- we try to adapt to your preferences
let’s talk talent
At delaware, we don’t just check boxes, we take our time to really get to know the candidate as a person. Because, for us, talent is all about potential. We believe every candidate is different and has an array of skills and abilities that can be further developed over time. It’s also up to us to help you discover and unlock your full potential. In fact, delaware offers a raft of learning & development programs that enable the #peopleofdelaware to become the best possible version of themselves.
P.S. We consider talent broadly and welcome people with different backgrounds. So, whether you live in Belgium/Luxembourg or not, we make things work either way. That’s also why we expect all (potential) #peopleofdelaware to speak English fluently. Dutch and/or French proficiency, a specific degree or a certain set of skills can be required for specific roles and are always indicated in the respective vacancy.
our recruiter is your trusted advisor
Throughout the entire process, your dedicated recruiter will be your guide and sparring partner alike. The recruiter is always available for a chat to discuss potential questions or possible concerns. By the way, one of our core values is respect. That’s why they will make every effort to provide you with the necessary feedback and communication in a timely manner.
a human approach
It’s fair to say that we prioritize a personal approach when it comes to hiring talent. That also means that we’re quite flexible when it comes to the recruitment procedure. We always try to adapt the process to our mutual needs and agendas. For example, even though our recruiters love calling, we know not everyone shares their passion. If you’d rather keep in touch over email, that’s equally fine for us. You can proactively tell us what you prefer. We’re keen to hear all about it!
we try to adapt to your preferences
We prioritize engaging in conversation. Sharing delaware’s story with you is as important as listening to yours. We think that’s the only way we can find out if delaware can offer what you’re looking for. And, above all, we are very committed to finding talent that matches our mindset and culture. Although we try to limit testing and assessments in our recruitment process as much as possible, some teams do prefer to shortly evaluate current competency levels and identify growth potential from the very beginning.

Q&A
-
There are many elements we consider, like previous experiences, education and our values. But no two people are alike, and also every application is different. Our main aim is to get to know you as well as possible so we can assess how well you match with our company culture and our values.
-
No, you don’t. You can include it if you believe your CV could use extra explaining, but it’s not a necessity. If we see a first match based on background, we expect to get to know you better during the personal moments.
-
You can, although we believe in quality over quantity. If you're doubting, we recommend applying for one or two vacancies that best match you.
If you have an interest in other positions, best inform your recruiter about this straight away. In some cases, candidates who apply for one role may be better suited to another. If this is the case, and you are in agreement, we can explore that option (too). -
We don’t right now. We use the right tools for the right processes, and so far, we still feel that the human approach throughout the recruitment process is the right way forward.
As an innovative tech company, we do invest a lot in AI across our internal processes and in customer projects. But when it comes to the recruitment process for new #peopleofdelaware, we keep it human.
-
When you send in your CV, we will provide you with an answer in maximum 2 weeks. The full length of your total application is difficult to say, because we believe in a flexible and highly personal process. Importantly: we aim to provide clarity on timing and next steps throughout the complete process, but this varies from one position another.
Know that we will keep you informed of where we are within the process. You can also always reach out to your delaware recruiter and ask for an update.

The next step would be additional conversations will follow with relevant people in the team, who will assess your expertise and match with our company culture and values.
If the combined feedback is positive, we can discuss a concrete career proposal including your personal benefits & rewards.
When we reach an agreement, we can together plan the start of your exciting new adventure at delaware. -

-
We don’t use standard testing for every function, although some jobs do require additional testing. If that is the case, this will be mentioned by your dedicated recruiter.
-
Yes, you will have the chance to talk to different #peopleofdelaware. By talking with the Team Lead, you’ll get a better understanding of the job and the team you may become part of. Depending on the type of position, additional talks with team members are also possible.
-
The final hiring decision is a joint effort, based on combined feedback from the recruiter, the Team Lead, the Solution Lead, and possibly other team members and/or other involved #peopleofdelaware.
-
It is, either by mail or phone. If you have additional questions about that, you can also reach out to your recruiter for more information.
Yes, you can reapply. Not having a good match for a job opening today does not exclude a better match in the future. Maybe you can enter our talent community to stay updated on new job opportunities?
