How we count

The Vacaturemonitor counts every job listed on personeel.com/vacatures at the time shown: jobs from employers who recruit through Personeel.com, and jobs employers publish on their own websites. A job found at more than one source counts once.

The role comes from the job title (an "Allround servicemonteur" is a mechanic). A job can fall under more than one role, and not every job falls under a role or sector. "New" means posted in the last 30 days, by the date the employer published the job. Shares are of all jobs.

The median salary is gross per month for a full-time job, from the jobs of that role that state a salary (the middle of each stated range). Internship allowances and youth wages are left out; it is shown when at least five jobs from two employers state one.

This page shows the count at the end of September 2026 and no longer changes. You are welcome to quote it; please cite "Personeel.com Vacaturemonitor September 2026".
