It’s difficult to find good staff nowadays. In fact, finding really good staff has always been difficult. And finding good VAT-people is even more difficult.
As the largest single point of global VAT information, VATupdate therefore tries to not only provide you with daily VAT news from around the world, but also updates on the VAT employment opportunities.
As with our normal VAT news, we collect job opportunities from various sources, from LinkedIn to specific recruitment websites. But we also often receive requests from companies, advisory firms and other organisations.
Global unemployment numbers from the OECD can be found HERE
Of course, as with all jobs, all employers offer the best opportunities for new employees, with great financial and personal benefits, a really nice work environment and great colleagues. And they all ask motivated, ambitious and enthusiast persons to respond.
How can you make yourself stand-out, as a company or as a candidate?
Actually, we cannot tell you that. Because we are VAT specialists, and not specialised in recruitment. But we do know that we can use you help in maintaining and growing our website.
So if you’re reading our newsletters and visit our website, and we can sometimes make you smile or even laugh, feel free to contact us and get to know us better.
If you have any comments, questions, or ideas that you want to share with us, please send us an email at [email protected] or leave a comment under the posts of this newsletter on LinkedIn.

See you next week!
