The worst recruitment process I've had in years. I have applied in November and my first interview was scheduled at the beginning of December. Overall, the recruiter was very friendly and nice, I’ve sincerely enjoyed our cooperation. However, the company has turned out to be highly unprofessional and here’s why. I have successfully passed 2 stages of the process (which took around 2 months). During the second stage of the recruitment process, I was abroad intending to move to the Netherlands in a couple of weeks. Having discussed my planned date of arrival to the Netherlands over email, I was assured that this won’t have any impact on the final decisions and that the date of my arrival works for them perfectly. Before my arrival in the Netherlands, I have received a confirmation that I have successfully passed the second stage of the process. Therefore, the recruiter asked me to share the suitable dates to come to Amsterdam for the in-person interview. Unfortunately, my emails were ignored. 2 weeks after my arrival and the planned date of the interview, after 3 unanswered emails, the company has contacted me to inform that “they needed someone faster”, so they’ve decided to hire another person. I sincerely hope that you treat your current employees better than the potential ones. As a hiring manager, I have never faced something like this in my entire career.

It was for half a day, so a fairly long process. It covered lots of different things, including interview, walk around and team tasks. Follow up interview on a different day
