I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Robert Walters (Amsterdam) in Aug 2021
Interview
Eerst moest ik een soort assesment over persoonlijkheid en gedrag maken, maar daar hoefde ik niet voor te oefenen.
Toen had ik een videocall met de recruiter en daarna had ik een gesprek met de manager.
Er zou nog een gesprek met de directeur en een business case volgen maar zo ver kwam ik helaas niet.

First interview was good. Interviewer was professional and informative. Second interview however was a bit off. It was with a Senior Recruiter. The interviewer was a few minutes late, spoke quickly as if in a hurry. Made a puzzled look everytime I answer as if I everything I said didn't make sense even though my answers still relate to the questions. Not sure if it's part of his recruitment tactic to test resilience/adaptability. Made a lot of statements as if to highlight my lack of compatibility to the job.
Professional process, I got to interview and received lots of insight about the industry, the benefits and challenges for the job from the hiring managers and the Country Manager. Everyone seems to be very decent, polite and thoughtful people.

Question 1
What is your career trajectory for the next 5 years?
The interview process was good overall. I first had an interview with the HR department, followed by a second interview with the director of the department I applied for. I had good conversations with both of them, and their answers were very clear and honest when I asked questions. However, since I came from a different industry, I decided to return to my previous field instead of challenging myself with a completely new one
