We talked about my previous experience and interests, as well as my qualifications and desired salary. The recruiter was very friendly, answered all my questions, and provided all the important information. I felt well taken care of and excited about the process, with the feeling that they are focused on finding a suitable position for me.

The process was pretty simple, only 3 steps. First, there was an online application where I had to answer 4 scenario questions. Then, an online interview. Finally, a group assessment centre. It was a very straightforward process and you can ask for feedback. Also, very transparent.
