Before publishing any vacancy, we make sure that the job advertisement fully reflects the profile of the desired candidate.

Our hiring process consists of a series of clearly-defined steps which begins by identifying a need within the organization, Once the hiring needs are identified, the recruitment process begins by starting with telephone pre-screening and followed by a structured panel interview. Candidates are also invited to participate in a series of practical tests depending on the job for which they are applying. This can range from drafting a document in English and creating an Excel spreadsheet to a role-play on giving feedback or making a presentation on the subject of their choice. Finally, BtH ISSG systematically requests references from its candidates and offers to provide verbal feedback on their performance during the recruitment process if desired. Once onboard, new recruits are supported by our HR Coordinator to help them navigate the challenges of establishing themselves in Belgium and induction training is provided to help them get up to speed with working at BtH ISSG as quickly as possible.
