IMPORTANT INFORMATION

As part of our work towards a fair and unbiased recruitment process, we have chosen in this process to collaborate with Hubert.ai and Assessio's personality test. After you submit your application, you will be directly invited to a chat-based first interview with our virtual recruitment assistant, Hubert. The purpose of this interview is to make the selection process faster and more accurate – it does not replace the human interview, but serves as a first step that helps us create better conditions for a more in-depth conversation later in the process. The interview usually takes about 15–20 minutes to complete, and we prefer that you do it as soon as you have the opportunity. Tips for the interview?
