I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at bol in May 2026
Interview
Een videogesprek met de recruiter en vervolgens een interview met twee zeer ongeïnteresseerde hiring managers die meer leken op overgediplomeerde projectmanagers die zich voordeden als procesingenieurs. En drie dagen later ontving ik een e-mail waarin stond dat ik met andere kandidaten verder was gegaan.

Question 1
- Tell us about what your have done in your past projects
- what aspect of a project do you not like?
- how do you handle multiple projects, how do you deal with stress?
I applied online. I interviewed at bol (Utrecht) in Feb 2026
Interview
Process was made up of 3 sections. 1st a short call with HR about introduction and salary expectation plus current situation questions.
Second interview was with direct manager online, going through CV and experience. They introduced the structure at Bol and what the job is fully and asked questions related to it -> Technical and Strategical about my current job, such as what do I do? What is my day to day like? How do I handle x,y,z situation? Where do I think I would struggle the most? What are things my colleagues would say about me both positive and negative.
3rd interview would have been face to face with at least 2 team members and would have been a purely technical assesment working on a dataset analysing it, however I did not make it to the 3rd round due to lack of knowledge with CRMs (they use Selligent)
Een kennismakingsgesprek, twee uitgebreide gesprekken, een psychologische test en een cognitieve test. Het plannen en toelichten van de verschillende stappen ging slordig en chaotisch. Er waren verkeerde inplanningen en last-minute veranderingen. Ik had steeds andere contactpersonen die onderling niet met elkaar communiceerden.

Question 1
Het was een zeer open gesprek wat vooral vloeiend liep. Het was niet duidelijk georganiseerd in vragen.
