Hire .NET developers in the Netherlands.
.NET powers a large part of the business software in the Netherlands, from insurers and government suppliers to SaaS companies on Azure. We recruit C# and .NET developers for permanent roles who build and maintain that software in production.
Short answer: Chase IT Recruitment recruits .NET developers for permanent roles in the Netherlands. You work directly with the founder, we have 25,000+ active engineers in our network and you only pay when someone starts: 20% of the gross annual salary for an exclusive assignment and 23% if you also work with other agencies, with a free replacement within 100 days.
No cure, no pay. Free replacement within 100 days. Permanent hires only.
Why hiring .NET developers is hard
Many .NET developers work at consultancies and secondment agencies and are placed with clients. They are approached often, and move for a product they can own instead of the next assignment.
The .NET world spans old and new: legacy .NET Framework next to modern .NET on Azure with containers. Two candidates with the same title can have very different experience.
Strong .NET developers usually also know Azure, SQL Server and front-end basics. If your role needs all of that at senior level, the pool gets small fast.
