On 1 January 2021, Clingendael, including the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), employed 100 people. The number of staff decreased slightly from the 2019 level (103), but there was also a change in the number of foreign staff and interns. Clingendael employed people of 11 different nationalities in 2020 (7 European and 4 non-European). Interns were of 7 different nationalities (European).

We are fortunate in continuing to attract a high-quality and high-quantity response to our vacancies. This resulted in 31 new hires for regular jobs, while 30 university students from the Netherlands and abroad completed internships at Clingendael in 2020. In 2019 we had 49 new hires and 45 interns.

Recruitment is primarily carried out through our website, our weekly newsletter and social media, as well as through all Clingendael staff and interns. In 2020 a very successful digital version of the Open Student Day was launched with over 180 participants worldwide.

Staff training boosted, which resulted in a large number of employees (93) participating in skills-oriented training, ranging from language training, personal effectiveness to safety & security trainings for travelling staff members.
