About Overheidvac

Overheidvac is the Vacatureland network’s Dutch job board for government work, and its homepage puts the Rijksoverheid, the national government, at the centre. Policy-officer, legal and communications-advisor are the roles its own positioning names. Use it when the vacancy’s link to national government is central to how candidates will judge its relevance.

Overheidvac's own positioning narrows to national government work, naming policy-officer, legal and communications-advisor roles as its examples rather than public-sector employment broadly. A candidate browsing a board this specific is filtering for that one employer type first, then the function. That favours a vacancy that can say plainly it sits inside the Rijksoverheid, since the audience is built around exactly that claim.

For an administrative or policy role that could just as well sit at a municipality or a private employer, add Vacatureland, the network’s nationwide site across sectors and regions, so the vacancy isn’t confined to an audience built around the Rijksoverheid. Keep Overheidvac on its own when the national-government employer is itself the draw.

Overheidvac FAQ

Which roles fit Overheidvac?
Policy, legal and communications roles at national government bodies (the Rijksoverheid), which is what the site itself is built around. A municipal or provincial vacancy is a weaker fit, since the audience narrows specifically to national government.
Which Overheidvac product should I choose?
If the role is one national-government candidates already look for, a policy officer or lawyer say, Premium Posting is usually enough: branding, a place in the emails and distribution across the whole network for 60 days. Pick the Premium Highlighted Job Ad when you want people who don’t follow government vacancies, such as a communications advisor from the private sector, since it adds priority on the homepage and a social-media push.
Do I need my own Overheidvac account?
No. Join publishes to Overheidvac for you, so you post from your Join account and never set one up.
Is posting on Overheidvac cheaper through Join?
Yes. The pricing table shows Join's price beside the price of booking the same product directly on Overheidvac, with the saving on each product that has one.
