Your journey starts with a simple application. Submit your profile, CV, professional experience, preferred type of work, and salary expectations. You only need to provide your information once. Our recruitment team will review your background and determine which available positions are most suitable for your experience and ambitions.

We recruit for a wide range of technical roles, including engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, maintenance, industrial automation, process technology, construction, and technical project support.

After reviewing your application, we may invite you for an introductory conversation to learn more about:

  • Your professional experience and technical skills
  • The type of position you are looking for
  • Your salary expectations
  • Your English-language ability
  • Your availability and preferred starting date
  • Your motivation to work and live in the Netherlands

Our goal is not simply to send your CV to as many companies as possible. We focus on finding opportunities that genuinely match your skills, expectations, and long-term plans.

Get Matched

When we identify a suitable opportunity, we will discuss the position with you before introducing you to the employer. You will receive clear information about the company, the role, the responsibilities, the location, the working conditions, and the expected salary range. Your profile will only be shared after you have expressed interest in the opportunity.

If both sides are interested, we coordinate the interview process. Depending on the company, this may include:

  • An online introductory interview
  • A technical interview or assessment
  • A conversation with the hiring manager
  • A final discussion about salary and employment conditions

We help you prepare for each interview and remain available throughout the process. When the employer wants to hire you, you will receive an employment offer containing the agreed conditions. You will always have the opportunity to review the offer and ask questions before making a decision.

Relocate & Start

Once you have accepted a job offer, we help you prepare for your move to the Netherlands. For candidates from EU countries such as Greece, Hungary, and Romania, a Dutch work permit is generally not required. However, moving to another country still involves several practical arrangements.

Depending on the position and the employer, our support may include guidance with:

  • Preparing for your move to the Netherlands
  • Understanding the employment contract
  • Registering with the Dutch municipality
  • Applying for a BSN (citizen service number)
  • Opening a Dutch bank account
  • Arranging health insurance
  • Finding suitable accommodation
  • Understanding Dutch working culture

The exact level of relocation support can differ depending on the employer and the vacancy. Our involvement does not end when you arrive — we stay in contact during the onboarding period to help make sure your transition goes as smoothly as possible.
