Overheidvac

Policy, legal and public-service talent in the Netherlands.

Overheidvac is built for Dutch government and public-sector roles. Its official site gives employers a more focused audience than a general job market. Join currently supports paid distribution only. Use it when that focus is central to the vacancy, and add Nationale Vacaturebank when the search needs broader occupational or geographic reach.

Who Overheidvac works for

The official site names policy adviser, legal and communications work as representative government vacancies. Public-purpose context, administrative level and the citizen or policy impact should be explicit.

How it fits your channel mix

Treat Overheidvac as the precise paid layer in the mix. Nationale Vacaturebank adds breadth beyond its core audience, while Join keeps both placements attached to the same vacancy.

Questions

What roles should employers post on Overheidvac?
Overheidvac has the clearest fit for Dutch government and public-sector roles. Use another channel when that focus is incidental rather than essential.
Does Join distribute jobs organically to Overheidvac?
No. The current registry contains a paid route only, with no organic or employer-contract distribution.
Why pair Overheidvac with Nationale Vacaturebank?
Nationale Vacaturebank can widen occupational or geographic discovery beyond Overheidvac's focused audience. The right mix depends on the vacancy, not the board name alone.
Do I need my own Overheidvac account?
No. Join holds the contract with Overheidvac, so you post from your Join account and never set one up.
Is posting on Overheidvac cheaper through Join?
Usually, yes. Join buys Overheidvac inventory in bulk and passes the rate on, which works out up to 50% below booking the same product direct. Indeed and LinkedIn Sponsored are the exceptions and stay at list price.
