Candidates may be invited for an exploratory interview, possibly with an intermediate organisation. This is more like an opportunity to get to know each other. The atmosphere is somewhere between formal and informal, and based on equality among the discussion partners.
The employer will want you to show that you know about the job conditions, the company and its activities. You will have the opportunity to ask questions too. Use this opportunity to show your motivation and interest in the job, not to ask about the salary.
Questions are mainly related to your experience and your skills. As a result of this interview, your application will either be rejected or you will be invited for a second interview.
A lack of basic information about the company is often one of the main reasons Dutch employers do not invite candidates for a second inter-view or offer them the job. Consult the company's website, read its annual report and try to get a good idea of the sector the company operates in, its latest news and likely changes. This will help to prove your motivation.
The follow-up interviews are in-depth interviews about the context of the position, your problem-solving skills and your experience. Assessments may be used after the first or second interview.
In most cases, you will be informed whether or not you are hired very shortly after the interview.
Dutch employers are increasingly asking for competences together with diplomas or testimonials. Prepare for questions about your competences by practising the so-called STAR method (situation, task, action, result)
