Hiring process

Based on your CV and cover letter, we may invite you for an initial interview. This will be between you and the HR Business Partner, plus the Manager from the relevant department. 

During the interview, we will tell you more about the company, the department and the role for which you have applied. As you might expect, this conversation is focused on you and we'd be delighted to hear more about your story, background, experience and motivation. At the same time, we will give you the chance to ask questions about our company, as well as the position itself. 

Providing that the initial interview is positive for both parties, a second interview will take place in which you will speak to the GM or Area Director (depending on the opportunity applied for). During this interview, we will go into more detail regarding your profile in order to see whether you are a good match, and of course you will be given the opportunity to ask any questions that have arisen following the initial interview. 

The topic of working conditions often comes up during this interview but, if necessary, a separate meeting can be set up to discuss these. Please note, for some roles, it is necessary to complete an online test or assessment. A reference check or background check may also be required. 

Other information

If living or travelling abroad – either frequently or occasionally – is part of the role, this will be clearly specified in the vacancy. If nothing is stated in relation to this, it is safe to assume that it is a marginal part of the role or not part of the role at all.
