What happens after you apply for a job with a Dutch contract through DB Work? What to expect, step by step

At DB Work, everything is designed to be simple and transparent, so you know from the very beginning where you are going, what you are signing, what your job will involve, and what working conditions you can expect.

The process starts easily and is accessible to everyone. You can apply for a job with a Dutch contract through DB Work in several ways:

  • by leaving your details on the DB Work Facebook page and mentioning your field of experience.

After you apply, a recruiter reviews your professional experience and contacts you if there is a suitable project for you.

 

The interview – a clear conversation, not an exam

The interview is a natural step when applying for a job with a Dutch contract, but at DB Work it is not complicated or stressful.

The purpose of the interview is to confirm:

In some cases, there may also be a short discussion with the Dutch employer for final confirmation.

If you are selected for a job with a Dutch contract:

  • you receive all the details about the offer;
