While we all are hoping that the worst of the pandemic has passed, at the same time experts believe that the repercussions are yet to come.

Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, however since the coronavirus outbreak, and lockdown situation across the world, the global recession has been crushing the tulip city’s economy. Although the lockdown has started to ease in the city, the Dutch economy shrinked by 1.7% in the first quarter of 2020, when the coronavirus outbreak began to bite.
Unemployment fell by 39,000 to 2,77,000 in Q1. This means that 3 percent of the labour force were unemployed.

Do follow our special coverage on coronavirus over here.

Further, as per a report by talent.io, the volume of tech job positions being advertised on job boards for the Amsterdam market has been hit hardest than other main European cities, with a 70% decrease in new creations of tech positions.

Looking forward to working at a tech startup? Check out from hundreds of jobs available right now by clicking here.

Concerned about the situation, we spoke to Rebecca Clarke, Talent Manager of Amsterdam-based startup – Recruitee – on how startups and scaleups can continue effective hiring with a tight budget? On this she opines, “Understandably, right now many companies are being more conscious about spending at this time, but there are still multiple ways of continuing to hire even on a tight or non-existent budget. From personal experience, I have found that during these times, people are more willing to help each other out. So now is a great time to ask for referrals internally and also externally. For example, asking your network for recommendations/referrals on LinkedIn, Facebook groups, slack communities, etc., can prove very effective.”

As our last article on hiring in Amsterdam during the pandemic helped lots of our readers, we have now come out with the second version where we are going to tell you what’s happening in the Amsterdam tech job market during the pandemic right now? And which all new tech startups are hiring?

But before digging into some recent hirings taking place in the tech startup scene of Amsterdam, we also asked Clarke to share some tips for those seeking job openings. On this she says, “Be active online and maintain your LinkedIn profile, ensuring that it’s up to date and that you are visible to recruiters. It is always worth going through your profile, making sure it is relevant for the role that you’re looking for and clear for recruiters to see your skills.

“Research employers that are actively hiring and develop your own target list from these companies that appeal to you. For example, you can follow them on social media so you are the first to know about new roles available.”

“Now is the perfect time to upskill, demonstrating that you are keen to keep learning and improving. There are plenty of online courses that can be completed for free, just don’t forget to add them to your CV and LinkedIn profile.”

Clarke gives us some more insights, when we asked her, what are the top mistakes to avoid while hiring during the pandemic? She says, “It’s important to remember that even though there is a pandemic, companies that continue hiring could be making the same mistakes as before COVID-19, like rushing a hire. If you are hiring right now, be sure that you are making the right candidate choice, that they are joining the company for the right reasons, and give them the best candidate experience.”

“In this rather unusual time, it’s also important, more than ever, to be mindful of the candidate’s situation as this may be a tough time for the people that you are speaking with. Make sure to treat them with the utmost respect and care. Be mindful of your rejections, give advice if they are not a fit, and be honest with your timescales.”

Hope this article will help you. And if you’re a startup hiring during the pandemic in Amsterdam, let us know, we will put your message across.
