Previous applicants, new opportunities
Someone who was not right for a previous role may be worth considering for a different vacancy. Start with the profiles your company already holds.
ATS candidate matching
Your next hire may already be in your ATS

How it works
From your existing candidates to a relevant shortlist
Choose the vacancy
Select a vacancy with paid matching active and the ATS list your team is allowed to use. You choose the scope.
Check the expected usage

Use what you already have
Make your existing candidate pool useful again
Reasons you can assess
See which available profile details relate to the vacancy and where information is missing. A suitability score does not mean the candidate is interested or available.
An allowance your team controls
Team includes 1,000 evaluations, Business 3,000 and Group 10,000 per calendar month. The billing account shares one allowance, with no rollover or automatic overage charges.
In practice
When this helps
You are recruiting for a new role and have a pool of earlier applicants. Reviewing every profile manually takes time.
Explore Werkvolk matching- A different vacancy
- Look again at previous applicants for the requirements of the role you are hiring for now.
- A relevant part of your pool
- Start with the permitted candidate pool. Where the provider supports it, a department restriction narrows the list. Your run limit controls how many profiles are checked.
- A recruiter makes the decision
- Review the evidence, check current availability and choose the next step yourself. A scan will not contact anyone automatically.
What is included?
A separate allowance with your subscription
Team: 1,000, Business: 3,000, Group: 10,000 evaluations per month, including annual subscriptions. Free publishing, the Per vacancy plan and one-off purchases do not include it. You need an activated candidate reader, permission to use the candidate pool and active paid matching on the selected vacancy.

Which ATS candidate readers are available?
In development: candidate readers for selected providers. Activation depends on verification of the provider connection and candidate permissions. Importing vacancies or receiving applications alone does not enable access to an existing candidate pool. Contact us to check your connection.
How is this different from receiving candidates through Werkvolk?
This feature assesses candidates already held in your own ATS for a vacancy you select. Werkvolk matching helps you reach candidates through our vacancy channel. These sources and allowances stay separate, including your first 2 free Werkvolk-reviewed matches.
Which plans include it?
Team includes 1,000 evaluations, Business 3,000 and Group 10,000 per calendar month. The same monthly amounts apply with annual billing. Usage is shared across the billing account. Free accounts, the Per vacancy plan and one-off purchases do not include it; the vacancy also needs active paid matching.
What counts as an evaluation?
One successfully scored candidate against one vacancy uses one evaluation. A different vacancy or changed candidate evidence, vacancy or scoring model requires a new evaluation. Viewing a retained result, reusing the same unchanged result and retrying the same operation do not use another evaluation. Unreadable, excluded or insufficient profiles do not count against your allowance.
What happens when we reach the limit?
New evaluations stop at the cap. Your allowance resets at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month, with no rollover. You can wait for the reset or choose a larger subscription. There are no automatic overage charges.
Will our candidates become visible to other employers?
No. Results are private to authorised company administrators and are retained for up to 30 days. Revoking access or changing its scope removes prior result evidence. This feature does not create Werkvolk candidate accounts, contact people or make hiring decisions.
What does the score tell us?
It compares available professional evidence with the vacancy. Missing information remains unknown; the score does not establish interest, availability or culture fit. A recruiter reviews the evidence and follows up in the ATS.
Can I close the page while the comparison runs?
Yes. Your job stays queued and runs on the server. Progress updates automatically, and reopening the vacancy retrieves its saved status. The administrator who started the job receives an email when it finishes or stops, provided they still have access.
