Dutch term or phrase:de arbeidsmarkt is open voor zowat alle functies
This is an interview with an HR manager for a staff magazine, so informal language. Company is planning to move its operations base to Germany next year (the 'verhuis' she mentions).
Het deeltje selectie en rekrutering vraagt vandaag opvallend veel meer van Inge haar tijd dan pakweg een jaar geleden. Niet omdat mensen schrik hebben om te beginnen bij een bedrijf in reorganisatie, maar omdat ze zoveel keuze hebben:
Inge: ‘Mensen weten eigenlijk niet zoveel over de verhuis. Op het internet vind je heel weinig. Wij geven de uitleg wel bij het eerste gesprek, heel eerlijk. En dan moeten ze voor zichzelf uitmaken of ze willen beginnen of niet. Maar of dat hen echt afschrikt? Het is gewoon een feit dat **de arbeidsmarkt open is voor zowat alle functies**.
Assume it's referring back to the choice mentioned in the intro, so does it mean something like 'there are so many opportunities available in the labour market'?
I was convinced Tina's interpretation made more sense, but client says this is what's meant. Thanks, everyone! 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Explanation: I think 'arbeidsmarkt' refers more specifically to job openings in their own company.
Example sentence(s):
This includes positions at all levels (from trades/entry-level thru Division Directors) that are related to construction work and/or public works services.
