Frequently Asked Questions

What does the selection process look like?

Our standard selection process includes an online meeting and a thorough structured interview, reference checks, and psychological testing. Depending on the client's requirements, deviations are possible, such as adding or omitting certain steps. Throughout the process, we provide support to candidates for any questions and career guidance, as well as in situations where candidates find it difficult to make a decision about a career change.

How long does the selection process take?

The selection process can take longer than typical in-house recruitment processes because it involves both our and the client’s selection procedures. The duration largely depends on the specifics and needs of each client, usually ranging from one month to six months, with the most common duration being around 2-3 months, also taking into account the candidate’s notice period.

What do I gain by applying to the SELECTIO candidate database?

By applying to the SELECTIO candidate database, your profile becomes available to recruiters who will contact you when new positions matching your interests open up. You can always change your contact details, as well as any other information, in your profile.

What if I don't receive a confirmation after applying to the database?

If your application to the database was successful, you will receive a confirmation email. If you don't see the confirmation, please check your spam folder. If you still haven’t received it, double-check that you entered all the required information and uploaded your CV.
