Achterhoek Werkt

What Achterhoek Werkt does

Achterhoek Werkt is a regional online employment platform serving the Achterhoek region of the Netherlands, operated by the private Dutch company Adigo (registered with the Kamer van Koophandel under number 09148642). The platform connects local job seekers, students, and young professionals with regional employers through a self-service job board at achterhoekwerkt.nl, listing 400+ employers and 400+ current vacancies across sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, technology, construction, security, and food & beverage. It also runs De Talententuin, a recurring career event that anchors the platform's offline presence and serves as its flagship student-and-starter recruiting channel.

The underlying technology is a conventional web-based job board built on the Jobster WordPress theme, featuring employer registration and login, company profile pages, vacancy listings, and a beta feature for automatic vacancy publishing that syncs employer websites to the platform. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, API surface, or mobile application. Distribution is entirely regional, relying on organic SEO, regional blog content, and the De Talententuin event for top-of-funnel acquisition.

Commercially, Achterhoek Werkt operates a freemium, subscription-recurring model: employers can create a basic company profile for free, while premium services (including paid vacancy posting and enhanced visibility) are billed annually under undisclosed pricing. The company is bootstrapped with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity. Adigo operates Achterhoek Werkt alongside additional regional labor-market portals, indicating a multi-region roll-up structure rather than single-geography dependence.

Broad incumbents

• Indeed Nederland: Global job search engine with dominant share in the Netherlands. Comparable as a vacancy-listing and job-search platform serving Dutch employers and job seekers, but operates globally with significantly larger scale and aggregation depth.
• Nationale Vacaturebank: Largest Dutch job board with national reach across all industries. Directly comparable as a job-listing platform connecting Dutch employers and job seekers, but operates at national scale with much broader employer base and candidate pool.
• LinkedIn: Global professional network with active job board functionality widely used by Dutch employers and professionals. Comparable as a recruitment platform with employer-paid posting and candidate-search features, but operates globally and serves a much broader professional audience.
• Randstad Nederland: Major Dutch staffing and recruitment firm with broad portfolio including permanent placement and temp staffing. Comparable as a Dutch recruitment services provider serving similar employer segments, but much larger with a wider service portfolio beyond pure job listings.

Direct peers

• Werk.nl (UWV): Official Dutch government employment platform operated by UWV (Employee Insurance Agency). Directly comparable as a free job-listing platform for Dutch employers and job seekers, but government-operated with national scope and integration with unemployment benefits.
• Jobbird: Dutch online job board platform targeting SME employers and job seekers. Directly comparable as a subscription-based Dutch job-listing platform with employer profiles and vacancy posting, but operates nationally rather than in a single region.
• Stageplaza.nl: Dutch internship and graduation assignment matching platform connecting students with employers. Directly comparable on the stages and afstudeeropdrachten portion of Achterhoek Werkt's offering, but operates nationally and specializes exclusively in student placements.
• Monsterboard (StepStone): Dutch job board part of the StepStone Group, focused on vacancy listings across industries. Directly comparable as a Dutch regional/national job-listing platform with employer-posting and candidate-search features, serving similar SMB and mid-market employers.

Emerging players

• Magnet.me: Dutch student and young-professional recruitment platform with internship and graduate-job matching. Comparable on the student/internship side of Achterhoek Werkt's offering, but targets students nationwide and uses a more technology-driven matching approach.

Regional players

• Indeed (Regional/SME job boards in NL): Smaller Dutch regional job boards such as Werkzoeker.nl serve similar employer-posting and job-seeker use cases with a local focus. Comparable as a regional Dutch employment platform with employer listings, but operates in different specific regions than the Achterhoek.
