Juniors

We employ all kinds of people and profiles at delaware, ranging from commercial engineers to developers and everything in between. We even have an archeologist and historian working in our offices! True: a diploma or degree is important in most cases, but it’s not a deal breaker.

To give you an idea:

• Our functional consultants are usually people with a master in economics, business or engineering, with a specialization in IT, operations & supply chain, data, finance or HR.
• We require our technical consultants to have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in software development, networking & infrastructure, cloud or anything else IT related.

More importantly, however, is that we hire for motivation. If you are genuinely interested in building the bridge between business & IT, then don’t hesitate to apply. We’d love to have a chat with you!

Something to check: Ideally you have already obtained your driver’s license and feel confident enough to hit the Belgian roads with your company car. If you have passed your theoretical exam and are planning to take your practical driving test soon, we can make that work, too. Just tell us!

Whenever you’re ready! Our junior job offers are always online and we'll always consider your application. However, there are some key moments to keep in mind when looking for a job at delaware.

The best moment for you to apply is from February to August, knowing that 80% of our juniors start in the September Analyst Bootcamp. Check out this blog to see how other rookies experienced their first weeks at delaware.

There might be opportunities throughout the rest of the year as well. The amount of open junior positions to start outside of September depends on specific needs and are usually more oriented towards technical profiles. Don’t let that stop you from trying, though!
 

If you send us your application and we see a possible match, one of our recruiters will plan a first introductory call. This is a short, informal phone call to align on what you’re looking for and to discuss the opportunities at delaware at that time being.

If your interests match our needs, your recruiter will plan an HR interview at one of our offices or via Teams (depending on the current corona measures). After that, you’ll have one or two business interviews with managers from the team you’ll end up in. If all goes well, we’ll call one last time to discuss your financial proposal. And hopefully, a couple of weeks later, you’ll be joining delaware as our new colleague!

Keep in mind that we don’t see your application as an elimination race, but rather as a process where we will try to look for the best possible match with you. This means that both you and we can ask for more flexibility if needed.

The application process may look a little different given the current circumstances – think less face-to-face, more digital. If you’re looking for some extra tips on how to prepare for a video call job interview, check out this blog!

The HR interview isn’t a test or an assessment, but rather an informal conversation. Your recruiter will ask about your interests, your match with delaware and consulting. At the end, you’ll discuss together which delaware team or role will be most suited for you.

It’s not just up to us to ask all the questions! The HR interview is supposed to be a two-way street, so we invite you to be curious, open and critical. This is the perfect moment for you to find out if you can see yourself working here.

Your business interview(s) will be with one or two people from the team that you’re applying for. They are the ones that will guide you in your projects once you’ve started at delaware.

The business interview is a moment to talk about your experience, interests, background, internships, school projects,… Some teams decide to do a small technical test, others prefer to stick to an open conversation.

Again, this is the time to ask questions about the team, your potential future colleagues and the projects they work on. Don’t hesitate to put them to the test!

As project consultants, no two days are the same. When you're at one of the delaware offices, you can feel the buzz when you walk through the doors. We work flexibly in open spaces, but have different rooms for your different needs and tasks. In need of a break? There's always some time for small talk at the coffee machine, or people playing a game of foosball at the kicker table.

When you're not at the office, you're working at the customer site. Here you'll work with many different people: your own team members, colleagues from other teams, project managers, stakeholders or even the CEO.

Need help tackling an issue? Something isn’t clear? Typical of the delaware culture is that the #peopleofdelaware are eager to help. If you’re looking for an expert on a particular topic, there's always someone you can connect with.

And finally: what we do is serious business, but we offer plenty of opportunities to blow off steam after hours. Next to our ski trip, Family Day, Starters' Drink or team weekends, you can keep an eye out for informal pizza parties or 'koffiekoeken' on Monday.

To kick off your career at delaware you’ll get a few weeks of small-group training during the Analyst Bootcamp. You’ll not only learn more about consulting in general and the required soft skills, but you’ll also get an introduction to the technical tools we use and implement.

Later in your career, you'll be able to develop yourself both personally and professionally. The delaware Academy is always there to help if you need additional training.

At delaware you’re never on your own. You’ll get a lot of support from your team members, your buddy for daily guidance and your mentor to help take your career to the next level.
