To help us gather a little more information, in order to evaluate if your profile matches our requirements, we will often send a set of pre-selection questions to you by email.
We will also share the date(s) of the interview so you can book them in your calendar, and you will receive a call from our HR team to invite you to the interview – you will then receive an email to confirm all the details.
Come prepared: If you want to prepare yourself, you can take a look through our website and get to know a bit more about what we do and who we are. Make sure to think of 1 or 2 questions you want to ask the interviewing panel during your interview.
Presentation:
During your interview, you will be asked to deliver a 10-minute presentation on a topic related to the position you have applied for. You have complete freedom in how to present the theme, so feel free to choose the format that best suits you.
Using AI Responsibly:
We are aware that you might use AI when applying for this position, and that’s perfectly fine for brainstorming, structuring your ideas, or editing your language. However, please remember that while AI is one of the tools we use at Eurocities, the main tool we rely on here is our brains. This is a content-based position, one that AI cannot perform for you.
Please keep this in mind during the process to avoid disappointment on both sides later. This is why we are basing our recruitment process on a presentation instead of a test. The purpose of this presentation is to showcase your ideas and creativity, not what ChatGPT suggests as the best answers
Interview: We prefer to meet you in person and give you the opportunity to experience the Brussels office atmosphere. If this is not possible, we can easily set up a call on MS Teams.
We will have a conversation during which we will ask you a standard set of questions to further assess your competences for the job. You will have the time to present yourself, explain your motivation to join the Eurocities team, and for the position. We will ask about your experiences and have some questions about your soft skills, such as flexibility, organisation and people skills. Then, you’ll have time to ask questions of your own.
Your future line manager will lead the conversation. They will be joined by normally one or two other members of Eurocities staff, which may include a Director and/or the Head of HR.
Decision: We aim to decide quickly, and would normally be able to let you know the outcome and offer feedback within 5-7 working days.
The standard contract we offer includes the following benefits:
