Frequently asked questions
Find an answer quickly
How do I post a vacancy?
Straight in the portal, in minutes rather than days. You fill in the role, the terms, the shifts and the location requirements, add your company video and photos and link your company culture to the vacancy. You set up to five must-haves, and your vacancy is live.
Where does my vacancy appear?
You post once and your vacancy goes to seven channels at the same time: to matching skilled workers in the Werkvolk app, automatically on the VDAB website, on its own vacancy page on werkvolkjobs.com, in the vacancy results of Google Jobs, as a shareable link for WhatsApp and social media, through our advertising traffic that brings skilled workers to the platform, and through our partnerships with technical schools and training centres.
Does my vacancy really appear on the VDAB website automatically?
Yes. Werkvolk is an official partner of the VDAB and your vacancy is published on the VDAB website automatically. You do not need to enter it there separately and you do not need to keep anything in sync: you manage everything in the Werkvolk portal.
Does my vacancy end up in Google Jobs?
Yes. Every vacancy gets its own web page with JobPosting structured data, which is exactly what Google needs to show it in the vacancy results. That happens automatically, without you setting anything up.
Does my vacancy get its own web page?
Yes, on werkvolkjobs.com, live within seconds of publishing. That page competes in Google search results, carries your own branding and is shareable with a single link. Change something in the portal and the public page follows within a minute.
How does your advertising traffic work for my vacancy?
Werkvolk invests continuously in advertising that brings skilled workers to the platform. Those adverts land directly on vacancy pages, including yours. So that large advertising traffic automatically works for your vacancy, and it is included in the 149 euro per 4 weeks.
What do the partnerships with schools and training centres bring?
Werkvolk has partnership agreements with technical schools, where we run sessions ourselves, and with training centres. Skilled workers training there flow straight through to the platform. For you that means a supply of young, newly trained talent without having to organise school visits yourself.
How many vacancies can I post?
As many as you like. As long as you have not made your first hire that is completely free, regardless of how many vacancies you post. After that you pay per vacancy you keep online.
Can I edit or pause my vacancy?
Yes, at any time and entirely yourself. You change the text, the pay or the must-haves, and the change appears on your public vacancy page within a minute. You can also pause or stop a vacancy once the role is filled.
What does it mean when you highlight my vacancy?
If you have not hired anyone from a vacancy after 12 weeks, we highlight it for free. It moves up in the results so matching candidates see it sooner. You pay nothing extra for that: it is our way of getting everything out of your vacancy.
Do I have to show the pay on my vacancy?
Yes. Pay, hours and shifts belong on every vacancy on Werkvolk. That is not an administrative hurdle but one of the reasons skilled workers respond: they know up front where they stand, so you only talk to people for whom the figure works.
