Would you like to apply to us and could use a few pointers about our application process? We are happy to give you an insight into our process and show you what to expect.
Your application and the pre-selection
Your application can reach us in various ways. Our preferred route, though, is our applicant management tool. We are also happy to receive applications submitted by our employees or that reach us through various social media channels.
The first interview
During the interview, we want to have a real conversation with you and get to know you as a person. We are very open and meet each other as equals. What does that mean? It should not turn into a “sales show” on either side, but an honest and authentic exchange.
The first interview is usually attended by your direct line manager and someone from HR. The aim of the conversation is to find out whether we as a company are a good fit for you as a person and vice versa. So feel free to challenge us and ask us just as many questions as we will probably ask you. We have no dress code – so come in whatever clothes you feel comfortable in. We will almost certainly turn up in jeans and trainers too (OK, our sales specialists might go for a shirt and jeans :-)). Please note: we want to know your salary expectations as early as the first interview. So be prepared for this question. We will then tell you straight away whether they fit within our range. A concrete offer, however, only follows in the second round of interviews.
Meeting the team and a possible personality assessment
The team is a decisive factor in our process. If we both have a good feeling after the first interview, a second meeting follows in which you will get to know the team. For some specific roles, we also carry out a personality assessment, which is sent out after the first interview. The questions can easily be answered online via a personal link. One very important point about this assessment: there are no right or wrong answers. Here, too, we simply want to learn more about you and your personality. For most positions, the process is complete after meeting the team and any assessment. Depending on the situation, a third meeting may follow if someone who was not present at either the first or the second interview would still like to meet you.
The offer
Spoilt for choice: the decision is rarely easy for us, as we keep meeting so many great people in our interviews. If the team, the line manager and HR are convinced by you and you would also like to join us, we will make you an offer and send you the contract.
Between signing the contract and your first day
Contract signed, start date set, but your first working day is still a little way off. That is no reason not to join our events and celebrate with us already! We will invite you to every event that takes place between signing the contract and your first working day and look forward to seeing you there.
