Finding an operator with Jobby
- Why searching takes time. An operator sets up machines, monitors the process, and intervenes in the event of malfunctions. This requires technical insight and a sense of responsibility, often within a shift system, and experienced operators are sought after by multiple companies simultaneously. On JobFunders, there are over 1,000 vacancies open for operators in Flanders (surveyed in September 2026): you are therefore competing with many other employers for the same people.
- Typical regimes. Three-shift or continuous operation with weekend rotation, day shift for changeovers, and roles as team leader for experienced operators.
- This is how Jobby helps. Jobby searches talent pools of 260,000+ profiles 24/7 and also activates passive candidates who do not respond to vacancies. The first SMS invitations are sent within 2 minutes of activation; you will see your first candidates within 48 hours. If you set "experience with injection molding" as a must-have, you will only receive operators who know that process. And because Jobby also activates passive candidates, you reach operators who are currently working in shifts at another company.
- Minimum wage. The applicable minimum wage depends on your company's joint committee. You can find the amounts in the Minimum wage database of the FPS Employment.
- Fair price. An annual subscription of €1,500 (Solo) to €6,000 (Scale) with a match guarantee, or €100 per approved candidate. A free ATS is included and there are no selection fees.
- And compared to interim? As a market average, a traditional interim agency charges a coefficient of approximately 2.10 on the gross salary for the duration of the interim period. If you still wish to start on an interim basis, Jobby finds and screens the candidate, and you work via payroll for an interim partner at a market-average coefficient of approximately 1.60. These are estimates: adjust them with your figures in the recruitment cost calculator. If you need operators who are immediately available on very short notice, an interim agency can be the right choice.
