DIEMEN – The demand for higher educated financial experts is stabilising. This is stated by Yacht, a subdivision of Randstad, in an analysis on the 2012 financial labour market.
Although there was a decrease of 9 per cent in the number of job openings compared to 2011, the last quarter showed small signs of growth. Yacht indicates the continuing crisis to be the main reason for this positive development. According to Yacht manager Erik Kolthof, the situation asks for businesses to alter their policies and in these proceedings financial managers are essential. As soon as these managers have done their duties, the new policies will have to be executed by new staff. This is another reason why Mr Kolthoff expects the positive trend to carry on this year.
Auditors
The demand for auditors in the last 3 months of last year was 21 per cent higher than in the third quarter. In that same period the demand for ‘weighty financial management posts’ rose by 7 per cent. ‘Young financial talents’ (workers with less than 10 years of experience) were also sought after. The largest dip in 2012 was in the demand for financial controllers. In that field, the number of job openings decreased by 19 per cent. The number of required accountants fell by 18 per cent, which is also quite steep. According to Yacht, the Limburg region saw the biggest decrease in vacancies. The demand for financial experts dropped by 36 per cent there.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
