When an international employee in the Netherlands cannot return to their own role after long-term illness or disability, you need more than generic career advice. CareerSolution provides fully English-language second-track career counselling with CV writing help, LinkedIn support, interview preparation, job-search assistance, and active support towards suitable alternative employment.<\/p>\n\n
For HR teams, employers and case managers, CareerSolution turns a legally sensitive reintegration obligation into a practical, documented programme. We help your employee identify work that matches their remaining capacity, skills and medical restrictions, while we provide progress reporting and documentation that supports compliance with the Dutch Improved Gatekeeper Act and UWV requirements.<\/p>\n\n
Second-track reintegration is the route to work with another employer when first-track reintegration within your own organisation is no longer realistic. For international organisations, that process often becomes harder when the employee, manager and external providers are not working in the same language.<\/p>\n\n
CareerSolution specialises in English-language second-track reintegration for international professionals and expats. That means your employee can discuss restrictions, preferences, experience, and realistic job options clearly in English, and your organisation gets a structured process designed around Dutch second-track requirements rather than a standard outplacement service.<\/p>\n\n
Second-track career counselling also needs to fit the legal context. UWV assesses whether reintegration efforts during the first 104 weeks of sickness were sufficient, and if the process was started too late or handled incorrectly, the employer can face a wage-sanction extension of up to 52 weeks.<\/p>\n\n
\n“CareerSolution delivers fully English-language second-track reintegration support within the Dutch 104-week sickness framework.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
CareerSolution helps you move from uncertainty to action. We translate the second-track obligation into concrete steps: labour market orientation, profiling, CV development, job-search strategy, vacancy matching, coaching, and reporting that shows what has been done and why.<\/p>\n\n
CareerSolution combines CV writing help with second-track job-search support<\/h2>\n\n
A second-track programme should not stop at conversations about career direction. Your employee needs usable application materials, a realistic target profile, and active support in finding suitable roles outside your organisation.<\/p>\n\n
CareerSolution includes the practical career counselling tools that matter in a second-track process:<\/p>\n\n
\n
- Personal profile:<\/strong> we map the employee\u2019s background, strengths, preferences, work history and remaining possibilities.<\/li>\n
- Job-search profile:<\/strong> we define suitable target roles based on capacity, restrictions and realistic labour market options.<\/li>\n
- CV creation:<\/strong> we help create or rewrite a CV that presents experience clearly for the Dutch and international job market.<\/li>\n
- LinkedIn and interview support:<\/strong> we strengthen online visibility and prepare the employee for interviews with confidence and clarity.<\/li>\n
- Job-search and placement support:<\/strong> we assist with vacancy search, applications and the search for a fitting workplace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
CareerSolution uses these deliverables to make the transition into alternative work more concrete. Instead of leaving your employee with broad advice, we help build an application package and search strategy that can actually be used in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That matters in second-track reintegration because suitable work is not just any available job. UWV frames suitable work as work that fits the employee\u2019s illness and capabilities, and the search may also include training, workplace adaptations, and roles at a lower level where appropriate.<\/p>\n\n
\n“CareerSolution combines CV creation, job-search profiling and personal coaching to support sustainable alternative employment.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
Reintegration documentation and UWV-focused reporting for Dutch employers<\/h2>\n\n
A strong second-track process is not only about helping someone apply for jobs. It is also about showing, step by step, that your organisation took the right reintegration actions at the right time.<\/p>\n\n
CareerSolution provides professional progress reporting and documentation throughout the programme. This helps your HR team, absence specialist or case manager maintain a clearer file for Wet Verbetering Poortwachter obligations and for the documents that may later matter in a UWV review or WIA application.<\/p>\n\n
UWV\u2019s review is not a formality. Official guidance states that reintegration efforts across the first 104 sickness weeks are checked, and UWV can impose a wage-sanction extension of up to 52 weeks if insufficient efforts can still be repaired. UWV has also reported that 85% of imposed extensions are linked to not starting reintegration, starting too late, or handling it incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“CareerSolution supports second-track files with progress reporting, which matters when UWV can extend wage payment obligations by up to 52 weeks.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
CareerSolution helps reduce that risk by keeping the second-track programme visible and documented. You can show that the employee received structured coaching, labour market orientation, CV and LinkedIn support, interview preparation, job-search assistance and active placement support, rather than a passive or poorly evidenced process.<\/p>\n\n
For many international employers, that reporting benefit is just as important as the counselling itself. It gives managers and HR a clearer picture of progress, next steps and remaining options, while the employee gets consistent support in English.<\/p>\n\n
Who CareerSolution helps with second-track reintegration<\/h2>\n\n
CareerSolution is built for international organisations in the Netherlands that employ expats, international professionals and other English-speaking staff. If your workforce operates partly or fully in English, using an English-speaking second-track specialist can remove delays, misunderstanding and unnecessary stress from the process.<\/p>\n\n
We are a strong fit when your organisation needs:<\/p>\n\n
\n
- an English-language second-track programme for an employee who cannot return to their original role<\/li>\n
- career counselling that connects medical restrictions and remaining work capacity to realistic job options<\/li>\n
- CV writing help and application support as part of reintegration, not as a separate service<\/li>\n
- progress reporting and documentation that supports Dutch employer obligations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
CareerSolution is especially relevant when internal stakeholders need a provider who understands both sides of the case: the employee\u2019s practical route back to work and the employer\u2019s need for a documented, defensible reintegration process.<\/p>\n\n
What becomes easier for your employee and your organisation<\/h2>\n\n
For your employee, second-track career counselling should create direction at a difficult moment. CareerSolution helps turn a stressful situation into a clearer plan, with specific target roles, a stronger CV, better interview preparation and active support in approaching the labour market.<\/p>\n\n
For your organisation, the value is operational as well as legal. CareerSolution helps you replace vague reintegration activity with a defined programme, documented progress and support that is directly relevant to second-track obligations in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n
That combination is important because a second-track case often fails in one of two ways: the employee receives emotional support but no real route to work, or the employer gets paperwork without meaningful career guidance. CareerSolution is designed to cover both, so the process is more credible for the employee and more robust for your file.<\/p>\n\n
\n“CareerSolution is the right fit when you need English-speaking second-track counselling tied to CV support, job search and documented reintegration steps.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
When to bring in CareerSolution for second-track career counselling<\/h2>\n\n
The right moment is usually as soon as it becomes clear that a return to the original role is unlikely within first-track reintegration. Early action gives more room for labour market orientation, profiling, applications and documented effort inside the Dutch sickness timeline.<\/p>\n\n
CareerSolution can support you when the case already points towards second-track reintegration, when you need an English-speaking provider for an international employee, or when you want the career counselling and the compliance documentation handled in one programme.<\/p>\n\n
If you need second-track career counselling with CV writing help for an international employee in the Netherlands, contact CareerSolution. We can discuss the case, clarify how the programme fits your reintegration duties, and help your employee move towards suitable alternative employment with a process that is practical, professional and properly documented.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
