Between them they have 7,682 vacancies open in the Netherlands today, 40% in English. 35% state a salary, 1% promise relocation or visa support in the text, and where a salary is stated the median advertised figure is €44,100 a year. All figures are live.
key findings
- Permission is common, hiring is a smaller circle. Of the 1,555 sponsors we follow, 1,049 (67%) have a vacancy open right now; the register itself is a list of permissions, not of open roles.
- English is the minority. 3,103 of 7,682 postings (40%) are in English; 4,538 are in Dutch.
- Relocation is stated, not assumed. 84 postings (1%) mention relocation support or visa sponsorship in their own words.
- Salary transparency is low. 35% of postings state pay. Among English postings that do, 18% clear the 2026 highly skilled migrant threshold of €5,942 a month on the stated minimum.
- Starter roles exist. 1,487 postings are internships, graduate or entry-level (19%).
- Hybrid over remote. 2,470 postings describe hybrid work; only 426 are remote within the Netherlands.

method
Employers come from the IND public register. For each one we look for a careers page or applicant tracking system feed; 1,555 of 13,257 have one we can read reliably, and those are the employers covered here. Vacancies are collected from those feeds and limited to locations in the Netherlands. Language, salary, level, hours, work mode and relocation statements are extracted from the posting text by rules, 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 daily as employers post and close roles, so quote this page with its date.

vragen
How many companies in the Netherlands can sponsor a visa?
13,257 organisations are on the IND public register of recognised sponsors today, across the labour, research, study and exchange registers. JobThing reads the career sites of 1,555 of them, and 1,049 of those have a vacancy open in the Netherlands right now.
What share of Dutch job postings offer visa sponsorship?
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 sponsor job postings?
Where a salary is stated, the median advertised minimum is €44,100 a year. Only 35% of postings state one, so treat it as indicative.
