Application Process

The first step

In the first step, we review your full application documents together with the specialists in the field. We will try to provide you with feedback as soon as possible and will contact you, as a rule, after a maximum of two weeks.

The first interview

During the first interview, we are more interested in you as a person than in simply looking over your CV. Getting to know each other in a friendly manner is very important to us. You should also carefully consider whether you would like to join us. During the first interview, you will therefore meet a representative from the relevant specialist field.

The second interview

In the second interview round we will ask more detailed questions, show you our office, and give you the opportunity to get to know colleagues from the team and possibly from other areas.

Welcome on board

And if everything works out, we look forward to having you on board as a new member of the team!
