Manage vacancies without duplicate entry
Keeping vacancy text in two places makes discrepancies easy to miss. A location or closing date may have changed in AFAS while the website still shows the old value. The integration handles these updates for you.
AFAS becomes the source for the fields your recruitment team manages there. Additional website content can remain in WordPress, so automated updates do not have to overwrite editorial additions.
Publish the right vacancy at the right time
We map available AFAS data to the vacancy page, such as the job title, description, location and employment type. The presentation fits your WordPress website.
New, changed and closed vacancies are handled separately. We also define what happens when AFAS is temporarily unavailable, so the website does not unintentionally remove vacancies.
- Publish new vacancies automatically.
- Process changes and closures from AFAS.
- See when the last synchronisation ran and where errors occurred.
Connect your existing AFAS and WordPress setup
We coordinate the technical connection with your AFAS administrator and review how vacancies are structured on your website. Your recruitment team does not have to program fields or API connections.
In a test environment, we review how a vacancy arrives, changes and closes. Your team checks the content and presentation before the integration updates the live website.
Keep candidates informed
Want to notify visitors when a suitable vacancy appears? We can add vacancy alerts based on saved candidate preferences, such as the type of role or location.
Sending applications back to AFAS is another possible extension. We separately assess which details and attachments are transferred and how receipt is confirmed. Vacancy publishing and application processing can then each be tested thoroughly.
What does an AFAS-WordPress integration cost?
The main cost factors are the available AFAS connection, the number of fields and the structure of the vacancy pages. Additional websites, languages, vacancy alerts and application processing require further development.
We prepare a proposal for the features your recruitment team needs, including testing and installation. You can start with automatic vacancy publishing and add more features later.

We developed an integration that publishes AFAS vacancies on WordPress and alerts candidates based on their preferences. The case shows how vacancy publishing and reaching interested candidates work together.
Frequently asked questions
Are AFAS changes updated automatically?
Yes, for the fields included in the integration. Together we choose how often the website updates and which additional information you want to manage in WordPress.
Can candidates receive vacancy alerts?
Yes. Candidates can save their preferences and receive alerts for matching vacancies. We can add this feature to the vacancy integration.
Will applications reach AFAS too?
We can investigate that as a separate extension. Applications require different fields, permissions and processing from publishing vacancies. We explain what is needed in advance.
Does our website need a new design?
Not if the current vacancy pages are suitable. We fit the integration to your existing website and discuss any changes needed to fields, filters or presentation.
