Nope. They are required, by law, to advertise all jobs first to
Dutch nationals, then to other EU nationals, and only then may they
advertise jobs to non-EU nationals (and only if they can provide
proof that there are no Dutch or EU nationals that have the necessary
skills and are interested).
This means that if you are to get hired by a Dutch company, they
have to go through a minimum five week waiting period as they go
through this process, even if they have no intention of hiring anyone
but you (been there, done that).
And you have no idea what a company has to go through for work
permit paperwork. Certainly, my former employer (Snow BV, a Dutch
consulting company) had no idea.
