When an employee in the Netherlands cannot return to their own role after long-term sickness, ordinary outplacement is rarely enough. CareerSolution provides fully English-language second-track outplacement and reintegration services for international employers, combining practical job search help with a process aligned to Dutch reintegration duties.
That gives you two things at once. Your employee receives structured support towards suitable work outside your organisation, while you receive professional progress reporting and documentation aligned with the Improved Gatekeeper Act, known in Dutch as Wet verbetering poortwachter, and UWV requirements.
CareerSolution second-track outplacement services for employers in the Netherlands
CareerSolution structures second-track reintegration as a clear route to sustainable employment outside the current employer.
Our programmes run for 6, 9 or 12 months and can include profile building, a job search profile, labour market orientation, tests, online job searching, personal coaching and active support in finding a suitable employer and role.
“CareerSolution offers second-track programmes of 6, 9 or 12 months aimed at sustainable employment outside your organisation.”
This matters when you need more than general career advice. We translate remaining work capacity, skills and medical restrictions into a realistic search for alternative work, so your employee is not left with a vague plan or a generic CV update.
A CareerSolution second-track outplacement programme can include:
- Personal profile and job search profile development
- Labour market orientation and testing matched to the employee’s situation
- CV, LinkedIn and interview support in English
- Online job search assistance and coaching throughout the process
- Active job placement support focused on sustainable employment
Because CareerSolution combines coaching with active search support, the programme stays focused on viable next steps in the labour market, not just discussion.
English-language job search help for international employees who need a new employer
Many international employees struggle with Dutch-language providers at exactly the point when clarity matters most. CareerSolution works with English-speaking coaches, so the employee can discuss restrictions, career history, motivation and job options in one language from start to finish.
“CareerSolution specialises in fully English-language second-track reintegration for international employees in the Netherlands.”
That improves participation and decision-making. When the employee fully understands the process, coaching conversations become more productive, CV and LinkedIn work becomes sharper, and interview preparation can be tied to suitable vacancies rather than abstract career ideas.
CareerSolution also supports the practical side of the search, including labour market orientation, online job searching, application support and active job placement assistance. The aim is sustainable employment outside the current organisation, not a rushed placement that breaks down because the role does not match the employee’s capacity or circumstances.
Gatekeeper Act and UWV-aligned second-track reporting for international organisations
In the Netherlands, employer and employee are jointly responsible for reintegration during the first 2 sickness years. If returning to the original role is no longer feasible, CareerSolution provides a second-track pathway with progress reporting and documentation that supports your file under the Gatekeeper Act and UWV requirements.
“During the first 2 sickness years, reintegration duties still apply. CareerSolution supports second-track action with progress reporting aligned to UWV requirements.”
This addresses a major buying concern for HR and employers: whether an outplacement provider understands the legal weight of a second-track case. CareerSolution does not treat this as generic career coaching. We build the programme around documented activity, consistent follow-up and a clear record that suitable work outside the current organisation has been explored.
That structure matters because insufficient reintegration effort can have consequences. UWV can impose a further year of wage continuation if employer and employee efforts are judged inadequate, so second-track support needs to be both practical for the employee and defensible for the organisation.
When CareerSolution is the right second-track outplacement partner
CareerSolution is a strong fit when you need a specialist English-language reintegration company rather than a broad outplacement agency. We are particularly relevant for international organisations in the Netherlands that want to support employees properly while managing the formal demands of a long-term sickness case.
You are likely to benefit from CareerSolution if:
- An international employee cannot return to their own position because of illness or disability
- First-track options within your organisation are no longer enough and work with another employer must be explored
- The employee needs CV, LinkedIn, interview and job search support in English
- HR needs structured progress reporting and a defined programme over 6, 9 or 12 months
CareerSolution also offers a no-obligation introductory meeting, which makes it easier to assess the case, discuss the employee’s situation and decide which programme length fits best.
