The number of jobs which are for on-call workers have increased by one third to 537 thousand between 2010 and 2014.

This was reported by the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (Central Bureau for Statistics, CBS) this Thursday. Employees who work on-call jobs have no fixed working hours, and have to agree with the employer as to how often they work.

The number of jobs through employment agencies increased during this period, but the increase was 6 percent lower. The total number of jobs declined in the same period by 2 percent. This is due mainly to the fact that a large majority of the jobs are more on call, within the sectors of trade, catering and care.

More than a third of the 537 thousand on-call jobs are jobs in retail, such shelf stacking or shop assistant. One in six jobs as call worker had a job in the health care and an almost equal number of jobs in the hospitality industry. In the hospitality industry almost a quarter of employees were in an on-call situation, and agriculture holds almost one in five, according to CBS,.

The percentage of employees in on-call jobs in the overall economy increased from 2010 to 2014 from 5.1 to 7 percent.

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.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

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".
