Yes, as a matter of fact most of our jobs do not require any Dutch language skills. Our clients are international companies and most of them have English as their office language. Strong English skills are a prerequisite (minimum of Level B2 English is required for most of our roles), In many cases specific language skills, technical skills or other skills are required for the vacancies that we have. The requirements are specified in the job descriptions.
We do encourage you to learn Dutch, as it will help you in your integration and will make it easier to connect with Dutch colleagues and other Dutch citizens.
There are a few differences when applying directly to a company and when you apply via an agency. When you apply directly to a company you know straight away what company you are applying for. In general when applying via an agency you only know the name of the hiring company after your application has been sent to the company.
In The Netherlands, many companies use recruitment agencies to find the right person for their vacancies. The hiring company might not have the time nor the network to reach out to the job seekers with the specific skills for a certain position.
Applying via an agency can definitely be an advantage for you as a job seeker. Especially since the recruitment consultants at Abroad Experience give support and advice during the whole application process. This starts already by providing valuable tips in regard to your CV so that the relevant skills and experiences you have are highlighted. Once you have been invited for an interview with our client, we also schedule a preparation meeting where we help you to prepare for the upcoming interview.
Yes, for the applicant, all our services are for free.
We do have some tips and blogs on our website in regard to house search. However, we do not actively assist you in your search for accommodation, nor do we have jobs that offer accommodation. The lack of affordable housing in the Netherlands is a problem and something you have to consider when you start your job search in the Netherlands.
