Our application process

First you need to register online and upload your application documents. As soon as your application has been received the dedicated recruiter will screen your CV. After you will receive an email from us.

Tips and tricks

The first impression counts. And you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Here are a few tips on how to do things right and make a good impression on us.

• Fill out everything on the online form, and don’t make any mistakes.
• Attach your CV, your final academic certificate or transcript, and any employment references. We also advise you to send a short cover letter with your application.
• Give us a private email address that you use regularly.
• Make your CV short and clear, and make sure it’s up to date.
• Make sure there are no gaps in your CV. We’re also interested in what you did during breaks.

• If you want to make a spontaneous application, first check out our website to find out which lines of service and offices might be right for you.

If your application meets our criteria, we will invite you to complete an online assessment. This will allow us to assess your personality and your skills.

The online assessment can be completed at home and takes around 90 minutes. Afterwards, a report containing a personal and confidential response will be sent to you.

If you impress us with your CV or online assessment, a member of the recruitment team will give you a call for a short conversation so that we can get to know you a little better.
