• Technical Architect to design, build and deploy complex, maintainable and scalable enterprise systems and applications while providing leadership throughout the entire lifecycle of sophisticated web solutions. This is very much a hands-on and leadership role to create innovative & profitable online experiences for global brands.

Time to market is extremely short on these projects and a perfect balance needs to be found between meeting deadlines and long-term sustainability.
• J2EE developers to design, implement, test and release improvements for a high-performance and large-scale networking system. This position requires a deep understanding of network protocols and a preference for a volatile working environment.

Here at The White Door we are not your typical recruiters. Our backgrounds range from Development to Networking to Website Usability. To find you the ideal role we believe in an open & honest approach, listen to your needs and find the right job and employer. We offer a fresh approach to recruitment and spend more time and energy with the job seekers we help…

1. We start with a 30 – 60 minute chat to find out more about you and your needs. We prefer a face-to-face meeting or Skype video chat but we can simply call you if those options are not possible.
2. We prepare a customised matrix for you to tell your new employer more about your skills and accomplishments that relate to the jobs you are interested in. Most CVs just mention responsibilities but we need to dig deeper. This information makes it easy for the employer to say yes to an interview and also helps your interviews to be more relevant.
3. We create a new and detailed CV for your job applications by combining your current CV, online profiles, our opinion and the additional information you provided in the matrix.
4. Then we help with your interviews, job offers, relocation and much more.

We can only assist people who are serious about a new job in Amsterdam and are willing to spend the time and energy to show The White Door and potential employers that they have the motivation, commitment, skills and experience that we all expect.
