16 questions in this topic

Where do I download the Werkvolk app?

On the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. The app is free, including the download itself. You will find the direct links on the download page of this website.

Is the app really completely free?

Yes. Jobseekers can create a profile, view vacancies and use available employer contact for free. You pay no commission on your salary. Employers also publish vacancies for free; they choose whether to pay for further matching or additional services.

How do I create a profile?

Open the app and sign in with your phone number and verification code. Then follow the steps for your profile, experience and search preferences. Enter accurate information and keep it up to date. The app shows which steps are still needed; you do not need to phrase everything perfectly at once.

Do I need to upload a CV or a cover letter?

No. Werkvolk works without a CV and without a cover letter. Your profile is your application. You fill in your experience and your requirements once and use that for every vacancy you show interest in.

How does swiping work in the app?

Review the vacancy and available information about the employer, duties, conditions and workplace. Show interest if the job appeals to you, or skip it. The app shows which actions are available. A like expresses interest; it is not an interview or a hire.

What happens when there is a match?

After you show interest, review and employer steps may still be needed. Follow the status in the app. Once a conversation is available, you can talk directly to the employer. Not every like leads to a conversation; the employer decides whom to invite and you choose whether to continue.

Who can see my profile?

Werkvolk is not a public CV database for employers. Your interest in a vacancy forms the basis for contact and for profile information the relevant employer can view. Authorised staff and service providers also process data to operate the platform, as explained in the privacy policy .

Will I get notified about new vacancies?

Manage notifications in your profile settings, including job alerts and match updates. Push notifications must also be allowed in your phone settings. A job alert follows your saved search, so check those preferences too if you want different jobs.

Which devices does the app work on?

Find the app in the App Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android. The store page shows whether your device and operating system are supported. Update the app and phone where possible; if installation or opening fails, contact us with your device type and error message.

Can I use the app in my own language?

The app is available in Dutch, French, English and German. It follows your phone language by default, and you can also pick the language yourself in the settings.

How do I delete my account?

Open account settings in your profile and choose account deletion. Read the consequences in the confirmation before proceeding: deletion is permanent. The privacy policy explains how your request is processed and any retention periods. To stop temporarily, use account pause instead.

I have not received a login code. What can I do?

Check your phone number and country code and follow the instructions on the code screen. Wait until resend is available and use the newest code. If it still fails, contact us with the error message. Never share a verification code with anyone, including our support team.

Can I temporarily stop looking for work?

Yes. Use account pause in your profile’s account settings, where you can also resume. Turning off notifications is not the same as pausing your account. Read the explanation in the app and keep track of ongoing employer conversations yourself.

Why am I not seeing suitable vacancies?

Check that your profile is complete, your account is active and your location and search preferences are correct. Availability varies by role and region. Broaden your preferences only if those jobs would genuinely work for you. If the screen stays empty or shows an error, contact us with the message.

Why can I temporarily not show more interest?

The app may show a like limit. Check the remaining count and the in-app explanation for your next opportunity. You do not need a paid jobseeker subscription. Use likes for vacancies you actually want to discuss, and report a count that appears incorrect.

What can I do if an employer does not reply?

Check the status of your interest in the app. If a conversation is available, send a short follow-up question. The employer decides whether and when to reply; a like or match does not guarantee a response. Keep exploring other suitable vacancies. If a conversation has a technical problem, report it to Werkvolk.
