What you manage in the portal and how it fits alongside your existing process.
14 questions in this topic
01
What is the Werkvolk portal?
The portal is the employer side of the platform. You manage your vacancies, your matches, your conversations with candidates, your culture profiles and your insights, all in one place. You do not need any software: you log in through your browser, including on your phone or tablet.
02
How do I get started as an employer?
Create an employer account, enter your company details and prepare your vacancy. You can paste vacancy text, then check and complete the suggested details. Publishing vacancies stays free. The first 2 reviewed matches are free across your account; you activate further matching yourself with a paid plan.
03
How many recruiters can I add?
Unlimited, and with no per-user cost. Your whole hiring team can be on the platform, from HR manager to hiring manager and team leader. Several recruiters can even sit in the same conversation with a candidate, so nobody loses the thread through illness or holidays.
04
Can I manage several sites or brands?
Yes. With multi-company management you add sub-companies or sites, each with their own branding, their own vacancies and their own culture profile. You switch between companies with the company switcher and keep the overview central. Useful as soon as you hire in more than one location.
05
Does Werkvolk replace my ATS?
Use Werkvolk to attract and review candidates, then continue in the tools your business relies on. Use the portal for vacancies, matches, notes, chat and interviews. Contract management and payroll stay in your own systems.
06
And if we do not have an ATS yet?
Then you do not need one to start. Vacancies, matches, conversations and the follow-up right up to the hire all happen in the Werkvolk portal. If you move to an later, Werkvolk stays the layer in front and nothing changes about your candidate supply.
07
Do you integrate with existing HR systems?
In development: connections with Jobtoolz, Teamtailor and Workday. We are building a workflow where you review vacancies from your before publication. Import does not activate matching: paid matching requires a separate choice and budget. Depending on the system, we plan anonymous review or a handoff after a match. Identity and CV are shared only when the match and permission allow it; messages can be relayed through Werkvolk. These connections are not generally available yet. Talk to us about what is tested and available for your system. Your team keeps control of selection and hiring. Want to rediscover candidates already in your ? See ATS candidate matching .
08
What insights do I get about my vacancy?
Follow reach, views and interest, review rejection reasons and monitor response and hiring times. The information available depends on activity and the candidate feedback you receive. Detailed vacancy insights are included with paid matching.
09
Can I see what my vacancy looks like to a candidate?
Yes. Use the mobile preview while drafting to check text, conditions and media. The final display can vary by device and available data. The preview helps review your content before publication.
10
Can I see the portal before I post anything?
Yes. View the demo or create a free employer account to explore the portal. Publishing vacancies stays free, including if you hire someone. You choose a paid plan for further matching after your first 2 reviewed matches.
11
What is an ATS?
stands for Applicant Tracking System: software for managing vacancies, applications and candidates, and tracking the steps in your hiring process.
12
Where do vacancies on Werkvolk come from?
Employers post vacancies on Werkvolk themselves. We also publish vacancies from Belgian employers’ own careers pages, naming the source. We do not retrieve these vacancies from VDAB. If your company is already on Werkvolk, you can claim its company page.
13
Can a temp or recruitment agency use Werkvolk?
No. Werkvolk is for employers who hire themselves. Temp, recruitment and secondment agencies cannot post vacancies or approach candidates; such accounts are not verified. That way skilled workers know they are talking to the employer directly.
14
Why is my company already on Werkvolk?
Werkvolk may publish vacancies from your own careers page, naming the source. This does not mean you already have an account or paid subscription. Claim your company page to take over management. Contact us with the company or vacancy link if the listing is incorrect.
