About the employer

PhilipsPosted on the employer’s careers page · philips.wd3.myworkdayjobs.comRecognised sponsor (NL) — employer-level; what this means

Working in Netherlands

Possible country route: Highly Skilled Migrant / EU Blue Card. The highly skilled migrant route normally requires an IND recognised employer and the applicable salary requirement. A residence card in another EU state does not automatically grant Dutch work permission.

IND decision period: up to 90 days, with shorter procedures in some cases. Employer preparation and legalisation take additional time.

What to check before applying
  1. Verify the sponsor. Check the IND recognised-sponsor register and confirm who submits the application.
  2. Confirm the salary category. Ask the employer which current income requirement applies.
  3. Prepare entry and residence documents. The need for an MVV depends on nationality and circumstances; check IND.

  • Experience in a fast-paced, multinational and matrixed environment.
  • Excellent organizational and planning skills with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Strong ability to prioritize, multitask and perform under pressure.
  • Proactive, resourceful and solution-oriented mindset.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in Dutch and English (minimum C1 level).
