Frequently asked questions about our recruitment process
-
What does it mean that we review applications on an ongoing basis?
It means that we review applications as they come in and may begin the next steps of the recruitment process before the application deadline. We therefore encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.
-
Are reference checks part of every recruitment process?
Yes, reference checks are part of our recruitment process. We usually ask for 2–3 references from previous employers, and the process is carried out digitally via email or text message.
-
What happens after I submit my application?
Once we have received your application, we will review it and assess how your experience and skills match the requirements and qualifications for the role. Candidates who move forward will usually be contacted by email or phone and invited to an interview via Teams or in person.
If you are not selected to move forward, we will let you know by email. For some positions, we receive many applications from qualified candidates, which means we may need to make a selection among candidates who meet the requirements. Unfortunately, we are not always able to provide individual feedback in these cases.
