Frequently asked questions
The duration of our IT support recruitment process can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the complexity of the role, the specific skillsets required and the level of competition for those skills within the Dutch hiring market. For instance, a highly specialised role such as a IT Business Analyst in a niche area may require a more extensive search and evaluation process, potentially extending the timeline. Conversely, a more general role such as an System Engineer with available talent may have a shorter recruitment cycle. While the timeline can vary, at Robert Half, we strive to expedite the recruitment process as efficiently as possible to ensure a timely and successful placement for your business.
