01 / WHY IT MATTERS

DATA AS PUBLIC EVIDENCE

Reports should prove the data, not decorate it.

The first published study asks a narrow question the underlying evidence can answer: how often do Dutch metal-sector employers with an own-site opening appear on two major job channels under strict matching rules? Broader salary, outlook and shortage reports remain gated until coverage and longitudinal evidence support them.

01What research is live now?

The first published report is a strict n=174 study of Dutch metal-sector employer visibility on Indeed and Nationale Vacaturebank, with a separate LinkedIn recruiting-activity check.

02Does the report prove that 79.9% of Dutch vacancies are off job boards?

No. It measures employer presence in one defined metal-sector sample on two channels. The report explicitly rejects a national all-job-board interpretation.

03Can I request a provider-specific overlap study?

Yes. Provide the provider or channel, geography, category and date window. The team will confirm whether current source evidence can support a transparent matched comparison.

04How is this different from general labor statistics?

The intended report layer focuses on observed public vacancies across the overlooked blue-collar web. It complements, rather than replaces, official employment and labor-force statistics.

THE SOURCE STRATEGY

The blue-collar jobs hidden in plain sight.

Most job datasets are strongest around major boards and standard ATS footprints. Blue Collar Job Data uses a purpose-built research and web-indexing system to surface hard-to-find public blue-collar job pages, especially from small and specialist employers.

79.9%

of 174 sampled Dutch metal employers with an own-site opening were found on neither Indeed nor Nationale Vacaturebank under the study rules.

Read the visibility studyOther providers may collect some of the same employer pages. The difference is focus: this overlooked source layer is our starting point, not a residual category inside a broad index.
