Use cases

• Labour market monitoring: vacancy counts per city, category or employer over time.
• Recruitment agencies: find which employers advertise directly and which go through recruiters.
• Salary research: salary ranges by function, region and education level.
• Job aggregators: a daily feed of Dutch vacancies with coordinates and apply links.
• Competitor tracking: see which roles a company hires for.

How much does it cost?

The actor is billed per result: a small fee per run start and a fee per vacancy returned, as shown on the pricing tab. The most a run can cost in results is the per-result price times Max results. A run of 100 vacancies takes a few seconds and uses less than one cent of compute. The usage cost of a run settles after the run has SUCCEEDED, so it does not show on a run that is still in progress.

Data source and limits

The data comes from the public vacancy search of Nationale Vacaturebank. The actor does not log in and does not collect personal contact details. Salary is empty when the employer does not disclose it. The same vacancy can appear on the site under several recruiters, and each listing is returned as the site shows it. City names must match the site spelling, for example Den Haag. The actor capitalises each word for you.

FAQ

Does it work without a proxy? Yes. The site's vacancy search answers plain requests.

How fresh is the data? Each run reads the live site, so results are current at the time of the run.

Can I get every vacancy? Yes. Set Max results to 100,000 and leave the filters empty. The run takes a few minutes per 10,000 vacancies.

Why is the salary empty for some vacancies? Many employers do not publish a salary. The field is empty in that case.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes, use Apify schedules and compare runs by jobId.
