Labor laws can cut both ways. It's a bigger threshold for companies to hire someone because it's harder (more expensive) to get rid of people. But then again we have proeftijd for permanent positions. In the first two months either party can walk away without obligations. I am Dutch, I worked as a contractor for about 10 years some time ago and was asked once to work the first 2 weeks of a contract period for free. By an intermediary. I am not even sure if his client proposed it to him and he wanted to pass on the burden or if he was the one who proposed it to get a foot in the door. It went nowhere, it was the only time.
