#1.3 | What does the application process look like?
The classic procedure: First there is a confirmation of receipt, then the documents are checked by the HR department and the relevant specialist department. We will get back to you promptly, but we still ask for a little patience: we want to do this thoroughly, and sometimes that can take some time.
In order to get to know each other and to get a good impression on both sides, we rely on a personal meeting on site. In addition to the human resources department (HR), the relevant specialist department takes part in this interview. If both sides come out of the interview positively strengthened, there is nothing standing in the way of the next step of a trial work placement (usually a 2-week internship).
