Netherlands

In the Netherlands more than 60% of vacancies are filled informally – through networks and contacts – so tell people you are looking and keep your LinkedIn profile up to date. Other channels:

• werk.nl – the job site of the public employment service UWV (in Dutch); registering with UWV is not compulsory,
• EURES – the EU job portal, plus EURES advisers who help with moving for work,
• Werken voor Nederland – jobs at ministries and other central government organisations,
• employment, recruitment and secondment agencies – they operate throughout the country,
• company websites, newspapers (most vacancies appear in the Saturday editions) and job fairs.
