The New Employment Application Form is a essential document used in the Dutch recruitment process, designed to standardize the collection of candidate information while ensuring compliance with both Dutch employment law and EU GDPR requirements. This form serves as the initial formal point of contact between potential employers and job applicants in the Netherlands, gathering necessary information about candidates' qualifications, work history, and eligibility to work. It includes mandatory sections required by Dutch law and optional sections that can be tailored to specific organizational needs. The document is structured to avoid discriminatory practices, protect personal data in accordance with privacy regulations, and create a clear record of the application process. It's particularly important that this form aligns with the Works Councils Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden) and the Equal Treatment Act (Algemene wet gelijke behandeling), while maintaining GDPR compliance.
