I applied for a position in the Netherlands and was contacted twice by phone to provide personal information. After supplying all requested details, I was later asked to complete an additional form containing similar information, without clear justification. During the process, I requested clarification on fundamental employment terms, including salary range, contract type, vacation entitlement, and relocation support. These questions were not answered in a transparent or concrete manner. Communication was handled via phone calls and SMS rather than written correspondence, and after requesting clarification by email, I was informed by SMS that I would not be invited to interview. Based on this experience, I consider the recruitment process unprofessional, lacking transparency, and not aligned with standard professional hiring practices.

Discussion with the talent acquisition partner, then a teams interview (informal) with the head of AI to determine if there were any appropriate roles for me. The company is going through some restructuring, so it was decided that there wasn't anything appropriate at the moment.
