Within the coming half-year, companies will be looking for finance staff to fill new and vacant positions en masse. Most employers, however, will find difficulty in their search for suitable candidates. This is according to research commissioned by Robert Half, among 200 Dutch CFOs and finance directors.

Accounting and finance candidates
More than nine in ten (92 percent) CFOs and finance directors indicate that next six months of recruitment will be focused on finding new accounting and finance candidates. This is done to fill vacant positions (48 percent) and new functions (44 percent). These new functions are caused by the creating and launching of new projects, the growth of business, and entering new markets or expanding service offerings.

Good staff
Nine in ten (91 percent) of CFOs and financial directors have difficulty finding the right staff with the right skills. According to CFOs and finance directors, this is due to a particular lack of certain skills, such as technical (31 percent), and commercial and business skills (25 percent). According to more than a quarter of respondents (28 percent), the demand for qualified professionals is greater than the current supply.

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".
