International recruitment Netherlands
Sector-specific hiring across aerospace, defence, technology, and international organisations. Sourcing from 40+ nationalities with deep network access.
Specialist international recruitment
Recruiting international professionals for the Dutch market requires more than a job board and a LinkedIn licence. Candidates in aerospace, defence, and deep technology sectors often hold security clearances, require visa sponsorship, and expect employers to understand the complexities of cross-border relocation. Octagon has spent over 39 years building networks within ESA, NATO, Europol, and the broader international community in The Hague.
Our recruitment process combines sector expertise with operational knowledge of Dutch immigration, tax incentives, and employment law. We source candidates from 40+ nationalities, conduct technical pre-screening aligned with your requirements, and manage the full hiring pipeline from initial outreach through offer negotiation to onboarding. Our in-house HR and immigration teams support every placement, delivering a coordinated transition for both employer and candidate.
