Frequently asked questions
The practical details, without the sales fog.
What DHAF does, what it does not do and how protected client access works.
What is DHAF?
DHAF is an evidence-led method for clarifying a professional’s Dutch-market direction, aligning applications to real hiring decisions and researching active roles that fit.
Is DHAF a recruitment agency?
No. DHAF does not employ, represent or guarantee access to the employers shown in research. It supports the candidate’s decisions and materials.
Are the vacancies really active?
For Live Career Match, DHAF checks the source and status at the stated review time. Employers can still change or close a role afterward. Example cards on the public site are clearly illustrative.
Does DHAF guarantee an interview or job?
No. DHAF guarantees only the agreed analysis and deliverables. Interview and hiring decisions remain with the employer.
Can I work in English or Dutch?
Yes. The public website and written client experience are designed for English and Dutch. The best application language still depends on the vacancy and evidence.
How do the payment options work?
Proposed instalments are interest-free stage payments, not loans or financing. Test checkout, when used, creates no real charge. Live payment is enabled only after written scope, consumer information and every business/legal activation gate are complete.
Who can request Career Restart Access?
Professionals on a low income, returning after unemployment or a career pause, and newcomers rebuilding their position may ask. Places are limited and assessed privately without uploading income documents through the public form.
Can I upload my CV now?
An approved client may upload a PDF or non-macro DOCX up to 3 MB after DHAF has configured the automated scanner. Every file is structurally checked, locked in non-downloadable quarantine, scanned and released only after a clean result. Never upload identity, BSN, residence, health or confidential employer documents.
Is the client portal real?
Yes. A client verifies any accessible email address through a time-limited, one-use DHAF link. A first-time client also enters DHAF’s private access code, accepts the current notices, completes onboarding and waits for DHAF approval. Every private request is checked server-side against the verified session, role and client workspace.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
DHAF reviews the request and may recommend a starting point. The public enquiry remains non-binding. If both sides proceed, DHAF gives you a private registration code; a paid service still requires your acceptance of the exact scope, total price, timing, privacy, terms and withdrawal information.
