You'll be contacted by Randstad first. Then, there's a phone interview, followed by a remote interview. After that, you'll have an interview with your potential supervisor (remotely). Sometimes, if your supervisor isn't your department head, there's another interview with the department head. All interviews except the first one (which is a basic filter) include a segment where you speak English. They'll also ask about your studies or experience and really value your social skills.

The interview is split into two parts. First, an HR part will cover your background, motivations, and cultural fit. This part helps them understand your career aspirations and values. Second, a technical part will assess your practical skills with specific questions or exercises relevant to the job. The manager might also go over real-life scenarios to test your problem-solving skills and work methods. Lastly, there will be a Q&A session about your questions, job expectations, and career growth.
