FAQ
From application to recruitment
Once you have sent us your application documents, the relevant specialist department will make a pre-selection.
If there are any questions or uncertainties regarding your application, we will contact you by telephone.
We will arrange a personal meeting to get to know you - this will take place at Marina Lachen. If you are abroad and a personal meeting is not possible due to the distance:
- An initial meeting can also be arranged via video call
- There is also the option of arranging an initial interview together with a trial day - we offer you overnight accommodation free of charge
After the initial interview, the relevant specialist department consults with the HR department. If the decision is positive, we will invite you to a trial day. On this day you will get to know the team, the tasks and work processes. At the end of this trial day, another interview is scheduled to clarify open questions and possible contractual details. It will also be agreed whether you or we will contact you again and by when the decision can be made.
If both parties agree, we will draw up an employment contract and send it to you for signature. If you live nearby, we can even arrange a short appointment at Marina Lachen to discuss and sign the contract together.
A few days before you start work, your supervisor will contact you by phone to provide you with information about your first day at work, such as working hours/clothing/etc.
