More Employment in the Construction Sector Is Expected

Construction companies are again looking for permanent staff. Workers are no longer forced to work as freelancers, according to the Economic Institute for the Building Industry (EIB).

In 2017 and 2018, employment in construction might increase in as much as 34,000 years of employment (arbeidsjaren). In the three years after this the EIB expects to recover an additional 23 labour years.Therefore employment in construction will eventually be above the level before the crisis.

Because, of course, not all the work is done by permanent employees, it cannot be clear how many jobs it will be, but construction economists expect much more workers to work in paid employment, if they want.

The main cause for the boom is housing, which increased enormously in recent years and will continue to do so in the coming years. Yesterday, CBS announced that 54.000 houses were built in 2016, the highest number in years.

It is expected that non-residential buildings (offices, for example) and public works (roads, sewers etc.) in the coming years will cause a further increase in construction employment.

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

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".
