Overview

VDAB Vacature is the Flemish public employment service’s official job posting API. Connecting it to Spott lets you publish openings directly to vdab.be from your recruitment workflow.

​
How it works

Once connected, you publish job postings from Spott straight to vdab.be:
  1. An admin connects your workspace to VDAB Vacature with your organization’s Supplier ID, username, and password.
  2. When posting a job, select VDAB Vacature as a distribution channel. Your posting is sent to vdab.be as an HR-XML Position Opening.
Applications that come in through VDAB return to your Spott pipeline the same way as other multiposting channels.
VDAB enforces a 4,000 character limit on job descriptions, and the count includes the text formatting (HTML), not just the visible text. If you hit the limit with a shorter description, simplify the formatting (fewer nested lists and styles) or shorten the text.

​
Configure

Go to Settings → Integrations → VDAB Vacature, click Enable, and enter your VDAB Supplier ID, username, and password.
Only workspace admins can enable this integration. If you don’t see this option, contact your workspace admin.
