Thinking about working in the Netherlands? Here are 5 things you should know before you start!
Moving to another country for work is exciting — but it’s important to know what to expect.
Here are 5 things we recommend checking before accepting a job:
1️⃣ Your employment contract – Know your salary, working hours and conditions.
2️⃣ Accommodation – Check where you will live, how much it costs and how far it is from work.
3️⃣ Transport – Find out how you will travel to work. 🚲🚆🚗
4️⃣ Working conditions – Dutch employees have specific rules regarding holidays, working hours and other employment conditions.
5️⃣ Your recruiter – A good recruitment agency should explain the job and conditions clearly and answer your questions before you move.
