The interviews are conducted in panel. A Selection Committee interviews the shortlisted candidates from the previous phase.

The interviews usually take place where the job is located.

Candidates invited for tests or an interview by EUROCONTROL are asked to come with the following documents:

Assessment centre tests are a method of assessing human abilities, mainly on the basis of observation of behaviour. They involve a process in which you are evaluated individually by several assessors, who use a set of techniques for this purpose.

Assessment centre tests involve various practical simulations, all of which take place in the context of a fictitious business, which becomes your "real world" for the duration of the evaluation.

In these simulations you are confronted with situations connected with your future post (for example a problem, a new opportunity, etc.) which you must deal with as you think best on the basis of your experience. During this time, you will be observed by trained and experienced assessors, who apply a very strict method in order to examine various abilities determined in advance.

Notification of results and feedback

Feedback is only given to those candidates who have been at least invited to interview. This one should be requested within 1 month as of the date of the notification.

Candidates invited to an assessment centre will also have the opportunity to receive feedback about it.

• Contact the Recruitment and Mobility Service for feedback

The notification of results is done by phone or email. Candidates receive a notification about their suitability after each phase of the selection procedure.
