Frequently Asked Questions
We have a wide variety of projects with a variety of public clients. By clients you can think of NS, the Ministry of Defense, LUMC, RVO, RDW and the municipality of The Hague.
A people manager will be assigned to you at the start of your time at Kyden. You will therefore keep your people manager throughout your time at Kyden. A people manager will guide you through your personal and professional development in monthly meetings. They will challenge you to step outside your comfort zone from time to time.
In addition to your assignments, you'll also complete a two-year development program at Kyden. We also call this the "School of Kyden. You will spend about 10% of your working week on your personal and professional development. Within this development program, you will acquire new knowledge and skills that you can use during your projects. You will attend various training courses (focused on soft skills and personal development) together with fellow Talents, have intervision sessions and be coached by your people manager. Your personal development is always central.
Let's not forget 'fun'; that's also high on our agenda! In addition to your work for your client and development program, there are many other activities in which you can put all your energy, enthusiasm and knowledge. For example, together with your colleagues you organize events on relevant themes and contribute to get-togethers, fields days, weekends away, social return activities and other fun things to get to know each other better. There is always room for new ideas!
During our traineeship you will lay the foundation for your career. Afterwards, you will know exactly which direction is the next step for you. It is of course possible to grow within Kyden, but even if you choose to continue outside Kyden, we will guide you until you sign your next contract.
This depends on the client you will be working for! This is always in consultation with your client. We do have Friday as a regular day at the office to see the other talents and catch up on your assignment.
The application process may vary a bit from job to job, but here's what to expect. First, we'll review your resume and cover letter. If we think you're a good match, we'll invite you for an initial interview with one of our recruiters. Is that interview positive? Then you'll move on to the next step: a series of games that test your cognitive skills. If you excel in these and we see a good fit for our traineeships, then you are welcome for the final round: the selection day.
You certainly can! It is important to us that you choose Kyden because you feel at home with our organization. We would like to invite you for a cup of coffee at our office with a current colleague or a recruiter. Prefer to meet by phone? That is of course also possible! If you are interested, please send an email to Davidoerlemans@kyden.com.
PS: you are also welcome to join one of our free mibos. You can sign up via Cheers & Chats.
We are located in Hilversum. Here you will attend inspiring trainings and meet up with other talents on Fridays to share ideas, work together and most of all have fun. The rest of the week you will usually work at home or at your client's place, but of course you are always welcome at the office if you prefer the energy of the team around you.
💡 Good to know: many of our clients are located in the Randstad, so always easy to reach!
At Kyden, we value an informal working atmosphere. We like to combine hard work with a good dose of sociability. Our slogan: We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we take our work all the more seriously. We leave egos outside the door!
Want to taste the atmosphere? Come along to the next Cheers and Chats!
Of course there is plenty of room for your own interpretation! The more actively you participate in the search for new assignments, the more influence you will have on the direction of your traineeship. In addition to the fixed development program, you also have plenty of choice when it comes to training; via WeShareTalent you can follow various training courses and you can choose to obtain valuable certifications.
At Kyden, all our talents start under the same terms of employment. Every year you automatically make a step forward. That way we keep everything equal and create an environment where you can learn from your mistakes. Full terms and conditions can be found at the bottom of the job posting!
Every week we all dedicate ourselves to increasing our impact. This is how the best ideas come to life! This goes far beyond client projects.
At Kyden, everyone is welcome. We love learning from each other and believe you grow the most together. Therefore, we are open to people of all backgrounds, creeds, skin colors, with disabilities or not, and regardless of which letter of the LGBTQ+ you feel connected to.
