Most English-speaking jobs in the Netherlands never reach the big job portals in a useful form. They sit on employers' own careers pages, run on applicant-tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Recruitee, Personio and SmartRecruiters. As of October 1, 2026, this site collects 255 of those jobs from 107 companies, all in English and all located in the Netherlands.

Where are English-speaking jobs posted?

On the company's own careers page first. Tech scale-ups and international companies with Dutch offices post there, often in English, sometimes days before anywhere else. This site reads those careers pages every day and lists only new postings, so a listing here links straight to the employer's own application form.

How do you tell if a job really needs Dutch?

Read the requirements, not the title. "Dutch is a plus" or "Dutch is nice to have" means English is the working language. "Fluent Dutch", "vloeiend Nederlands", "Nederlandstalig" or a required Dutch level such as B2 means it is not an English-speaking job. Every listing on this site has been checked for exactly that, and postings that require Dutch are rejected.

Which searches work best?

When should you apply?

Early. Most listings here were posted within the last month, and the strongest roles fill quickly. Check daily, and set up a job alert for your field.
