Application Process

Our application process

"Personal" is one of our four core company values, and this is particularly crucial in our application process. We aim to understand you, your professional journey, and your expectations for your future role. Consequently, all applicants go through a four-stage process with us. As part of the application process, candidates have the opportunity to connect with future colleagues and managers, either digitally or in person, before commencing their roles. This approach is designed to facilitate well informed decisions for both you and us

Your Journey - From Application to Team Member

Initial Introduction

The first contact typically takes place over the phone. This initial conversation serves as an introduction, discussing your application, and addressing initial important questions.

Job Interview

If the initial impression has convinced both you and us, the next step is a first interview via MS Teams. During this interview, you'll have the opportunity to engage with your future manager and the respective HR business partner.

Get Together

Providing you with an authentic insight is crucial to us. During a personal or digital "get together," you can learn more about the team, your potential responsibilities, and grenke as an employer.

Contract discussion

In the final step, we will discuss the general terms of your contract and our benefits in another digital conversation over MS Teams.
