Nope. They are required, by law, to advertise all jobs first to Dutch nationals, then to other EU nationals, and only then may they advertise jobs to non-EU nationals (and only if they can provide proof that there are no Dutch or EU nationals that have the necessary skills and are interested). This means that if you are to get hired by a Dutch company, they have to go through a minimum five week waiting period as they go through this process, even if they have no intention of hiring anyone but you (been there, done that). And you have no idea what a company has to go through for work permit paperwork. Certainly, my former employer (Snow BV, a Dutch consulting company) had no idea. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
