Utrecht job goes to candidate with non-Dutch background if suitability is equal

The municipality of Utrecht has a rule for choosing between candidates who are equally suitable for a job.

In that situation, the job goes to a candidate with a non-Dutch background.

The information available does not define what that term means.

The headline raises the question of whether this approach is allowed, but does not give an answer.

It does not say which job or candidates are involved.

No further background or next steps are provided.
