Sure, if you are interested in more than one position just apply for the others as well. Just make sure to prioritize them. Don't worry, this has absolutely no negative influence on you and your application. The prioritization helps us to make the process as easy and fast as possible for you.

Question 4

When do I get feedback?

Accepted Answer

Usually you get feedback after 3-5 working days. In the first step of the process, so after you first applied, this might take a little longer as we want to take our time to properly look at your application and sometimes need to wait for feedback from other stakeholders involved in the recruitment process. Feel free to reach out again if you feel like your feedback might have slipped through.

Question 5

I have not received any feedback after I applied. What can I do?

Accepted Answer

Usually you get feedback after 3-5 working days. In vacation or peak times feedback times can get up to 2 weeks. In case you haven't heard back from us there could be following reasons: 1) You have entered a wrong e-mail when applying. 2) Our e-mail went to your spam folder. 3) Your application hasn't gone through the system and could not be reviewed. 4) Our recruitment process is blocked by internal decisions or vacations. In either way, please reach out to us via the phone number provided at the respective job advertisement. We will get back to you asap :)

Question 6

I have been rejected and would like to know why.

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, due to the amount or applications it is not manageable by the recruitment team to get back to every candidate individually. In case a personal interview has been conducted, we try to reach out to people over the phone to give a more detailed feedback. In any case, please don't hesitate to apply again in the future since our requirements might change for different positions.
