I applied for the function Shopper Marketing Manager BeNeLux at Edgewell through their company website. A day after applying, I received an email with a couple of questions regarding my motivations, background, etc. They also added an extended job profile description and a candidate journey overview, which was very helpful and already gave me the impression they take (potential) employees serious. After sending back my answers, I was invited for an interview with the Hiring Manager and Department Director. The interview felt very genuine and calm. They were more looking into my personality, experience, what projects inspired me, etc. They asked questions about my problem solving skills, interpersonal skills and how to overcome cultural differences. It was overall very positive! I was invited for the next phase of the recruitment process, a panel interview and Business Case at the headquarters in Germany. As I was situated in the Netherlands, I was not able to travel to Germany at their indicated dates. Unfortunately, as I was waiting for any alternative dates, they mailed me a week or two later that they had continued with another more experienced candidate. Although I had to wait a bit to hear the final verdict, I felt very guided and respected throughout the process. After learning I was not selected, I shared a link to a survey for them to share any feedback. Even though I did not really expected to receive any responses (mind you, my interview was already a few weeks ago), they actually responded! I am very disappointed that I was not able to continue the recruitment process, às I believe working at Edgewell means working with managers who actually care and respect you. Hopefully I’ll have another opportunity in the future!
