We frequently have openings for internships, working students, trainees, and entry-level positions!

Ibo Metz, our HR Director, explains the benefits of using our game-based assessment: 'Everyone has (unconscious) biases, and some are better at eliminating them than others. We don't want to miss out on your talent, which is why we believe it is important to select as objectively as possible.'
We strive to make our application process as simple as possible, so we only ask for your resume. A motivation/cover letter is not required for our entry-level role process. Our Campus Recruiters will screen your CV and check if you meet the essential criteria. If you qualify, you will be invited for a game-based assessment that measures your cognitive and behavioral skills. This assessment allows us to see who you are beyond grades and experience. It is part of our goal to have an unbiased hiring process and make the selection more objective. If you wish to explain why you are interested in the role, you can briefly add your motivation at the end of the assessment.
After the assessment, you may be invited for one or more interviews focusing on motivation, cultural fit, hard skills, and experience. During these interviews, feel free to ask questions about our company, team, and the role you are applying for.
