You are in a unique position! With about 4 million inhabitants within a one hour travel distance and a large community of international talent, Maastricht Region is a region like no other. We offer an enormous diversity of cultures, knowledge and skills. We could call it a privilege that you, as an employer, can set up your recruitment here. How to start?
DUTCH speaking talent
Even though we are an international region, sometimes the position can only be filled by someone who is native Dutch. In that case, people also speak Dutch in Flanders (Belgium border region). You have multiple regional and cross-border options to publish your vacancies.

GERMAN speaking talent
Because we are so close to the German border, daily, approximately 8.000 talents cross this border just to go to work in the Netherlands or in Germany. Over 4000 German inhabitants work for Dutch employers in our region. In that case, if your position can only be filled by someone who is native German, you have some cross-border options to publish your vacancies.

This is why the Maastricht Region partnered up with the Talent Coalition! We want our network of employers to profit from this partnership which lead to our own Jobportal Welcome to Maastricht Region!
Together with our network of employers we continue to build up the number of career opportunities here. This jobportal, in cooperation with our Talent Coalition partners, the Netherlands Point of Entry (NPE) and The Dutch Enterprise Agency reaches higher educated talents from all over the globe.

Our partner EURES supports employers in hiring talent from other countries of the European Economic Area (EEA). EURES can provide employers with the opportunity to find motivated and skilled workers, especially in the case of national work force shortages in specific economic sectors.
Finding talent from another European country can be a difficult task if you have not done it before. How do you get started? What should you consider? Who can offer you help and support?
