About the recruitment process

The selection takes place in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who call candidates for a telephone interview. Then the recruiting manager makes a second selection of applicants and invites them for an interview at the clinic.

We use competency-based interviews, which means that the answers to the questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe as concrete situations as possible and try to avoid generalizing answers – this is so we can understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the outcome was.
