Dutch & Belgian Companies Hiring Now – Vacancy Leads (NL/BE)

Which companies near you are hiring right now, and for what? Get a list of Dutch and Belgian employers with open vacancies in your region and segment, straight from their own career sites, without agency reposts. One row per company: how many vacancies, which roles, in which cities, what is new this week, and which vacancies have been open so long that they are probably hard to fill.

• For uitzendbureaus and interimkantoren, detacheerders, werving & selectie, B2B sales teams and labour-market analysts.
• Price: $0.02 per company lead, $0.001 per vacancy row. A typical first run costs about $0.70 and takes under a minute.
• No job-board scraping, no personal data, staffing agencies and job boards filtered out: direct employers only.

Example output

A run for Noord-Brabant (6 October 2026, leads only, minimum 2 vacancies) returned 35 employers in 23 seconds. The top of the list:

Employer	Vacancies	Open 60+ days	Main roles	Cities
GGz Breburg	124	91	zorg 118	Breda, Tilburg, Dongen
BAS Group	88	59	sales 22 · techniek 17 · logistiek 14	Veghel
Savant Zorg	61	40	zorg 49	Helmond
Vencomatic Group	40	28	techniek 15 · ict 5	Eersel
NTS	21	16	productie 9 · techniek 7	Eindhoven

Every lead also carries a one-line Dutch summary ("BAS Group zoekt 17 technici in Veghel"), the salary range where published ("€ 4.361 – € 5.901 per maand"), its three newest vacancies with links, the website, and links to look the company up in the KvK, KBO or LinkedIn.

Quick start

1. Pick Provinces (or Cities) and, optionally, Job groups. The form is prefilled with a cheap Noord-Brabant example.
2. Click Start. The Output tab opens with the Company leads view.
3. Want every vacancy as a row too? Set What to deliver to Company leads + every vacancy and switch to the Vacancies view.

Your own prospect list? Paste websites, careers pages or job-board links into Company websites or job pages. This works for any Dutch or Belgian employer on a public job system, not only the ones in the built-in directory.

Recipes

• Weekly lead feed for your region. Save a task with your provinces and job groups, turn on Only new since the previous run, and schedule it weekly. From the second run you only get employers with new vacancies, and only the new vacancies; employers without news are not charged again. A province typically costs $1–2 per month this way.
• Hard-to-fill vacancies. Set Only vacancies open at least (days) to 60: the employers that have struggled to fill a role for two months are the warmest leads for an agency.
• Are my clients hiring? Put your client or prospect domains in your own company list and schedule it: a free not_found record tells you which employers have no public vacancies.
• Into Google Sheets or your CRM. Use Apify's Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or webhook integrations on the scheduled task. Every list field also has a flat text version (jobGroupsText, topCitiesText, signalsText), so the export is one column per field.

Coverage (read this before your first run)

The built-in directory holds about 680 Dutch and Belgian employers that publish their vacancies on a public job system (≈550 with Dutch and ≈210 with Belgian vacancies, ≈6,400 open vacancies, October 2026 build).

Region	Employers	Region	Employers
Noord-Holland	305	Brussel	67
Zuid-Holland	111	Antwerpen	54
Noord-Brabant	64	Oost-Vlaanderen	33
Utrecht	57	Vlaams-Brabant	26
Gelderland	34	Waals-Brabant	21
Overijssel	24	West-Vlaanderen	15
Friesland / Flevoland / Limburg / Groningen	17–22 each	Luik / Limburg (BE)	12–13
Zeeland / Drenthe	8–9	Henegouwen / Namen / Luxemburg	3–9

Strongest segments: healthcare and mental health (GGZ, hospitals), IT and tech, finance and accounting, sales, consultancy. Thinner: logistics, production, transport and cleaning, where many employers use agencies or closed systems. Your segment thin? Use your own company list: any employer whose careers page links to Recruitee, Teamtailor, Workable, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Personio, SmartRecruiters or Workday works.

Other limits, honestly: nationwide/remote vacancies have no province and are left out by a province filter; KvK numbers appear only where the employer prints its number on its own website (with SBI code and legal form for those numbers, cached); Belgian leads get the validated enterprise number but no KBO data yet.

