Werkzoeken.nl [Just 💰$0.9] — Dutch Job Listings

What does Werkzoeken.nl do?

Werkzoeken.nl extracts structured job data from werkzoeken.nl — including salary data, apply URLs, company metadata, and full descriptions. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions and company profiles) where the source provides them.

Key features

• 🔗 Paste-mode — paste any werkzoeken.nl URL straight from your browser — single-job pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Build the search you want in the UI, copy the URL, paste it here.
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — every record carries extractedEmails[] and extractedPhones[] regex-pulled from the description — direct-outreach lists with no extra processing step.
• 💰 Structured salary — salary parsed into structured salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency / period — no string parsing on your side. Includes salaryHidden flag when the source filtered against a bracket but the listing itself doesn't disclose.
• 🎯 Batch searches — batch ["python developer", "data engineer", "ML engineer"] in one run — one dedup state across all searches, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
• 📦 Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly compact payloads with core fields only — pipe straight into your ATS, salary-benchmarking tool, or LLM context without parsing extras.
• ✂️ Description truncation — cap description length with descriptionMaxLength to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
• 📌 Change classification — each record carries a changeType of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with emitUnchanged / emitExpired. Repost detection flags previously-expired listings that come back.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — recurring runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records — UNCHANGED and EXPIRED are opt-in. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit and charge only for the diff. Pair with notifications for daily "new jobs" alerts to your hiring team. Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
• 📤 Export anywhere — Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + notifyOnlyChanges for daily "new Werkzoeken jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.

What data can you extract from werkzoeken.nl?

Each result includes Core job fields (jobId, jobKey, title, location, salaryText, salaryRange, salaryMin, and salaryMax, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and descriptionLength), apply information (applyUrl), and company metadata (company, companyType, companyLogo, and companyUrl). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company profiles where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — Job search keywords. Use JSON array for multi-query.
• country — Which werkzoeken.nl market to search. (default: "NL")
• location — City, state, or region. Use JSON array for multi-location.
• radiusKm — Search radius around the location. (default: 30)
• startUrls — Direct search or job detail URLs.
• maxResults — Maximum total job listings to return (0 = unlimited). Dynamic memory scales automatically: up to 50 results uses 512 MB, up to 200 uses 1024 MB, and above 200 uses 2048 MB. (default: 25)
• maxPages — Maximum SERP pages to scrape per search source. Automatically raised when Max Results requires more pages, so this is rarely a hard cap. (default: 5)
• includeDetails — Fetch each job's detail page for full description, salary data, and company info. (default: true)
• includeCompanyProfile — Fetch company overview pages for industry, headcount, and more. (default: false)
• salaryMin — Monthly salary floor filter.
• publishedWithinDays — Filter by posting age.
• hours — Hour-range filter codes from Werkzoeken.nl.
• ...and 26 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape werkzoeken.nl?

Werkzoeken.nl uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.00005 per run
• Per result: $0.00149 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.015
• 25 results: $0.037
• 100 results: $0.15
• 200 results: $0.3
• 500 results: $0.75

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.15	$0.0075	$0.14 (95%)	$0.22
15% — moderate broad query	$0.15	$0.02	$0.13 (85%)	$0.67
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.15	$0.04	$0.10 (70%)	$1.34

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $4.47. First month with incremental costs $0.37 / $0.80 / $1.45 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
