A centralized platform with job listings and career resources

ZWconnect

The challenge

The healthcare sector faces a structural challenge in attracting and reaching new talent. Healthcare organizations lack an effective channel to make vacancies visible, while professionals have no central platform to find relevant career opportunities.

Both current staff and potential newcomers receive insufficient support in orientation and development, leading to a mismatch in the labor market and limited inflow. In addition, there is a lack of insight into user behavior on existing platforms, making targeted recruitment and user experience improvement difficult. Harborn and ZWconnect are working together to address these challenges within the healthcare and welfare sector.

Solution

Harborn is developing a platform specifically for the care sector: Zorg en Welzijn Plein. This platform centralizes information about job vacancies and provides resources for career orientation tailored to various subsectors, such as elderly care and hospital care. Integrating websites like Haagse Ouderenzorg and Volg je Hart supports this targeted approach. A Google Looker Studio dashboard offers continuous insights into user behavior, enabling further optimization.

ZWConnect and Harborn

ZWconnect, an employer association for care and welfare, requires a central platform to connect care professionals and organizations. The strategic goal of this partnership is to create a sustainable, centralized platform that strengthens the connection between care organizations and professionals, promotes sector entry, and contributes to the professionalization of care.

Harborn employs a multidisciplinary approach, leveraging expertise in data, design, technology, and communication to develop a platform that meets the needs of both care organizations and professionals.

Strategic value

The platform reduces information fragmentation and increases the visibility of vacancies within the care sector. Through targeted modules and data analysis, the platform strengthens the connection between care organizations and professionals, directly promoting sector entry and the professionalization of care.

Customer Journey

The candidate experience is simplified with an accessible application process and user-friendly tools. Users can quickly find and apply for relevant job vacancies without needing an account. For organizations, the platform provides detailed insights to make their recruitment process more effective and to better target their vacancies to the right audience.

“At Harborn Digital, they collaborate closely and take the initiative to support with their expertise and forward-thinking solutions. We are pleased with the platform, and their commitment truly makes a difference!”

The result

Zorg en Welzijn Plein has had a significant impact on the sector. It facilitates connections between professionals and organizations, resulting in improved recruitment and reduced staffing shortages. Continuous insights from the dashboard allow these results to evolve, benefiting overall sector efficiency.

The collaboration is expanding with the integration of new modules. Plans include extending the platform with additional web environments and features, contributing to the future growth of both ZWconnect and the care sector as a whole.
