How it works
From vacancy to ranked candidates
Your vacancy sets the bar
Must-haves, pay range, shifts and location together form the profile we match on. The sharper your vacancy, the sharper the list.
Candidates see your vacancy
Candidates discover vacancies through their profile and preferences and can express interest. Interest and a reviewed match are different steps.
You decide who moves on
Werkvolk reviews interest against your vacancy. Read the explanation and choose who to speak to. Discuss experience, certificates and availability with the candidate.
Why it works
Review matches with context
You see why a match holds up
Explore the available requirements, work experience and review explanation. Personality and culture information adds context where completed. Missing information is something to discuss, not evidence that a candidate is unsuitable.
Compare, discuss and decide
Compare candidates, record your assessment and share relevant context with a colleague. Export a profile as PDF or a selection as CSV.
In practice
Reviewing a match for an early-shift forklift driver
A percentage is a starting point. The explanation and conversation help establish whether the candidate and job work together in practice.
See how to start a conversation with a match- Start with the essential requirements
- Check the required certificates, experience with your equipment and availability for the shift. If information is missing from the profile, ask before drawing a conclusion.
- Consider the journey at the right time
- A short distance does not automatically mean someone can start at 6 am. Discuss transport, shift times and the actual workplace entrance with the candidate.
- Use the match to prepare your conversation
- Note what aligns and what needs clarification. Compare relevant experience and requirements; personality and culturefit provide additional context when that information is available.

How fast do I get my first matches?
It depends on the role, location, conditions and candidate interest. After publication, candidates can discover your vacancy. Interest can still be awaiting review; there is no guaranteed candidate count or delivery time.
Will I be sent unsolicited candidates?
No. You only see candidates who viewed your vacancy and showed interest themselves. There is no consultant forwarding profiles.
Can I decide who does not get through?
You set the essential requirements and review the available matches yourself. Use missing information to guide follow-up questions, and decline a match with a reason when the vacancy is not suitable.
Can I compare candidates and share them with a colleague?
Yes. You put candidates side by side in a comparison, and you export a profile as a PDF or a selection as CSV. When downloading you confirm that you will treat the data confidentially.
What does a match percentage mean?
It summarises the available comparison between a candidate and vacancy. It is not the probability of a successful hire or a guarantee that every requirement is met. Review the individual elements and discuss missing information.
Can I search a CV database?
Werkvolk is a vacancy channel where candidates express their own interest. You review available matches for your vacancies; you are not buying access to a general CV database.
