About the Recruitment Process

Selection is conducted in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who invite candidates for a phone interview. Then, the hiring manager makes a second selection of the applicants and invites them for an interview at the clinic.

We use competency-based interviews, which means that 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 to help us understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the outcome was.
