Organisations on the IND register of recognised sponsors have 16,556 vacancies open in the Netherlands on JobThing today, 27% in English without asking for Dutch. 37% state a salary, 1% mention relocation or visa support in the text, and where a salary is stated the median advertised figure is €45,600 a year.
Key findings
- Permission is common, hiring is a smaller circle. 1,573 of the 13,364 organisations on the register (12%) have a vacancy open on JobThing right now; the register itself is a list of permissions, not of open roles.
- English is the minority. 4,517 of 16,556 postings (27%) are in English and do not ask for Dutch; 11,028 are written in Dutch.
- Relocation is stated, not assumed. 217 postings (1%) mention relocation support or visa sponsorship in their own words.
- Salary transparency is low. 37% of postings state pay. Among English postings that do, 27% clear the 2026 highly skilled migrant threshold of €5,942 a month on the stated minimum.
- Starter roles exist. 2,837 postings are internships, graduate or entry-level (17%).
- Hybrid over remote. 5,447 postings describe hybrid work; only 194 are remote within the Netherlands.

Method
Employers come from the IND public register, and the figures cover their vacancies in the Netherlands. Language, salary, level, hours, work mode and relocation statements come from the posting text, and each job page shows the sentence behind its relocation badge. Salaries are annualised (monthly figures times 12) and the median is taken over stated minimums; hourly rates are excluded. Medians are hidden where fewer than ten postings state a salary. Counts change as employers post and close roles, so quote this page with its date.

Questions
How many companies in the Netherlands can sponsor a visa?
13,364 organisations are on the IND public register of recognised sponsors today, across the labour, research, study and exchange registers. 1,573 of them have a vacancy open in the Netherlands on JobThing right now.
What share of postings at employers that can sponsor mention visa support?
Among open postings from recognised sponsors, 1% state relocation support or visa sponsorship in the text. Every employer on the list is able to sponsor; the share that says so in the advert is much smaller.
What is the typical salary in postings at employers that can sponsor?
Where a salary is stated, the median advertised minimum is €45,600 a year. Only 37% of postings state one, so treat it as indicative.
