    A decision on both sides

    We discuss openly what we have seen

    After the conversations, we make a careful internal decision and would like to hear how you found the process. We discuss any remaining doubts or questions before either party makes a final decision.

Frequently asked questions

What you may want to know in advance.

Can I send a speculative application?+

Yes. Tell us about the expertise you bring, the kind of work you are looking for and how you would contribute to our combination of compliance, software and growth.

Are all interviews at the office?+

An initial conversation can take place by phone or online. To get to know one another properly, we also value you visiting our Rotterdam office and meeting some potential colleagues.

Will I always receive an assignment or shadowing session?+

No. It depends on the role. If that step adds value, we explain in advance what we ask, how much time it takes and what we hope to learn.

Do I already need compliance expertise?+

It depends on the role. For substantive mid-level positions, yes; for working students and some junior roles, learning ability and motivation carry significant weight.

Can I have an informal call first?+

Of course. Call +31 10 360 28 29 or email hr@decomplianceafdeling.nl.

Can I request an adjustment to the process?+

Yes. If you need an adjustment because of a disability, neurodiversity or another reason, we are happy to explore practical options with you.
