Here's how our application process works

Curious to know what happens next once we’ve received your application? Our process is transparent, quick and personalised – so you know exactly what to expect.

Here's how the application process works:

1. Your application

You can apply for a job vacancy by email or send us your unsolicited application to bewerbung(at)saev.de.
We look forward to receiving your detailed application, comprising: 

  • Letter of motivation 
  • detailed CV
  • a copy of your highest school leaving certificate
  • Employment references, references and certificates, where available and relevant to the role
  • Your salary expectations and, last but not least, 
  • Your earliest possible start date

Please note: Please combine all attachments you wish to submit into a single, clearly organised PDF file. We will only accept other file formats in exceptional circumstances.

2. Submission to the SÄV

You will receive confirmation of receipt of your application shortly.

3. Feedback and preliminary discussion

If we’re interested, we’ll call you or send you an email to schedule an interview. We’ll conduct the interview virtually via Microsoft Teams or in person at our office. For a Microsoft Teams video call, you’ll receive a link in a separate email that will take you directly to the online meeting. You can find instructions for use here. In advance, we will provide you with a phone number you can use to contact us in case of technical difficulties. Please also let us know if, for personal reasons, you are unable to conduct an interview via MS Teams.

4. Invitation to an in-person interview

If we’ve had an initial interview via Microsoft Teams, we’ll invite you to an in-person interview at your future workplace. If necessary for the next steps in the hiring process, we may then ask you to come in for a trial workday.

5. Commitment

If we, for our part, are confident that the discussions will have a positive outcome, we will send you a confirmation. Ideally, we have also managed to convince you of our capabilities by this point. We will then address any remaining questions in a face-to-face meeting.

Miscellaneous

If we are unable to consider your application, we will of course let you know as soon as possible. Please understand that it may take several weeks to thoroughly review all applications received. 

If you have any questions, we’re here to help - please feel free to contact us! For specific questions about the advertised position, please contact the person listed in the job posting.
