→ Contract types
Dutch employment law gives you four main contract types — each with different rights, durations, and conversion rules. Rational HRM shows you all of them, in plain English.
Vast contract
Permanent employment with full statutory protection. Ketenregeling, transitievergoeding, dismissal protection — all built in. After 2 years or 3 successive fixed-term contracts, the law converts you to permanent automatically and Rational HRM makes sure your employer follows through.
Key statutory rights:
Tijdelijk contract
Fixed-duration contract for a defined period — typically 6 months to 2 years. Same statutory rights as permanent staff, with automatic permanent conversion after 3 contracts or 3 years (WAB ketenregeling). We track the timer for you.
Key statutory rights:
Uitzendwerk
Employment via an uitzendbureau on Rational HRM. Phase A → B → C state machine tracked automatically. From week 26 you receive equal pay parity with permanent staff in the same role (EU Directive 2008/104/EC).
Key statutory rights:
Payroll · detachering
You're formally employed by a payroll company or detachering partner, but work day-to-day at the inlener. Useful for fixed-term work, foreign workers, or staffing through specialist intermediaries.
Key statutory rights:

The platform makes money from employers, not from you. Your coach helps you negotiate, spot shortfalls in offers, and protect your phase progression.
→ Questions
If your question isn’t here, our team replies within an hour during business hours.
No. Rational HRM is completely free for job seekers. We never take a commission off your salary, never charge for premium features, and never sell your data. Employers pay us when they hire — you don't pay anything, ever.
Your AI coach (built on Claude) does three concrete things: (1) reviews your CV and suggests improvements based on the roles you target, (2) scores each job match and explains why, and (3) reads contracts line-by-line, flagging anything below CAO minimums — like missing holiday days, low overtime rates, or weak notice periods.
Permanent (vast) is indefinite. Fixed-term (tijdelijk) has a clear end date and converts to permanent after 3 contracts or 3 years (ketenregeling). Uitzend means you're employed by an agency that places you at a hirer — Phase A/B/C state machine tracks your rights. Payroll/detachering is similar but typically more stable. Rational HRM shows the type on every listing and explains what it means for your specific role.
Yes. Every employer profile shows current and former employee reviews, response time, hiring patterns, and pay reliability scores. We verify reviewers are actual past or present staff via Tax authority data, with full anonymity protection.
Yes. When an offer arrives, your AI coach compares it against CAO minimums, sector medians, and the salary range shown in the original listing. If anything is low, it drafts a counter-offer reply for you with the specific clauses to renegotiate.
GDPR-strict. Your profile is only shared with employers when you apply to their job — never proactively. Rejected applications are purged after 4 weeks unless you opt in to extended retention. You can delete your account and all data in one click, exporting first if you want.
Yes. Many Rational HRM users have both — a permanent role plus occasional freelance shifts. The platform keeps them legally separate (different tax IDs, different contracts, different reporting) and warns you if combining them in a way that would trigger schijnzelfstandigheid risk.
