Vacancies

We always strive to review applications within 3 business days. You can expect an initial response regarding your application within 1 week at the latest.

We always start by thoroughly reviewing your resume (screening) and then call you for an initial introduction. If there’s a good fit, we’ll invite you for an initial interview, during which we’ll introduce you to Merito and ask you about your interests, skills, and ambitions. For certain positions, we may ask you to complete specific tests after this interview. If we are convinced of your candidacy, an offer will follow.

Depending on the position you’re applying for, there will be one or two interviews. We aim to finalize your application within three weeks (screening, interviews, and salary offer).

When you submit your application, we thoroughly review your resume. We’ll then call you to get to know you better through a few targeted questions. We’re also always very interested in your motivation for becoming an HR consultant and where your interest in Hard HR comes from. If we’re on the same page, we’ll invite you for a follow-up interview at our office.

fWe usually schedule two interviews: an initial meeting via Teams, followed by a second interview with our managing partners to discuss test results for example.

The first interview always takes place via Teams. During this initial meeting, we’ll explain how we work. Afterward, it’s up to you to tell us about your interests, skills, and ambitions. For certain positions, we’ll then invite you for additional tests or interviews. This is the case, for example, for our HR consultant openings. At this stage, we’ll also ask you to provide a few references we can contact.

Yes, for some positions you will indeed need to take tests. This is the case, for example, for the position of HR consultant.

All three are taken online. The results of these tests are then discussed during a second interview.

Yes, before we proceed with a salary offer, we request two references whom we may contact.

If we’re convinced you’re the right fit, we’ll be happy to send you an offer. We’ll invite you back to discuss and sign your contract. Shortly after that, you’ll start as a Merito Junior HR Consultant or Senior HR Consultant at one of our clients.

Don’t give up. Keep investing time in applying for open positions or sending unsolicited applications. If you’ve already been in touch with Merito, be sure to stay in contact with us and let us know when you see a job opening that interests you. It’s also a good idea to keep your LinkedIn profile up to date. Add new experience and make sure your contact information is correct at all times. Ensure that Merito always has the most accurate information. That way, we can suggest the most suitable jobs or assignments to you.
