applying via NRG-Office

What is the benefit of applying through NRG-Office and not directly at the client itself?

When you apply through NRG-Office for a job at one of our clients, we will guide you through the application process. If there is no match, we can look further into our network for you, and possibly help you find another job that does match your interests and skills.

What is the Recruiters role in the application process?

We guide you throughout the application process. This means that we are the contact person for both parties. In addition, we know our clients and the vacancies, so we can help you prepare for the job interview and give you advice. In short, we are an independent intermediary with who you can share all your possible questions and doubts without judgment.

Will I be under contract with NRG-Office or with the organization itself?

When you apply directly to a job opening at one of our clients, you will receive a contract from the client. We are there to guide you through the application process.

Is it possible to work part-time with your clients?

The number of hours of the vacancy is stated in the job post. When it is possible to work part-time, it is mentioned in the vacancy.

Could you advise me on terms of employment based on my experience?

We have extensive knowledge of the labor market and are pleased to think with you about suitable employment conditions. Feel free to contact one of our Recruiters!

Do I have input on the information shared about me with the client?

Based on your resume and your introduction to us, we will introduce you to the client. What we share is always agreed together.

Why is there another introduction interview after the phone call?

We find it important to get to know you well. In the telephone conversation we briefly discuss the qualifications. In the introductory meeting (via Teams) we will discuss the position in more detail and get to know you better. From here we'll see if the position can be a suitable step for you.
