NLIST

NLIST is a recruitment agency that recruits international technical professionals for employers in the Netherlands. It focuses on engineering, maintenance and IT, and looks for candidates with vocational, Bachelor or Master level education and proven experience. It is part of The Specialist Group and has offices in Meppel and Haarlem.

The agency works exclusively with people from abroad, especially from South Africa, and helps them settle in the Netherlands as well as find work. The support it arranges includes flights and transport, the visa process, housing, a Dutch bank account, a BSN number, insurance, Dutch language classes, school or daycare, and social activities.

NLIST says it selects candidates using a best-fit principle, and that after a candidate is proposed the client has exclusivity for a specific period. It points to more than 60,000 unfilled technical positions in the Netherlands as the reason for recruiting abroad. It lists IND recognised referent status, SNA-Keurmerk (NEN-440-1) and VCU among its certifications.
