Working with Re-employ on your next career step
Re-employ provides re-integration, outplacement, employability coaching, career guidance and training for individuals and organisations in the Netherlands. It is a useful stop if you are between roles and want structured support, not only a list of vacancies. Expect coaching and training to be part of the journey.
Who pays Re-employ
Paid by the employer, not by you.
Re-employ earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.
What that means for you
Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

Their side
What does Re-employ offer?
Re-employ describes its work as re-integration, outplacement, employability coaching, career guidance and training. These services support people moving out of one employer and back into work, and organisations can also buy them for their staff. The listed sectors are consulting, business services, healthcare and education, so the support is likely to reflect those working environments.
Where you meet
How does an outplacement or coaching journey usually run?
A typical journey starts with an intake conversation about your skills, goals and the job market you want to enter. Coaching sessions then focus on CV work, interview practice and a plan for the search, with training added where it helps. Employers in the Netherlands often respond well to a clear account of your career transition, so the programme usually works on that story from the start.
What should I expect on commitment and communication?
Expect a defined set of sessions with clear goals, and ask at the start how many there are and how they are scheduled. Check whether training or assessments carry extra costs or are funded by your employer or a public scheme. Agree how the coach will follow up between sessions, so momentum does not fade.
Your side
How can I make the most of a career guidance programme?
Arrive with a rough idea of what you want, even if it is still changing, and be honest about what you have already tried. Complete any preparatory exercises before the session so that time goes on decisions rather than admin. Keep a record of the actions you agree, because progress often depends on steady small steps between meetings.
Is Re-employ the right fit for my situation?
This kind of support suits people who want structured help with a career change, a redundancy or a return to work. If you already know the exact role and employer you are targeting, a recruiter or a direct application may be quicker. Ask which outcomes the coach can realistically support and which depend on your own search.
How to work with Re-employ: candidate playbook
- Bring a short list of goals and past attempts to the first session.
- Complete preparatory exercises before each meeting.
- Confirm who pays for sessions and training before you begin.
- Write down agreed actions and review them at the next session.
- Share honest feedback so the coach can adjust the approach.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays for outplacement and coaching?
Costs depend on the arrangement. Your employer may pay as part of a redundancy or exit package, a public scheme may cover part of it, or you may pay privately. Ask for the cost and funding source in writing before you start.
Can I use more than one coaching or career service at the same time?
You can, but it helps to tell each provider what else you are using. Overlapping advice can lead to conflicting CV versions and mixed messages in your search.
What happens to the personal information I share with a coach?
A coach should explain what notes they keep, who can see them and how long they are stored under Dutch and European privacy rules. Ask for a copy of the privacy notice before you share sensitive details.
Does this replace applying for jobs myself?
No, coaching supports your search rather than doing it for you. Keep applying and networking, and use the sessions to refine your approach and review what is working.
