Our recruitment process

We apply continuous selection and will remove the ad once enough candidates have reached the final stage of the recruitment process. A CV is required when applying. We do not use cover letters as a selection method and therefore do not need them attached. We use tests from Alva Labs as part of the recruitment process to identify the most suitable candidates. The first step is a logical thinking test, which assesses your problem-solving skills, as well as a personality test that gives us insight into your traits. The tests support our ambition to find candidates with the highest potential and to promote equality, diversity, and fairness. If you proceed in the process, the next step is interviews and reference checks. Throughout all parts of the process, we base ourselves on a clearly defined job profile to ensure a structured and objective assessment.
