Recruitment process

From application to success: Our hiring process

    • Preselection

      We review our applications on an ongoing basis. To ensure a fast response time, we create a preliminary selection. The decision on advancement or departure from the recruitment process is done by the hiring manager and communicated via mail.

    • HR Interview

      In the first step of getting to know each other, we schedule a call between you and the responsible recruiter. This will either be a virtual or an in person interview. The goal of this step is getting a first impression of you as a person and your professional capabilities.

    • Technical Interview

      Here you will get to know your potential manager and/or colleagues. We will test specific knowledge relevant to the execution of the job. Depending on the situation, this will be either conducted virtually or in person. Also this step can be split into several smaller interviews.

      If you completed all steps successfully, we will send you a digital offer in written form. If you also think that we are a good fit for you, you can accept the offer, and we will send you the contract and look forward to working with you.
