Wanted recruitment process, step by step

Our main concern at Wanted is to always respond to the needs of each candidate that comes to us. So, we try our best to find the right placement for all of you.

Wanted is present in 6 European countries as a credible and experienced recruitment agency. One of the reasons for our reputation is the transparency we are known for when dealing with candidates.

Here’s an explanation of our selection process for you to start a new job with us soon.

1. Send us your CV

You can apply via email: [email protected]

Or through our website https://job.teamwanted.nl  

We strive to respond as quickly as possible. Current response time is between 1 to 3 days.

After receiving your CV, we will contact you to know more about your professional profile (see CV preparation tips).

2. Upload your CV to our database

Once we gathered all the information about your experience, we will save it in our database, with your consent. This way your information is secured and accessible by our entire team of recruiters who can contact you for future opportunities.

3. Placement

When your profile matches one of our vacancies, we will contact you to inform you about the project and understand your interest in the job.

If you confirm, we will move your application forward in the recruitment process and wait for further approvals.

4. Client approval

Once we have the complete information about your professional profile, we submit your CV to our clients, for their approval.

Clients’ response time varies, but as soon as we have an answer from them, we will inform you either way.

Even if you weren’t accepted for that project, we will find you a different opportunity.

5. Candidate Integration

If you were approved to join the project, we will take care of all the logistics so you can start the new professional challenge in a calm and positive way.

Frequently, it is necessary to take an online induction test, usually before travelling. However, in some cases the induction test will be done on site (after travelling).

The induction test must be done on a computer.

Before taking the test, we will share the necessary study materials with you.

All this will be communicated to you in advance.

Logistics our team handles for you:

✈️ Flight Booking

🏠 Accommodation

🚶 Airport pick-up by one of our colleagues

📝 Sharing all the necessary documentation (contract and additional information about the client)

📜Arranging for any training or certification required by the client, for example getting your VCA certificate.

6. Post-hiring follow-up

Depending on the country of your destination, you will need to get some paperwork done, to legally work in that country, for example getting a local tax number.

Wanted is very rigorous in complying with the labor legislation and making sure our candidates don’t get any unpleasant surprise. Therefore, we will support you with all of that. Check out these articles if you are planning to work in Belgium or the Netherlands.

After you reach the destination, your recruiter will pass your contact details to the local account manager who can help you in any situation. Including providing you with the safety equipment and uniform.

Nevertheless, our recruitment team, with whom you made the initial contact, is always available at a distance.
