01What exactly is Werkvolk?
Werkvolk is an additional mobile vacancy channel for Belgian employers. Jobseekers discover vacancies in the free app and choose where to show interest. Employers manage vacancies, available matches and conversations in the portal. Werkvolk is not a staffing agency or CV database: employers handle selection and hiring themselves.
Who is Werkvolk for?
For skilled workers and operational profiles on one side, and the employers looking for them on the other. Think welders, forklift operators, warehouse staff, technicians, cooks, receptionists and administrative profiles. On the employer side, small family businesses and organisations with several sites both use the platform.
Is Werkvolk a temp agency or a recruitment agency?
No. Werkvolk is neither. Every vacancy on the platform is a direct contract with the employer itself, part time or full time. There is no consultant standing between you, and no commission is charged per placement.
Which region is Werkvolk active in?
Werkvolk focuses on jobs in Belgium. Workplace, home location and search preferences help identify relevant vacancies. Availability and interest vary by role and region; a suitable vacancy or candidate is not guaranteed at every moment.
Which sectors have vacancies?
Mainly construction, production and industry, logistics and transport, technical and maintenance work, hospitality, cleaning and administration. Our job categories follow the VDAB occupation list, so you will find both broad roles and specialisations such as pipe welder, reach truck operator or security systems installer.
What does Werkvolk cost?
The app is free for jobseekers. Posting vacancies is free, with no limit on the number you publish. Your account receives its first 2 Werkvolk-reviewed matches free as a one-time allowance. For further matching, choose a subscription: €149 per vacancy per month, Team for €449, Business for €799 or Group for €1,799 per month. All amounts exclude VAT.
How is Werkvolk different from a job board or LinkedIn?
Werkvolk adds mobile discovery and profile information to your search. You review the vacancy and decide whether to show interest. For employers it is an additional channel alongside their careers page and other recruitment, with available match information and follow-up in the portal.
Who is behind Werkvolk?
Werkvolk was founded in Limburg, after months of conversations at job fairs and inside companies. The founders went round with a notebook, talking to HR managers, business owners and skilled workers about what actually goes wrong. Three things came back every time: vague pay, no reply after applying, and mismatches that are not about skills but about culture. The platform is built around those three problems.
Does Werkvolk work for office or management roles?
The platform is built around skilled workers and operational roles, and that is also where our candidate supply sits. Administrative and support roles such as customer service, reception or administrative assistant are definitely covered. For management positions and highly specialised office profiles we are not the strongest channel today, and we would rather say that up front than afterwards.
How do I get in touch with Werkvolk?
Email hello@werkvolkjobs.com or use the website contact form. Describe where you are stuck and identify the vacancy if your question concerns one. Never share your login code. Employers can also view a demo or request a conversation about the platform.
