How to write a job listing that works in Aruba

Five questions every job listing in Aruba should answer before anyone asks: the job, the pay, the hours, the languages and the papers. With the minimum hourly wage, the DVG health certificate and work…

  • Use the job title people search for, one role per listing.
  • Show the pay in Afl. and check it against the minimum: Afl. 11.58 an hour for employees aged 18 and over since 1 January 2026.
  • State the languages, the DVG health certificate for food and drink jobs, and the right to work in Aruba where they apply.

Step-by-step route

Ask for the qualification the role needs.

A requirement is clearest when it names the work, the level, the field and what else you will accept. Candidates may hold Aruban, Dutch, US or other qualifications; write for all of them.
