CVs from Werk.nl are Partially Anonymized
As of May 14, personal data is no longer visible on CVs from Werk.nl. The platform now only displays anonymized CVs to enhance the privacy of job seekers.

The phone number remains available (yay!), but the name, address details, and email address are currently not accessible to recruiters. As a result, about 40% of candidates can only be contacted via the messaging service on the Werk.nl platform.

Contacting Werk.nl Candidates
Starting from May 27, you can easily send messages to candidates on Werk.nl using Robin. Until then, you need to log in to Werk.nl to use their messaging service.

Since not every recruiter is authorized to log in to Werk.nl via eHerkenning, it can be challenging for many users to send messages. Therefore, we are simplifying this process with Robin. Read below to find out how.

Granting Robin Access with eHerkenning
It's essential that sending messages is done securely. With an authorization via eHerkenning, you can safely instruct Robin to send messages on your behalf on the Werk.nl platform. The sender of the message remains your company name. Recruiters receive responses from candidates by phone and on their business email.

This way, you don't have to log out of Robin to reach out to candidates, just as you can do with emails and LinkedIn messages. This saves time from constantly logging in again and also eliminates the costs associated with obtaining an eHerkenning account for all employees.

Get It Done in 15 Minutes
✅ Make sure you have the following information ready!
- Your Chamber of Commerce (KVK) number
- A mobile phone
- A copy of identification of the authorized signatory
- Our KVK number: 68461925

Step 1: Don’t have eHerkenning?
Contact [email protected]. We will send you a step-by-step guide on how to grant a chain authorization without eHerkenning. You won’t need to complete steps 2 and 3.

Step 2: Don’t have a company profile on Werk.nl yet?
1. Log in as an employer on werk.nl.
2. Go to the company profile overview.
3. Click on 'Create Company Profile'.
4. Fill in the company details of your organization and the details of a contact person (e.g., owner or director) at your organization. This should not be Recruit Robin.

⚠ Note: The chain authorization can only be granted by the administrator of the eHerkenning account. If you are not this person, please contact the administrator within your organization.

💡 Tip: If you have multiple BV's (limited liability companies), use the name of the organization that candidates recognize. The name of the BV will be included in the email from werk.nl.

Step 3: Grant Robin a chain authorization to send messages on your behalf to Werk.nl candidates.
To ensure you can approach Werk.nl candidates via Robin, it is important to authorize Robin to send messages to candidates on your behalf.

Note: With this authorization, you are only allowing your actions from Robin to be forwarded to Werk.nl. You are not granting Robin permission to take actions in Werk.nl for other clients.
