As soon as an unoccupied job (function/role) arises within Fontys ICT, a vacancy is created for this job. A distinction can be made between a new or an existing job.

The filling of an existing job is done through the process Recruitment and Selection.

In order to create a new job, an additional process is carried out before the Recruitment & Selection process starts. This additional process is as follows:

• Responsible PM aligns proposed new function/role with managing director and HR.
• PM makes in coordination with HR a concept job description based on the created job. Where a function (instead of a role) is concerned, a link is made to the function from the generic function house which, in terms of tasks and responsibilities, best fits the new function within Fontys ICT.
• HR makes a weighting proposal based on the concept of the job description.
• HR submits the draft job description and weighting to the managing director for approval.
• PM sets in coordination with others. HR will draft the vacancy text and submit it to P&O for editing and publication.
• HR publishes the vacancy internally (within Fontys ICT) for a maximum of 2 weeks.
• PM conducts selection interviews with the internal candidate(s), depending on the type of vacancy, a 2nd interviewer joins this process.
• PM selects Fontys ICT colleague for appointment in the function/role and informs those candidates not selected.
• PM submits proposed appointment to the managing director for approval. If no suitable candidate can be selected within Fontys ICT, HR will publish the vacancy within Fontys and, if necessary, subsequently externally.
• After approval by the managing director, appointment will take place for a trial period of one year.
• PM conducts 3 evaluation interviews with the colleague during the first year (after 3, 6 and 9 months).
• HR conducts a FUWA (job rating) interview with the colleague based on a standard set of questions 9 months after the start of the new function/role. The reason why this interview takes place after 9 months is because it can be assumed that an colleague has developed a good/complete picture of the tasks and responsibilities associated with the new function/role at that moment.
• Based on the results of the job interview, the Fuwa-hbo (job rating higher professional education) is applied by HR in connection with the Fuwa consultant from P&O Service Department.
• After the FUWA, the function/role is definitively determined and the colleague (in case of a positive 9-month evaluation) is appointed to the function/role and the corresponding job scale. If applicable, the appointment (and amendment to the employment conditions) will take place with retroactive effect from the start of the trial year.

An colleague who joins Fontys ICT or is appointed to a vacancy within Fontys ICT, is appointed to a position belonging to the vacancy. In accordance with the general job description, a salary scale is linked to the position. The entry/appointment salary is determined on the basis of the Fontys ICT Salary policy.
