What We Need From You To Start the Recruitment and Hiring Process
To kick off our recruitment and hiring process efficiently, we ask for three essential inputs that help us move quickly and accurately:
- A clear job description: Including role purpose, must-have skills, preferred experience, location and contract type. We store your original JD in our ATS and rewrite it for publication so it is clear, consistent and SEO-optimized for maximum candidate reach.
- Your preferred placement model: Whether the role is a direct hire, temporary placement (“uitzenden”) or a hybrid/payrolling solution. If needed, we advise on the model that suits your needs best.
- A single point of contact and decision timeline: This helps us coordinate interviews, manage communication and keep the recruitment process moving without delays.
These elements ensure we can start sourcing quickly and maintain a smooth, predictable hiring process.
How the Recruitment Process at Undutchables Works
We use a clear, end-to-end workflow with defined steps, predictable timelines and strong quality controls. These six stages form the backbone of our recruitment process.
The 6 Steps of Our End-To-End Recruitment Process
1. Create and Publish the Vacancy
Once we receive your information, we create the vacancy in our applicant tracking system (ATS), anonymize and rewrite the job description, schedule the publication date and promote the role across our channels, including our website and LinkedIn. This ensures your vacancy is clear, polished and fully visible to potential candidates.
2. Screening: Search and Applications
We run a dual-track approach: proactive search combined with screening of incoming applications. Candidates are evaluated on work experience, language ability, eligibility to work in the Netherlands and other hard criteria. This results in a focused shortlist and scheduled intakes with suitable candidates.
3. Candidate Intake and Profile Creation
We conduct a thorough intake interview and create a complete candidate profile. Internal sharing ensures full team alignment, and AI support help keep notes clear and consistent. After this step, candidates are fully prepared and ready to be introduced to your organization.
4. Introduction to the Client
We present candidates with a tailored introduction that includes their URA CV, profile summary and our reasoning for the match. Introductions are logged in our ATS, and we coordinate the next steps with both you and the candidate to keep the process moving. This leads directly to interviews being scheduled and the candidate fully engaged.
5. Feedback, Interview Coordination and Momentum Management
We ask clients to provide feedback within around three working days to maintain momentum. Negative feedback is handled professionally with clear communication to the candidate, while positive feedback triggers interview logistics and preparation. This creates a smooth, structured feedback loop and efficient interview coordination.
6. Offer and Placement Administration
Once an offer is agreed, we document all details such as salary, hours, start date and benefits, and can negotiate on your behalf if needed. Our operations team completes all compliance steps, including ID and work-permit checks, BRI and ARBO documentation and payroll arrangements for temporary placements. At this stage, all paperwork is finalized, the contract is ready and post-start check-ins are scheduled.
Depending on how you prefer to employ your candidate, we support several placement models suited to different hiring needs.
Recruitment Placement Models and Advisory
We support multiple hiring models and advise you on the best approach based on your vacancy and goals:
- Temporary employment (uitzenden): Undutchables is the legal employer and handles payroll, contracts and compliance.
- Direct recruitment (W&S): we source and present candidates; the employment contract is between you and the candidate.
- Hybrid/payrolling solutions: we partner with payrolling providers where needed and help you understand costs and responsibilities for each option.
Recruitment Tools, Compliance and Quality Controls
We rely on Mysolution Salesforce, Carv, Textkernel and internal templates to deliver a consistent, data-driven recruitment workflow. Intelligent tools help refine intake notes and vacancy texts.
We operate fully within GDPR guidelines, processing sensitive documents only when necessary and according to retention rules. We only request or process sensitive documents when they are needed for compliance, and we apply strict retention rules to protect candidate and employer data. Our process aligns with ABU/NBBU standards, helping ensure that your recruitment process remains audit-proof.
Timelines and Post-Placement Follow-Up
Speed matters. Incoming applications are handled within roughly three working days, and we aim for client feedback within the same timeframe after candidate introductions. After a successful placement, we follow up after the first week, after one month and after two to three months to ensure everything is progressing well.
What You Receive During Our Recruitment Process
Throughout our recruitment and hiring process, you can expect:
- A published, optimized and actively promoted vacancy
- Shortlisted, pre-screened and well-documented candidate profiles
- Clear communication and structured interview coordination
- Audit-proof placement documentation and compliance handling
Our goal is to make your recruitment process streamlined, transparent and reliable from start to finish.
