About the Recruitment Process

Selection takes place in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who call candidates for a telephone interview. Thereafter, the hiring manager makes a second selection of applicants and calls them to an interview at the clinic.

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