What to check for the Netherlands

Check whether the vacancy is in Dutch or English, how relocation is handled and which practical skills matter for the role.

Language and qualifications

Use the language requested by the vacancy and describe qualifications accurately. If you provide a translation, keep the original qualification name available for verification.

Export and readability

Use selectable text, ordinary headings and a logical reading order. Check the final PDF with Appliora's ATS checker as a diagnostic, not as a hiring guarantee.
