We are ranked #6 best employer in the Netherlands for 2025!
Every year, Randstad conducts a global research (this year in 34 countries) on the attractiveness of companies. They also produce a ranking of the most attractive employers in the Netherlands each year, based on this research. We are ranked #6 this year! Compared to a spot outside the top10 in 2024, this is a big improvement! The numbers 1 in the private and public sector receive the Randstad Award. This year, these were ASML (for the private sector) & Máxima Medisch Centrum (for the public sector).
Most attractive employer 2025
Factors that played a role in rating private employers were particularly: it's financial health, career development opportunities, attractiveness of salary and good fringe benefits. This shows that Dutch employees see Thales as a financially healthy company with sufficient career development opportunities (especially as part of Thales Group). Our collective labour agreement and fringe benefits here in the Netherlands are also appreciated.
Other topics frequently cited in the survey are polarisation in the workplace and binding employment (from ‘them’ to ‘us’-culture). Employees generally really value connectedness and cooperation.
Most attractive sector
The various active sectors within the Netherlands were also examined. These were rated on the basis of attractiveness and familiarity. From the breakdown made, the high-tech industry proved to be the only high-scoring (private) sector on both attractiveness and familiarity. Other sectors, such as the energy and IT sectors, scored significantly lower on attractiveness.
