Recruitment Procedure – How can you prepare for a long life together?

The selection procedure exists out of 2 interview rounds and an assessment

After we have received and selected your CV, a short telephone introduction will follow. Then you make an online assessment in your own time. After completing the assessment, we will schedule your first interview, which will take place with the Recruiter and someone from the team. In case of a positive outcome of the first interview, a second (and also last) interview will be scheduled with other members of the team.

Due to laws and regulations, and because EY (and in some cases its clients) has high demands on the reliability and integrity of its employees, every new employee will be screened. Depending on your rank the pre-employment screening could contain the following: Certificate of Conduct (in Dutch: VOG) or - if requesting a Dutch VOG is not possible - Criminal Background Check of the country you are currently living or have lived during the last five years, integrity questionnaire, verification of ID, diploma’s and/or work experience and consultation of the Dutch insolvency registry.
