I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NWO (The Hague) in Mar 2025
Interview
Twee gesprekken; eerste was met team lid en talent manager, tweede gesprek was met twee talent managers en hoofd IT. Bij selectie zou nog een AV gesprek plaatsvinden. Ik miste bij het tweede gesprek de persoon die de rol tot heden vervulde en er was weinig tijd om inhoudelijk op de rol in te gaan. Ik kreeg als sollicitant onvoldoende inzicht in de rol, wel voldoende inzicht over de organisatie en of ik daar bij zou passen. Ik zou na 3 dagen terugkoppeling krijgen maar kreeg dat niet op de genoemde dag moest zelf informeren naar uitkomst.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NWO (Haag)
Interview
I had a first and second interview, both took around 1h and there were 3 (different) people from different teams interviewing me in each. Before the first interview, they sent a short presentation of the company. The first interview was mainly about why I wanted to work in this role, and they had questions about my background and experiences. For the second interview I had to prepare a 5 minutes presentation on a case that they emailed you beforehand, and afterwards also similar questions from the employees. The colleagues were very friendly and polite, I received feedback on why I wasn't hired and was encouraged to apply again in the future.

Question 1
Why do you see yourself in this specific role, what tasks from the job description are you the most interested in, how does your background reflect on why you would be a good fit for the role.
They book flights and hotel. The interview is nicely organized and I felt very welcomed. It is standard to do a presentation for the interview. Then, some technical questions will be asked. They care a lot if the candidate is really motivated
