    Introduction: The future of job searching is here

    We are proud to launch Vacant Chat - a groundbreaking way to search for jobs. Instead of endlessly scrolling through lists and setting filters, candidates can now simply have a conversation with our AI assistant to find the perfect job.

    Try it yourself: chat.vacant.nl

    What is Vacant Chat?

    Vacant Chat is an AI-powered conversational interface that fundamentally changes how people search for jobs. Candidates can describe what they're looking for in natural language:

    • "I'm looking for a marketing position in Amsterdam with remote work options"
    • "What IT jobs are available for someone with 3 years of Python experience?"
    • "I want something in healthcare, part-time, Utrecht area"

    The AI understands context, asks follow-up questions when needed, and presents the most relevant vacancies from our complete network of 10 job boards.

    Why Vacant Chat is great for candidates

    1. Natural and intuitive

    No more complex search forms. Just talk like you would with a recruiter. The AI understands nuance:

    • "Something creative but stable"
    • "Not too far from Eindhoven"
    • "Preferably at a scale-up"

    2. Smarter matches

    The AI looks beyond keywords. It understands:

    • Synonyms and related positions
    • Career paths and growth opportunities
    • Company culture indicators
    • Implicit preferences

    3. Time-saving

    Instead of hours of searching, you get a personalized selection of relevant vacancies that truly match you within minutes.

    4. Discover hidden opportunities

    The AI can suggest jobs you hadn't thought of yourself, but that perfectly align with your skills and preferences.

    Why Vacant Chat is great for employers

    1. Better candidate matching

    Candidates who apply through Vacant Chat have made a more conscious choice. They better understand what the position entails because they've had a conversation about it.

    Result: Higher quality applications and fewer mismatches.

    2. Greater reach

    Vacant Chat searches all our 10 specialized job boards simultaneously:

    • Vacant.nl
    • Bouwvacatures.nl
    • Techniekvacaturebank.nl
    • ICTvacatures.nl
    • Officevacatures.nl
    • Logistiekevacatures.nl
    • Overheidvacatures.nl
    • Gezondheidzorgvacatures.nl

    Your vacancy is found by candidates who previously might not have searched on your specific platform.

    3. Modern candidate experience

    By embracing Vacant Chat, you show that your organization is innovative. This particularly attracts young, tech-savvy candidates.

    4. 24/7 availability

    Candidates can search and get information at any time of day. The AI is always available, even outside office hours.

    How it works: technology behind Vacant Chat

    Vacant Chat combines multiple advanced technologies:

    Natural Language Processing (NLP) Understands the intent behind questions, even when informally phrased.

    Semantic Search Searches by meaning, not just exact words. "Developer" also finds "Programmer" and "Software Engineer".

    Contextual Memory Remembers earlier parts of the conversation. "Are there also part-time options?" is understood in the context of the previously discussed position.

    Real-time data Searches current vacancies from all connected platforms.
