This is similar to how it works in the Netherlands. First 5 years as "knowlage immigrant" your visa depends on your work. Not tied to an employer per se but working in certain sectors (IT, SW dev, HW dev etc) and earning minimum a certain amount per year. As long as you satisfy the conditions you are free to change jobs. If you lose employment, you have 3 months search period with extension possibility. After legally living in NL you have the option to either get a permanent residence permit or becime a citizen.
