Amazed that Booking.com isn't on that site yet, the amount of recruiters that approach me on LinkedIn asking if I'm interested working there is shocking. I've had about 4 requests the past month I think for them alone..

Booking.com is the reason why the rest of us have such a hard time finding people... OTOH, they're very generous in their relocation support and most expats get tired of the job before they get tired of Amsterdam, so they do help to fill the pool for the rest of us.

  Mind telling if the salary is ok with them? Having lived in NL before, I would fancy coming back, but salaries/taxes make it prohibiting to move back at my current lifestyle. Is booking offering above market pay?

    I have no idea, but given they effort they put into bringing people in from outside NL I doubt they skimp on salary. The don't have a rep for being cheapskates in general.

  We're just still growing a lot (north of 30% a year) and hiring lots of people. Look at the Priceline quarterly/yearly reports (most of which is Booking.com).

Booking.com has been around since 1996. They are not a start-up according to the website's definition (max age is 4 years).
