This is how the application process works with us:
Step 1: Online application
Submit your application documents online via our job portal. To allow us to process your documents further, you must create a login. After submitting your application, you will receive a confirmation. We assess each application individually based on the criteria in the job advertisement. This sometimes takes a little time. If your application fits, we will contact you for a first interview.
Step 2: Interviews
In the interview – by phone, on site or online – we want to get to know you. We check whether your expectations of the position match ours, what experience and skills you bring, whether you like our culture and how you fit into the team. If there is mutual interest and depending on the position, several interviews may take place. All your questions about the position, the team or the employment conditions are always welcome.
Step 3: Further steps in the process
Depending on the position, we arrange a trial or taster day, give you a professional task, organise a meeting with the team or invite you to an assessment. Reference checks are usually also part of our application process. You will be transparently informed about all steps in the process.
Step 4: Application decision
Are you convinced by us and we by you? After a verbal offer, you will receive a confirmation, the contract documents and information on how to proceed until you start the job. It didn’t work out? We look forward to you applying for other exciting positions despite the rejection.