What you get per company

Field	Meaning
company, summary	Employer and its main hiring signal in one Dutch sentence.
matchingJobs, uniqueRoles	Open vacancies matching your filters, and the number of distinct roles (one role posted for five offices counts once).
newJobs7d, longOpenJobs, medianDaysOpen	Posted in the last 7 days; open for 60+ days (moeilijk vervulbaar); median age.
jobGroupsText, topCitiesText, provincesText	Counts per job group, city and province (also as arrays).
salaryRangeText, parttimeShare	Median published salary range, and the share of part-time (≤ 32 h) vacancies.
topVacancies	The three newest vacancies: title, city, days open, link.
momentum	heet (≥ 70) / groeiend (≥ 50) / stabiel (≥ 30) / traag: number of vacancies, share posted in the last 30 days and growth since the previous run.
newSinceLastRun, closedSinceLastRun	Change since the previous run of the same task. The first run says Eerste meting opgeslagen: changes appear from the second run.
website, careersUrl, kvkNumber, kboNumber, sbiCode, kvkSearchUrl, kboSearchUrl, linkedinSearchUrl	Next-step links for your CRM.
status	ok, or (free, only for your own list) not_found / error with the reason in message.

Job groups (beroepsgroepen): logistiek, transport, productie, techniek, bouw, zorg, onderwijs, horeca, schoonmaak, beveiliging, retail, klantenservice, administratie, financien, ict, sales, marketing, hr, juridisch, advies, management, stage (internships and graduation projects, easy to exclude) and overig (titles that fit no group).

How it compares

• Job-board scrapers (Indeed, Nationale Vacaturebank, werk.nl, VDAB): far more vacancies, but full of agency reposts and duplicates, no per-company view, and job-board terms of service. Use them for volume; use this Actor for companies.
• Global career-site job feeds: jobs only, no Dutch provinces, job groups or hiring signals, and $0.004–0.012 per job. An employer with 50 vacancies costs $0.20–0.60 there, $0.02 here as one lead.
• Jobdigger / Textkernel Jobfeed: complete market data on subscription; this Actor is pay-per-use with no contract.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists employers checked, leads, vacancies and KvK lookups.

When should an AI agent use this?

• "Which companies in Noord-Brabant are hiring technicians right now?"
• "Give me healthcare employers in the Netherlands with at least 3 open vacancies."
• "Which employers in Utrecht have vacancies open for more than 60 days?"
• "Is acme.nl hiring, how many vacancies, and in which cities?"
• "Which new vacancies appeared in Zuid-Holland this week?"

Do not use it for job-board volume or for contact persons: it returns no personal data.

How it works

1. Selects employers from the built-in directory (built from the Common Crawl index, refreshed during maintenance) or resolves your own list (careers page, /werken-bij, /vacatures, werkenbij. subdomain, or a guessed board that must carry the company's name).
2. Reads each employer's live public job feed, politely throttled per job system.
3. Locates every vacancy: postcode first (exact PDOK table for NL, bpost ranges for BE), then the place name, then the job system's region; foreign locations ("Kampen, Germany") are dropped.
4. Classifies job group, seniority, hours per week (not working hours or shifts) and salary (only with a salary word nearby, so budgets are ignored).
5. Compares with the previous run of the same feed, builds the company lead, and adds KvK/KBO data where the employer publishes its number.

Pricing

$0.02 per company lead and $0.001 per vacancy row (pay per event). Free: not_found and error records, skipped agencies, and leads of a weekly feed without new vacancies. Examples: first run in leads mode ≈ $0.70; a weekly only new feed for one province ≈ $1–2 per month. Set a maximum charge per run to cap spend; the Actor stops cleanly and still delivers cheaper vacancy rows that fit.

Legal

Only public data meant for distribution: employers' own job feeds (no login, no anti-bot circumvention), the KVK Open Dataset (open data) and company numbers that companies publish on their own website. No job-board content. No personal data: no recruiter names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers. You remain responsible for how you use the leads (GDPR, rules for cold outreach).

FAQ

Why not Indeed or Nationale Vacaturebank? Their terms forbid scraping, and their ads are full of agency reposts. Employer career sites are the original, legal source.

Why is kvkNumber empty for most employers? Few employers print their KvK number on their website. Use kvkSearchUrl to look it up in one click.

How fresh is the data? Vacancies are read live on every run; the list of employers in the directory is refreshed during maintenance.

Does it work for French-speaking Belgium? Yes, Wallonia and Brussels are included and French titles are classified, but coverage is strongest in Flanders and Brussels.
