Written by the company

Dutchhrbestie helps internationals understand how work actually works in the Netherlands. Dutch workplaces can be surprisingly difficult to navigate if you did not grow up with the system. Recruitment processes, salary offers, sick leave, performance conversations, workplace expectations and Dutch communication styles can all work differently from what you are used to. I created dutchhrbestie to make that less confusing. With a background in People & Culture, I provide practical, personalized guidance for internationals who are looking for work in the Netherlands or dealing with a difficult situation at work. Through Get In, I review your job-search strategy, CV, LinkedIn positioning and overall fit with the Dutch labour market. The goal is not simply to make your CV look better, but to understand why you may not be progressing through the recruitment process and what you can change. Through Navigate, I help you make sense of workplace situations such as performance concerns, sickness, reorganisations, difficult HR conversations or changes to your role. I review the context and relevant documentation and help you understand what stands out, what may matter, which questions to ask and what your realistic next steps could be. Dutchhrbestie is independent and fully online. The focus is on clear, practical guidance rather than generic advice, so you can make more informed decisions about your career and working life in the Netherlands. Dutchhrbestie does not provide legal, immigration or medical advice.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Professional, helpful and approachable

After discovering Kirsten on Instagram, I decided to take advantage of her expertise in navigating the Dutch job market. I specifically wanted her support in developing a CV that would help me present myself effectively to potential employers in the Netherlands. The conversation was very pleasant, and I quickly received clear guidance on what I should change in my CV. I’m very happy with the experience and would definitely book another session if needed. I can highly recommend Kirsten and her service to anyone looking to work in the Netherlands. Thank you very much, Kirsten.

True appreciation!

Kirsten is an exceptional HR professional who operates with absolute integrity and technical precision.

During my negotiation phase, her Handle package review was meticulously detailed, uncovering various contractual and mathematical nuances that I otherwise would have completely missed. She also gave me an honest reality check on my thoughts with structural and factual feedback. Her advice went far beyond generic pointers. She provided a highly thorough, tailored analysis that directly guided me toward making the most suitable decisions for my situation.

Her negotiation strategies are excellent and highly effective, yet what sets her apart is her balanced perspective. She carefully considers what is fair to both the company and the employee, ensuring the strategy preserves professional relationships while anchoring value. That is pretty hard to do in real life if you are navigating it alone.

Throughout the process, her communication was prompt and efficient. Working with her has given me factual clarity regarding what works best for me, and the confidence to handle my negotiation safely. Kirsten is a true professional, and I want her knowledge and service to reach other professionals in need.

Kirsten rocks!!!!!

I loved working with Kirsten. She brought a human, yet highly technical, approach to my delicate situation. I’d recommend her services to anyone who feels a little lost navigating the Dutch job market and workplace culture.

Thank you so much, Juan! I'm really happy to hear that you found the insights helpful. I know how frustrating the Dutch job market can be, especially when you're putting in the effort but not getting the results you hoped for. I really hope the Get In report gives you some fresh direction and confidence moving forward. And I love that you're sticking around for more HR tips! :)
