Our hiring process
For us, finding the right people to join us is essential. Our hiring process is designed to make sure that you’re a great fit for us - and that we’re a great fit for you. We want to give you an in-depth understanding of life at AutoScout24 Group, the role you’ll be doing and the team you’ll be joining. The whole process takes between four and six weeks, depending on the role.
Step One
Reviewing your application
Our recruiters and hiring teams will carefully review your application. If your skills and competencies match what we’re looking for, we’ll aim to be in touch within two weeks.
Step Two
Zoom video call
The first stage of the interview process is a Zoom video call with a member of the hiring team. We’ll talk about the essential skills you’ll need for the role and you can ask us any questions you have at this stage. This may be followed by a second video call with your potential manager.
Step Three
Onsite or video interview
Depending on the role, this could include a task, a live coding session or a presentation that needs to be prepared in advance. This is where we put your skills to the test and discover what you can bring to the team.
Step Four
Final interview
This video or onsite interview is designed to help you get to know the team, ask any last questions and feel confident you’ve found the right opportunity for you. If all goes well, we’ll make you an offer.
