About the Recruitment Process
Selection takes place in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters at the HR department who invite candidates to a phone interview. Subsequently, the hiring manager makes a second selection of the applicants and invites them to an interview at the clinic.
We use competency-based interviews, which means that answers to questions should be based on factual situations. It is important that you describe situations as concretely as possible and try to avoid generalized answers – this is so that we can understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the result was.
