Our process
Applying for a full-time position
The process for full-time candidates consists of several standard components. Additionally, we tailor the process to each candidate to ensure the right decision is made on both sides. This may include a case study, an informal lunch, or spending part of a day with the team. The process is designed to be as efficient as possible, with an average duration of 2 to 4 weeks.
Step by step
Our application process for full-time job openings
Are you applying for one of our Engineering roles? For a full-time position, you’re in the right place. For part-time roles, check the page for working students. The difference is that there are no assessments; instead, a developer joins the interview to evaluate your skills verbally.
1. Applying via the website
First, you answer a number of questions, and you upload your CV. We do not work with the standard motivation letter. Have you already written one? Not to worry, you can still add it!
2. Contact by phone
After the first check, we call you to ask some additional questions. This way, we get a better picture of you, what is important to you in a job or a company, and how you see your future, for example. After this, we decide if you will be invited for a first job interview.
3. The job interview
The first interview is mainly about a mutual introduction, and the match with our core values. This interview will often be with 2 colleagues from the Recruitment & Selection team, and will last about 60 minutes. We will not go in depth about the job.
4. An assessment
There are a few tests in the process that we choose for the job opening. Consider an ability test for an analytical role, or conversational skills test for a social role. The outcome will be considered for an addition to the full picture, but will never be a determining factor in itself.
5. An in-depth conversation
Is there a mutual connection? Then we will go more in depth about the match with the work and the team in the second interview, often with a colleague from the team that you are applying for. Here, you can ask all of your substantive questions about the job. We will also go more in depth about possible doubts or unspoken points from the first interview.
6. Discussing terms of employment
We believe it is important that you are happy with the terms of empployment , but our expectations have to be aligned. Sometimes this is already handled during the job interview, but you can always take the time to consider this. For the final interview, we have to be sure that this is clear from both sides.
7. Interview with a more experienced colleague
The final check to make sure that we have the correct match, is a final interview. This could be with Jeroen or Jeroen, the founders of Belsimpel, or with another experienced colleague. This can also be in a more informal setting, during a lunch, or a small get together. Here we will also discuss other questions that might have risen from our side.
8. The proposal to start working with us
Is everyone excited? Then we will call you to inform you that we would love to have you on board! After that, you will receive an email with a written proposal of what you exactly will do here, together with the terms of employment that fit your situation. Once you have indicated that you want to join our company, we will make sure that you can get to work as soon as possible!
