They start with a 6/9/12 months contracts, but they extend the contract often in my experience. Freelancing is just charging your employer per hour with limited employee rights, but the period of the contract doesn't determine if something is a freelance job or not. Also the Dutch tax service isn't strict in checking freelance developers because they earn enough, but there is more discussion in the Netherlands for people that are being pushed into a freelancer position (Dutch people call this a `zzp'er`) for companies to lower the costs of the employer while the rights for the employee suffer.
