Traditional job vacancy sites are losing ground to social media for Dutch jobseekers, research company Intelligence Group reported on Wednesday.

There is no shortage of job vacancy companies, web sites and apps in the Netherlands for job seekers. But when queried about their favourite online job sites, a group of about 15,000 people in employment named Indeed (16%) and LinkedIn (13%) as the best sources for jobs.

Jobs website NationaleVacaturebank was in third place, mentioned by 9% of respondents, but this is down 25% on the previous survey.

In 2015, LinkedIn was the overall most popular site, but in 2016 Indeed registered 48% growth over the year while LinkedIn fell back by 6%. Facebook attracted 5% more jobseekers last year.

Both hope for improved popularity this year. LinkedIn has redesigned its jobs vacancy section and Facebook has added features to attract people seeking jobs.
