As recruitment is a people business, The Expat Company believes that the human touch is the most effective way to ensure satisfaction for both employers and employees. It is this approach that ensures our long-term client and candidate relationships.

Candidates' wishes and job criteria are important and as such The Expat Company asks candidates to submit a full CV and covering letter.

All applications will be studied by one of our consultants. Should The Expat Company feel that an application is a potential match for one of our functions, the candidate will be invited for an intake interview at our offices.

In the event that additional information is required from a candidate, The Expat Company may follow up with candidates by e-mail or telephone.

If a suitable function is not available when an application is received, The Expat Company will keep candidates' details on file for future opportunities.

Candidates can send an open application or alternatively search our vacancy database (per function group or region) and apply directly for one or more of our current positions.

In addition The Expat Company has formulated a CV-Service package to help candidates make the most of their application. We can also provide English to Dutch & Dutch to English CV translation services.
