}Search the live Dutch job catalogue for openings matching the given criteria. Use this when the user wants to find jobs by role, location, salary, contract type, remote/onsite preference, or education level. Each result carries an `id` you can pass to `get_job` for the full record. Pagination metadata (`page`, `totalPages`, `total`) is included so the client can decide whether to fetch the next page.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| page | integer | 1-based page index. Combine with 'limit' for pagination. |
| sort | string | Sort order. 'relevance' weighs the query, 'date' is freshness, 'distance' requires 'location', 'popularity' weighs view count. |
| limit | any | Number of results to return. Capped at 25 to keep responses compact; use pagination for more. |
| query | string | Free-text keywords. Optional; if omitted, returns the most recent jobs matching the other filters. |
| category | array | Filter by job category (the on-site 'Vakgebied' filter). Multi-select. Dutch values, e.g. 'Automatisering/Internet' (IT), 'Medisch/Zorg' (medical/care), 'Marketing/PR/Communicatie'. |
| distance | string | Search radius in kilometres around the given location. Use 'city' for an exact city match or '0' for nationwide (500 km). |
| industry | array | Filter by industry (the on-site 'Branche' filter). Multi-select. Dutch values, e.g. 'ICT', 'Gezondheidszorg/Welzijn', 'Onderwijs/Opleiding'. |
| location | string | Dutch city, municipality, or province name. Combined with 'distance' for radius search. |
| postedBy | string | Filter by who posted the listing. 'direct_employer_and_media_bureau' = direct employer, 'human_resource_manager' = third-party recruiter. Omit to include both. |
| salaryMin | number |
| Minimum gross monthly salary in euros. Discrete steps: 0, 1500, 2500, 3500, 5000, 7000. |
| careerLevel | array | Filter by career level. Multi-select. Dutch values: 'Geen ervaring' (no experience), 'Starter', 'Ervaren' (experienced), 'Leidinggevend' (manager), 'Senior management', 'Directie' (board). |
| contractType | array | Filter by contract type. Multi-select. Dutch labour-market values: 'Vast' (permanent), 'Tijdelijk' (temporary), 'Freelance', 'ZZP' (self-employed), 'Stage' (internship), etc. |
| workingPlace | array | Filter by work arrangement. 'remote' = work from home only, 'hybrid' = mixed, 'onsite' = office only. |
