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.

Fiks Profielen is een functie op Fiks.nl waarmee studenten en pas afgestudeerden een persoonlijk profiel kunnen aanmaken om hun achtergrond, vaardigheden, interesses en voorkeuren voor stages of startersbanen te presenteren. Bedrijven die op zoek zijn naar jong talent kunnen deze profielen eenvoudig bekijken, inclusief contact opties en het direct downloaden van cv’s.

Elk profiel bevat meestal de volgende onderdelen:

1. Persoonlijk Overzicht
   Een korte bio en relevante persoonlijke details, zoals opleidingsachtergrond en voorkeuren qua locatie.
2. Vaardigheden en Ervaring
   Een overzicht van technische en/of zachte vaardigheden, en eerdere werkervaring of projectresultaten.
3. Stage-/Werkvoorkeuren
   Informatie over het type functies, vakgebieden en werkomgevingen waar de kandidaat naar op zoek is, zodat er een goede match ontstaat tussen kandidaat en werkgever.
4. Contact- en Sollicitatiemogelijkheden
   Bedrijven kunnen gemakkelijk contact opnemen, cv’s en portfolio’s downloaden of een kandidaat uitnodigen voor een sollicitatie.

Deze functie maakt het voor jonge professionals eenvoudiger om hun potentie te laten zien, terwijl bedrijven snel en efficiënt geschikte kandidaten voor hun vacatures kunnen vinden.

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 try to make sure that your internship vacancies match our student audience as closely as possible. As soon as companies post a new internship vacancy in the dashboard, we do a standard vacancy check before it goes online. Please read our internship vacancy tips! Bovendien maken we voor iedere vacature een vacaturevideo die we plaatsen op TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube & Facebook. Interesse hierin? Lees onze blog over vacaturevideo’s.

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.

There are a number of standard starting times for internships each year. The majority of students start their internships in September and February, which last about 20 weeks (both graduate and associate internships). There is also a group of students who seek internships for November and April, which is usually a collaborative internship. Finally, there is also a demand for “summer internships”: short cooperative internships during the vacation period.

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.
