Applicants to job positions in the Netherlands face strict Qbis requirements. In most cases applicants should know English or German. Applicants, who speak the said languages, have enough motivation and relevant work experience will be given priority in the selection process.

Dutch employment agencies set stricter language and experience requirements for skilled workers than for unskilled positions but the first are also provided with better and often free accommodation and compensation for transport expenses. Agricultural workers are not required to have any qualifications or have good knowledge of English but will have to share a room with other people, pay rent and in most cases go to work by bicycles.

Language requirements

If you are interested in finding a job in the Netherlands through Qbis you should have at least basic conversational skills in English or German.

To work in agriculture the language requirements are not so strict as we have a possibility to form worker groups where only a few have sufficient knowledge of the said languages. However the priority will be given to applicants with knowledge of English or German.

All other positions strictly require applicants to speak English or German.

Knowledge of Dutch is optional but some of our partners may provide a possibility for long term workers to study the language.

Most Dutch people speak good English and German and our partners in the Netherlands are no exception. Some employment agencies have Lithuanian managers working for them.

Work experience requirements

Usually applicants to positions in factories, warehouses or agriculture are not required to have similar work experience. All skilled jobs on the other hand require at least a few years of relevant experience. When offering candidates for skilled jobs we send their CV in English to the Dutch agencies. So if you are looking for a job in a particular field, please attach a thorough CV in English or German to your application when registering on our webpage.

Face to face interview or interview over Skype

If your language skills and work experience meet the requirements set by Qbis we will contact you for an interview at our office in Vilnius. During the interview we will discuss your experience and possibilities to work in the Netherlands, find out your expectations, tell you about our job offers and provide extensive information about working and living conditions in the Netherlands. We will also test your language skills and check your identity so please remember to bring a valid identity document. If you cannot make it to Vilnius we can arrange an interview over Skype but you must have a video camera.

The Dutch employer is almost never present in the selection process in Lithuania. The interview with Qbis consultants is enough to select candidates for a particular vacancy and forward their applications to our partners. However it is the Dutch employment agency that makes the final decision on the application.

Necessary documents

Upon your arrival to the Netherlands you must have a valid passport or ID card. In many cases our partners ask for the following candidate information in advance: bank account details, photo, CV in English or German. All the details are discussed during the interview and a list of necessary things to take is provided before departure.
