The opportunity

Globalization and technological developments rapidly change the world we live in. For many organizations, this results in complex challenges – in terms of risks as well as opportunities! The Supply Chain & Operations team of EY has a passion to support clients in embracing those challenges. We do this, for example, by transforming complex business processes, and structurally optimize the way our clients operate.

You will continuously be challenged on soft- as well as hard skills and will work closely with both the client and experienced EY colleagues. This way, your own development never stops!

Recruitment procedure – How can you prepare for a long life together?

The recruitment procedure consists of an (online) assessment and two interviews.

Due to laws and regulations, and because EY (and in some cases its clients) has high demands on the reliability and integrity of its employees, every new employee will be screened. Depending on your rank the pre-employment screening could contain the following: Certificate of Conduct (in Dutch: VOG) or - if requesting a Dutch VOG is not possible - Criminal Background Check of the country you are currently living or have lived during the last five years, integrity questionnaire, verification of ID, diploma’s and/or work experience and consultation of the Dutch insolvency registry.
