1. Definitions
In this supplement, the terms used in the General Terms and Conditions are supplemented with the following definition:
Job Vacancy Scraper: An automated system that collects and indexes job vacancies and related information from employers' websites, with the aim of making this information available on our website.
2. Use of the Job Vacancy Scraper
2.1. With the introduction of the Job Vacancy Scraper, we offer employers the opportunity to efficiently post their job vacancies and related information on our website.
2.2. When an employer creates an account on our website, the employer agrees that the vacancies and related information will be automatically scraped and included in our system.
2.3 WRK.frl/ scrapes vacancies from the 'work at' page or vacancy page of employers who have a company profile on our platform. Exceptions to this are employment agencies, secondment agencies and other similar organisations that mediate job vacancies and personnel for clients.
2.4 If there are multiple job vacancies on a single web page, we are unable to scrape them.
2.5 There are situations in which we are unable to scrape a website:
- When the technical structure of the website does not allow scraping.
- When the website is multilingual and does not have a clear distinction for Dutch-language vacancies.
- When there is no separate job vacancy page for the company itself (i.e. only websites managed by the company itself are scraped).
- When several vacancies are published on a single web page.
- When it comes to job boards, we do not scrape them.
2.6 We aim to scrape job vacancies within 24 hours, but if a website is not yet known to us or there are technical limitations, it may take up to five working days before this is adjusted.
3. Automatic Data Processing and Scraping
3.1 WRK.frl/ uses an automated scraper to collect and display job vacancies from external sources.

WRK.frl/ reserves the right to take legal action if unauthorised use is detected.
7. Use of contact details

Application process via WRK.frl/: supplement as of 15 September 2025

- WRK.frl/ ensures the correct technical processing of job applications and forwards them in a uniform format to the email address provided by the employer. Employers are responsible for keeping this email address up to date and correct.
- If an employer uses an ATS or other internal system, applications can only be sent to the email address provided by the User. Any internal processing or links are the responsibility of the employer.
- WRK.frl/ cannot be held liable for applications that do not arrive as a result of:
- an incorrect or outdated employer email address;
- technical limitations or settings of the ATS or the employer's internal systems;
- failure to follow up by the employer. - WRK.frl/ collects anonymised and aggregated data on application behaviour via the platform for the purposes of reporting, analysis and service improvement. This data is not shared at individual applicant level without consent.

If you change any information in the dashboard, you must always click the "Update Profile" button. This blue button is located at the very bottom right of the page.
As a company, you can post your job vacancies on WRK.frl/. You can create the vacancy in your company profile; it will then appear in our system as ‘pending’. The vacancy will then be approved, and once that has happened, it will be visible on the platform.
Every job vacancy has an application form that forwards applications directly to the email address you have provided. As an employer on WRK.frl/, you are responsible for ensuring that the correct email address in our system is kept up to date. You can check this and update it where necessary via your employer profile. It is also possible to include the employer’s email address in a job vacancy. WRK.frl/ has no access to the information sent by applicants and cannot recover lost information or information sent to an incorrect email address.
Why apply via a form?
✅ Simpler and faster processing of applications
We send you all the applicant’s details in a single, clear email. This means you have the CV, cover letter and contact details conveniently in one place. And every email looks the same. This ensures simple processing of applications.
✅ Consistent and user-friendly experience
Applicants don’t have to fill in complicated forms or navigate through multiple pages. Everything is clear and easy to use, which lowers the barrier to applying.
✅ More applications
Applying becomes simpler and faster. And that naturally results in more applicants. This increases your chances of finding suitable candidates.
WRK.frl/ has the largest internship board in Friesland for both vocational and higher vocational students. Just as with job vacancies, WRK.frl/ can automatically post all internships on behalf of many employers. And, of course, employers can also post their own internship vacancies. Post a vacancy as you normally would, tick the ‘internship’ box, and your vacancy will appear immediately on the internship noticeboard (subject to approval). In addition, students can also post an internship request. Employers can view these requests and easily have their contact details forwarded to the student. It is then up to the student to contact the employer. WRK.frl/ has no access to the information sent.
Internship BoardWRK.frl/ does not have access to applicants’ details. We are unable to contact these jobseekers.
WRK.frl/ has no insight into responses to job applications, coffee meetings or other potential points of contact between jobseekers and employers. If a company fails to respond to a job application, a coffee meeting or any other form of contact, the responsibility lies with the company itself. It is always possible that an email from a potential applicant has ended up in the spam folder; we therefore recommend checking your spam folder regularly.
WRK.frl/ uses a job listing scraper. This scraper allows us to retrieve job listings directly from 90% of employers’ websites and repost them on WRK.frl/. Before we repost a job vacancy, we check it manually to ensure that everything is correct. We are continuing to improve this system so that we can scrape data from an increasing number of employers. With the scraper, you no longer need to worry about it yourself, but you can always choose to post job vacancies manually (as well).
We are unable to scrape all websites for the following reason:
- The website’s design prevents effective scraping.
- PDFs can sometimes be difficult to extract.
- The technical structure of the website is unsuitable.
- Scraping is often impossible for employers who offer job vacancies from third parties, such as temporary employment agencies, recruiters, intermediaries, etc.
Any employer in Friesland can create a free employer profile. You can do this via the link below under the heading ‘Sign up’.

If you wish to change this, you can do so by typing the new email address in the same field. Then click the ‘Update Profile’ button and the change will be applied. You will also receive an email confirming this change.
See your dashboardUsing the Matchtool on WRK.frl/, jobseekers can answer a series of questions to see exactly which employers are a good fit for them in terms of corporate culture. Employers can enter their answers to these questions in their employer dashboard. This ensures that the initial contact between employers and jobseekers gets off to a good start, as jobseekers already know a great deal about the corporate culture and can see that it matches their expectations.
