Are references important in the Netherlands?
I am considering moving to the Netherlands and need to find a job.
How important is it with references when looking for qualified (IT) positions in the Netherlands? I have good local references but they generally don't speak English and I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable or embarrass them.

I've have had several jobs in the Netherlands over the past 30 years, and for only one, they asked for references. And only after the first round of interviews. And I have provided a references for someone else only once as well.
Now, this is just personal experience, so your mileage may vary.
