Interviewing with Voyado
Competency based interview - what is it?
Competency interviews are a way of structuring questions to ensure we can objectively understand and assess how your past experiences align with the skills and traits the team is looking for in their next colleague. By focusing on real-life examples, these interviews will provide a clear picture of your skills and how you handle various situations.
It's not as scary as it might sound, but a great way for you to showcase your previous experiences and how you've made use of your traits in real-life contexts!

But why competency based interviews?
Studies show that the best way to predict future behavior is by understanding how you've managed similar situation historically. So by sharing your previous experiences, you will give us an understanding of who you are, what skills and traits you possess and how you are likely to perform and thrive in your new role.
As a part of having an inclusive process with an evidence based approach we ensure we treat all candidates with respect and more equally

Competency based questions
Competency-based questions are focused on past behavior, which is why they are often started with prompts like "Tell me about a time when…" or "Describe a situation where…".
All questions target specific skills or competencies. This depends on the role and the kind of person the team is looking for. It could be leadership, communication, structure, problem-solving, or similar.
Make sure to read through the ad, and you should find what traits and skills the team is looking for :)
Frequently asked questions
-
We have an office policy that states Wednesdays as our work from home-day. However, we understand the life puzzle needs to add up so if you have to be home more days some weeks then that's rarely a problem. Just make sure to sync with your closest manager.
-
Sometimes we do! A very vague answer, but it depends on the capacity of the teams, what projects they're working on at the time, and their ability to support you. Make sure to keep an eye out on our career site, or connect with our Talent Acquisition team, and you'll get a notification if opportunities pop up!
-
Having a degree might be important for some roles, and less for others. It's always stated in the ad if it's a requirement, but in general we believe work experience could compensate for not having a degree.
-
No, to make sure we are compliant with GDPR and data protection laws we only accept applications via our ATS TeamTailor.
-
As of right now, we are unable to proceed with applicants where visa support is required, and a requirement of eligibility to work at Voyado is the right to work in the EU without limitations.
Needless to say, this is something we are actively working on to be able to onboard colleagues from all over the world.
-
As we work with ongoing selection our recommendation is always to apply right away. If you cannot find the ad on our career site anymore it is likely because we've received plenty of applications and started the interviewing process.
-
Yes, of course! You find contact information for the responsible TA-Partner at the bottom of each job ad.
-

If you believe you've waited long enough, just follow up with your Talent Acquisition partner you've been in contact with - there is for sure a good reason you haven't heard back from us yet.
How to prepare for the interview
-
Read the ad
To give yourself the best prerequisites before the meeting, make sure you've read through the ad and reflected upon situations where you've had the opportunity to display your communication skills, leadership abilities or whatever is important for the particular position.
-
Be as specific as possible
We know most succesful projects are team efforts, and therefore it's easy to say "We did...". Try to remember we are focusing on your contributions, and would love to hear about how you personally approached something.
-
STAR - a way to structure your answers
S - Situation. T - Task. A - Action. R - Results.
After having read the ad and figured out what competencies are deemed important to succeed in the role, consider scenarios in your career where you've made use of these qualities.When answering questions, remember the star model as a way to structure your answers. Describe the situation by giving context and background, tell us about the task at hand and the problems you we facing, follow by the actions you took and the results of said actions.
-
There is no need to stress
It can feel a little weird getting such direct questions, and it is totally okay to say "Can we get back to this question a little later", or asking for more time to reflect upon your answer. We are not here to assess how quick you think, or how grandiose your examples are. So take your time!
Most importantly, be you!
-
We are looking forward to meeting with you, and hope you will bring your full self into the meeting. Also remember that your designated TA-Partner is always there for you so don't hesitate to reach out.
