If an employer wants to bring a job posting to the extra attention of job seekers, they can choose to add one or more add-ons to the job posting. Fiks offers a choice of four different add-ons:

Featured Vacancy

The employer's job posting will appear on the first page of Fiks with a "Featured Vacancy" add-on. As a result, job seekers will be among the first to come across the vacancy. On average, there are about 400+ job postings online at Fiks. With this add-on, the employer ensures that the job is at least noticed for one month. The "Featured Vacancy" add-on normally costs $189, but is available for $89 when purchased at the time of posting the job.

WhatsApp Boost

Vacancies posted online at Fiks are forwarded to relevant students via WhatsApp. This is included for every job posting on Fiks. With the "WhatsApp Boost" add-on, it is possible to forward the vacancy again via WhatsApp. This will bring the vacancy to the attention of relevant students once again. A "WhatsApp Boost" add-on normally costs 169,- euro, but is available for 69,- euro when purchased while posting the vacancy.

LinkedIn Share

Fiks is the platform for students. In recent years we have built a following of 15k+ students on LinkedIn. With the "LinkedIn Share" add-on it is possible to activate this following for a vacancy. For 149,- euros the vacancy is shared via LinkedIn with our followers. When it is purchased while posting the job you pay only 49,- euro.

Email Spotlight

In recent years we have helped more than 10,000 students. In addition to WhatsApp messages, students also receive emails from Fiks regarding internships and job searches. With the "Email Spotlight" add-on, the vacancy is highlighted in every email sent to students for the next three months. The "Email Spotlight" add-on normally costs 139,- euro, but is available for 39,- euro while posting your job. 

Google for Jobs is a new product from Google. It allows jobs from certain job boards to be easily found in the search engine.

Fiks is built in order for the jobs loaded on our platform to also be easily and immediately accessible for Google for Jobs. This means that your jobs will not only show up on Fiks but also rank in Google. This provides more exposure to students.

For companies that are in a Partner or Corporate subscription, it is now possible to approach students themselves. This feature is called "Find Students" and is available in the dashboard.

So in addition to students applying for jobs, Find Students allows you to view resumes of relevant candidates and, as a company, make initial contact.

At Fiks, after several years, we know exactly what a good internship vacancy looks like. We've seen hundreds of jobs come through. Some look great and do well, but some don't. That's why we go to work on every internship vacancy.

We proberen ervoor te zorgen dat jullie stagevacatures zo goed mogelijk aansluiten bij onze studenten doelgroep. Zodra bedrijven een nieuwe stagevacature plaatsen in het dashboard, doen wij standaard de vacature-check voordat deze online gaat. Lees hier alvast onze stagevacature tips!

We see a mismatch between diligent students who start searching early for their internship and companies who give priority to putting their vacancies online much later. We are trying to solve this through our annual package to create more and better connections.

Based on our research, we know that students search during different periods. When your job posting is only online for one month, you miss a significant portion of potential employees. As a compromise, we tried to keep prices relatively low.

In addition, you will receive a standard company page on our website to reach students all year round. This strengthens your employer branding and is an opportunity to receive open applications from good students, regardless of whether you already have your internship assignment outstanding.

The short answer to this: Fiks is not responsible for the quality of the student. Despite operating with a "no cure, no pay" option, Fiks is not a recruitment agency or employment agency. Fiks is a job board or job platform that provides employers' job postings with greater exposure to relevant job seekers. This enables employers to fill vacancies faster. However, the responsibility of the selection process lies with the employer itself. Fiks is not in this process and does not manage the relationship between employers and job seekers. 

Should a person perform poorly or not match with the company after he or she is hired, Fiks will not refund placement fees. The company chooses after their own selection process that the candidate is suitable for the internship, part time job or entry level position and therefore we will not refund placement fees.

Er zijn per jaar een aantal standaard startmomenten van stages. Het merendeel van de studenten begint in september en februari aan hun stage die ongeveer 20 weken duurt (zowel afstudeerstage als meewerkstage). Daarnaast is er ook een groep studenten die voor november en april een stage zoekt, wat meestal een meewerkstage betreft. Ten slotte is er ook vraag naar ‘summer internships’: korte meewerkstages tijdens de vakantieperiode.

Based on our research, we know that the first students start searching about half a year before the start of the internship. All in all, this ensures that students are looking for an internship at any time of the year.
