Stefan Silke’s Summary
My ethos: Great jobs. Unbeatable service.
Did you know that by changing jobs you have a better chance of getting a promotion or a pay increase? Perhaps you feel like a change of environment or a new challenge?
I search for the best IT people from around the world for jobs in Amsterdam and The Netherlands and discuss with them the vacancies, their new employer and life in Amsterdam so that they can make an informed decision. I’m originally from Australia, but I’ve lived in Amsterdam for almost 7 years so I understand the needs of internationals here.
I monitor and assist the interview process and keep everyone up-to-date throughout. Once a job offer has been accepted I also assist with relocation and organise work visas for the successful candidate and their family.
For you the candidate my service is 100% free, so there are no costs and no obligations.
To stimulate the economy the Dutch government have introduced a new visa which makes it fast and easy to start working in The Netherlands. Visas can also be organised for your partner and children – even if you aren’t married.
The strong economy and simplified visa process has created a great opportunity to move to Europe. To take the first step simply visit thewhitedoor.com
Stefan Silke’s Specialties:
I am motivated by the long term needs and satisfaction of both my clients and candidates. I encourage the job seekers that I work with to take the opportunity that best suits them, and I stay in touch even if we don't immediately find them their new job.
Before moving into recruitment I had studied and worked in IT for over 10 years, including 6 years in Australia and 5 years in the Netherlands.
