Application Process 

When applying with Danone, the first step is to reply to the vacancy online. Here, you will be asked to provide your CV and your motivational letter. You can also link your LinkedIn account. If Danone thinks your profile is a fit for the vacancy, you will usually be asked to do some online tests. These tests are provided by assessment publisher CEB/Gartner (SHL). 

You will usually be invited for a first interview if the previous steps were successful. Following this, you will be invited to an assessment center if the interview results positively. You will perform several tasks and activities in this assessment center during one or two days. You will be asked to retake the previous online tests, conduct some more interviews, and do a group assignment. If all goes well you will receive an offer after this.
