Recruitment procedure – How can you prepare for a long life together?
We are happy to receive your application and then call you for a brief introduction. Following this conversation, we decide to continue the process and a maximum of 2 (physical) interviews will follow. Making an (online) assessment is part of the procedure, in which your personality is particularly highlighted.
