Why the Netherlands?
The Netherlands is one of Europe's most English-friendly workplaces; many companies in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Eindhoven use English as their internal language, so you can relocate before learning Dutch.
Strongest sectors: tech and e-commerce in Amsterdam, ports and logistics in Rotterdam, semiconductors and engineering around Eindhoven, and international organisations in The Hague.
Highly skilled migrant scheme and tax benefits
Companies recognised by the IND can hire non-EU professionals quickly if the salary meets the threshold for your age group. Joby highlights employers that mention visa sponsorship.
Some newcomers may qualify for the so-called 30% ruling for a limited period under conditions — an important factor when comparing offers.
Applying in the Netherlands
Dutch CVs are practical and direct: two pages at most, measurable achievements, and a short motivation letter explaining why this specific company.
Housing is a major challenge in big cities, so consider nearby cities like Utrecht, Haarlem or Eindhoven when choosing preferred locations in Joby.
How Joby helps, step by step
First, upload your CV as PDF or DOCX. Joby analyses your experience, skills and languages and picks suitable roles automatically — no long questionnaires.
Second, Joby searches real European job sources and shows each role with a match score, a clear reason why it fits and what your CV is missing. No fake listings, no expired jobs.
Third, you review before anything is sent: an English cover letter written from your real experience with an Arabic translation, and form answers ready. After your approval Joby opens the company's official form and fills it in.
Transparent tracking for every application
Every application appears in your dashboard with its real status: ready, applied, viewed, interview or rejected. An application only counts as sent — and credit is only used — after the company confirms it, with a screenshot as proof.
You always know where you applied, when and on which platform, so you can focus on preparing for interviews instead of filling the same forms again.
Tips to succeed
Write your CV in clear European format: one or two pages, achievements with numbers and precise language levels (A1 to C2). Add a short case study with your real numbers for your most important role.
Apply to a sensible number of well-matched roles each day rather than hundreds of random ones — high match scores bring more replies. Joby spreads your applications across days automatically based on your plan.
- Real jobs only
- Match score for every role
- Official forms filled
- Credit used only after confirmation
