Tests and follow-up interview
If we are a good fit, the next steps involve tests and a follow-up interview. These tests serve as an additional measure to guarantee that the evaluation aligns with the specific requirements of the position, free from any preconceived notions. They are often beneficial for both us and the candidates. We always provide verbal feedback, offering a chance to delve deeper into various characteristics and attitudes.
During the second interview, you may have the opportunity to meet someone from upper management or perhaps a potential future colleague.
References
For our final candidates, we conduct thorough reference checks using a digital system to ensure an objective process. This approach guarantees that all candidates are evaluated under the same conditions, promoting fairness and impartiality in the comparison.
Rest assured, we strictly contact only those individuals you have listed as references.
