The recruiter got in touch two months after I applied. I asked about the place of work but she ignored my questions, just saying to take the assessment first. The test was from TestGorilla and lasted 50 minutes. But it was more than 1 hour and a half. In addition to taking time to respond, there is no way to pause and I had to do it at the weekend. It seems to be fashionable for recruiters to use these tools that say practically nothing about the candidate. In my case, I'm not a native English and I'm not European. So totally meaningless. Many tests are for Westerners. outdated selection method and I feel discriminated against taking the test. For those looking for diversity and inclusion, this company is not a good option. In the end I received an email informing me that they would not proceed with my application. But I will definitely no longer apply to companies that only ask to take tests without providing any information about the position.

I applied online at Catawiki. The procedure included a selection test and two interviews. The first interview was with a recruiter and included more general questions, the second interview was with two team leads and had more specialized questions as well as scenarios that I had to answer / find a solution for. Everybody was very welcoming and friendly, which I really appreciated. This also made the atmosphere during the interviews nice and less tense. The whole process from applying to receiving the offer was also quite fast, it only took a few weeks and was pretty smooth.
