Foreign employers looking for staff in the Netherlands may sometimes get help from UWV in this process. This depends on the country that your business is located in and the kind of vacancy you want to post.
You are an employer located in the EU/EEA or Switzerland
Is your business located in the European Union (EU) / the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland? And are you looking for Dutch staff? In that case, please contact the EURES organisation in the country where your business is located to get help and advice. Your local EURES organisation will then contact EURES Netherlands. Next, our EURES adviser will look into the possibilities to help you find Dutch staff for your business.
You are an employer located outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland
In principle, UWV does not offer help in finding staff if your business is located outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland since:
- UWV does not have a network of employment services in your country
- UWV has insufficient knowledge of the rules on the labour market in your country
