Unless you have very good contact/or lots of experience, you are right, you will need a European licence. I think that's how you will stand the best chances of employement but of course there always exceptions and I am sure someone could come and prove it but probably not the majority.
I always think it is a shame that we can't fly where we want without having to convert/spend money in yet another licence.
Good Luck anyway
