for your full story - they're looking for immediate clarity: what you do, what you're good at, whether you fit the role. And the basics matter too. Your location in the Netherlands, your work authorization, your availability - these are often checked before anything else.

Your CV isn't about translating your past. It's about positioning your future here. Full blog at the link in bio 👆

If you just moved to the Netherlands, this is the step you don't want to skip: registering at the Gemeente.

No registration means no BSN. No BSN means no job, no bank account, no health insurance.
It's not the exciting part of moving abroad. But it's the one that makes everything else possible.

We wrote a full guide on what to bring, how it works, and what to avoid. Link in bio 👆

One of the first things you notice working in the Netherlands as an expat is how common hybrid work is.

Some days you're cycling to the office. Other days you're at home, headphones on, focused. And in the beginning, figuring out that rhythm takes a little time. Office days tend to be more social. Home days, more heads-down. Both matter - just differently.

When you're new in the Netherlands, you start realising how much of daily life runs through a handful of apps you'd never even heard of before moving here.

After a while they just become routine - but that first month can feel like a lot.
