Good Dutch is more than just knowing the right words

In the staffing industry, everything revolves around communication. Recruitment consultants switch daily between candidates, clients and colleagues — and must respond quickly, clearly and professionally. Click on a situation to see what targeted language training can mean.

Situation 1

"The phone call isn't going the way I want"

A client calls with a question. You know the answer — but you're not sure how to phrase it professionally and clearly in Dutch.

What helps with this
What targeted training does

With telephone communication as the central theme, recruitment consultants practise the most common conversation structures: introducing yourself professionally, reaching the right person, answering a question and correctly closing the conversation.

Result: more calm and confidence in every phone call.
Situation 2

"Something unexpected happened — and I don't know how to explain it"

A candidate didn't show up. A shift is cancelled. You need to respond immediately — professionally, clearly and without misunderstandings.

What helps with this
What targeted training does

The course includes exercises with difficult situations that recruitment consultants recognise: reporting a candidate's absence, discussing schedule changes and professionally handling client complaints. With the right words and structure.

Result: responding quickly and professionally, even in stressful situations.
Situation 3

"Industry jargon and administrative terms are difficult"

Pay slip, employment contract, hours registration, client — the Dutch professional vocabulary of the staffing industry is extensive and specific.

What helps with this
What targeted training does

The course systematically builds the industry-specific vocabulary of recruitment consultants: the terms and expressions that come up daily in conversations with candidates and clients — practised in context, not as a word list.

Result: the right term immediately available, even under pressure.

How does your recruitment consultant respond?

A call from a candidate. An unexpected question from a client. A difficult situation on the work floor.

Can your team find the right words? Discover it with our interactive Dutch language challenge.

A short, no-obligation introduction to the practical situations from our Dutch for Recruitment Consultants training.

The course covers situations that recruitment consultants and recruiters encounter every day. No generic language exercises, but targeted attention to communication in the staffing industry.

Telephone communication

Professionally starting a phone call, reaching the right person, asking for information and correctly closing conversations.

Communicating with candidates

Asking clear questions, discussing appointments, explaining situations and formulating appropriate responses in a variety of situations.

Conversations with clients

Confidently exchanging information, answering questions and professionally responding to expectations and feedback.

Resolving difficult situations

Practising with complaints, misunderstandings, absent candidates, schedule changes and questions about pay slips.

Industry-specific vocabulary

Learning the Dutch words and expressions that come up daily in the staffing industry — practised in context, not as a word list.

Grammar and sentence structure

Working on clear sentences, correct verb forms, question sentences and natural language use in a professional context.

A language training that fits your organisation

The course can be followed as individual training or as an in-company group training for a team of recruitment consultants.

Individual training

Personalised lessons focused on the specific communication needs of the employee. The trainer tailors the content to the work practice and development points of the participant. Ideal for employees who want to make rapid progress.

In-company group training

Training for a group of recruiters or recruitment consultants from the same staffing agency. Participants practise together with situations that directly match their daily work. Practical, recognisable and immediately applicable on the work floor.

Invest in communication that counts every working day

A recruitment consultant who finds the right words can conduct conversations more clearly and respond more professionally to questions and unexpected situations. That is valuable for the employee, but also for the staffing agency and the people they work with every day.

Language Flow helps organisations to further develop the Dutch language skills of their employees with a practice-oriented programme, tailored to communication within the staffing industry.
