Understand Young Executive selection, the evidence for games, and how client executive-search roles differ.
By the Game Assessment Prep research teamUpdated September 14, 2026How we research
An October 2025 Young Executive Trainee report mentions cognitive and behavioral games without naming the platform; the July 2026 experience names Equalture. Neither provides a verified game lineup. These reports support expecting a possible game stage, while leaving exact mechanics and scoring unresolved.
The employer name covers two different candidate situations. You may want to join its consulting team, or you may encounter Boer & Croon because it is recruiting a manager for a client. Read the vacancy heading and employer description before using a Young Executive assessment guide.
For the starter route, the useful preparation question is how you turn analysis into action. The role information emphasizes responsibility, working with clients and helping improvements take hold. Build examples that continue past your recommendation to implementation, stakeholder response and a result you can explain.
The current vacancy describes a 2.5-year development route spanning Supply Chain & Operations, People & Change, Strategy & Transformation and CFO Services. It lists a completed research-university master’s degree (WO-master) and at most one year of experience. Recheck the live vacancy for your intake.

The starter careers page describes work across organizations and sectors, with early responsibility for structuring problems, improving processes and implementing plans. It values analytical speed, tact, curiosity and the ability to collaborate in unfamiliar settings. These are useful themes for choosing interview examples.

Current vacancy dates govern your application. Historical recruitment events are useful process evidence but do not create a recurring intake calendar.
| Cycle | Application dates | Likely assessment window | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Young Executive applications | Use the live vacancy and invitation | Not specified in the current vacancy | No evidence found The reviewed Young Executive advert describes the role and entry requirements without a dated assessment schedule. Do not use a previous event’s interview day as your deadline. Source: Young Executive vacancy |
| SKSG board-chair client search | Published closing date: September 22, 2026 | Interviews October 9 and 16, 2026; assessment date not stated | Official source The vacancy aims to complete selection before November 1, 2026. This is a client executive-search calendar, not a Boer & Croon graduate intake. |
The exercises below build relevant skills for a transformation and management role. They are practice suggestions rather than a list of questions or cases promised by Boer & Croon.
Choose a project in which you helped change an actual process. Trace the problem, your analysis, the people affected and what happened after the recommendation. If you only completed the analysis, say so and describe the next practical step you would have taken.
Take a simple scenario such as a growing warehouse backlog. Separate possible causes, choose the first data you would request, calculate a rough capacity gap and propose a small intervention. Finish with an owner, a way to measure progress and a risk to watch.
Rehearse one example of working with someone who disagreed with your plan. Explain their concerns fairly, the questions you asked and how you adapted. Avoid making the other person look unreasonable merely to present yourself as persuasive.
Connect your studies or experience to one of the advertised areas, then identify a second area you want to learn. Prepare a concrete explanation of the problem you would like to help solve; a list of fashionable consulting terms is less useful.
If it specifies games, work through the supplied rules and demonstrations carefully. If it specifies a case, practice structuring and explaining your reasoning aloud. For a client leadership role, focus your examples on that organization’s priorities and the advertised mandate.
A July 2026 Amsterdam Young Executive candidate reports Equalture. The official careers pages reviewed do not establish that platform for every applicant or role.
A January 2025 event offered that arrangement after preliminary screening. It is historical event evidence, not a guaranteed schedule for a current application.
A completed WO-master and no more than one year of experience. Check the vacancy for the version relevant to your application.
No. Its executive-search services recruit for client organizations. Check the named employer and prepare for that client’s role requirements.
Prepare examples of translating analysis into action, working with different stakeholders and learning quickly. A short implementation case is useful optional practice; it is not a confirmed exercise for every applicant.
