In many organisations, including WUR, the principle applies that internal candidates are given priority in recruitment procedures. We want to use the talent that we already have and give colleagues the opportunity to continue developing themselves. There may also be priority for certain groups. We feel it is important that, prior to your job application, you are familiar with the different components of the selection procedure.
We explain in detail our Recruitment & Selection Policy which rules apply for granting priority, as well as the procedures.
WUR carries out pre-employment screening for certain positions to carefully manage risks relating to integrity, safety and confidential information.
This may, for example, be relevant for roles with specific responsibilities or access to sensitive information.
In this way, screening contributes to the careful and reliable filling of positions with a higher risk profile. Where pre-employment screening applies, such as a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and/or reference check, this will be stated in the vacancy text.
