Structured decisions. Efficient for both sides.
Our application process is deliberately clear and focused.
We work on projects in which ambiguity must be structured and decisions prepared. It is precisely this way of working that is also reflected in the selection process.
For us, efficiency does not mean speed at any price. Efficiency means arriving at a resilient go or no-go decision with a clear structure and without unnecessary loops.
We respect your time. That’s why every step is substantiated and reduced to the essentials.
Procedure of the application process
1: Receipt of your application
You send us your documents or contact us on your own initiative.
We don’t just look at stations and technologies. The degree of responsibility, decision-making share and project types in your previous career are decisive.
If information is missing, we clarify this specifically and without long preliminary phases.
2: Clarification of open points
In a brief exchange, we clarify motivation, understanding of the role, availability and framework conditions.
This step is deliberately kept compact and serves as a quick classification. If it does not fit professionally, we communicate this at an early stage.
3: Cultural Fit Interview
Desires, working methods and responsibilities
This interview does not focus on professional suitability.
We talk about:
- Dealing with unclear requirements
- Preparing and making decisions
- Communication with technical decision-makers
- Taking responsibility in complex situations
The aim is to make a well-founded assessment of whether working methods and requirements match. At the same time, you will gain a realistic insight into the reality of our projects.
4: Skills interview as preparation
You will receive a clearly defined task to prepare you for the technical interview.
The task is based on realistic project situations. It is not about perfection or scope, but about:
- Structuring a problem
- Prioritization
- Derivation of decisions
- Clear recommendation instead of a list of options
The time required is communicated transparently and deliberately limited. Quality is created through thought structure, not through the length of the elaboration.
5: Shoulder check
Before the technical interview, we briefly discuss your application in advance.
The goal is:
- Clarify questions of understanding
- Making assumptions transparent
- Align expectations
In this way, we ensure that the subsequent discussion is in-depth and that no time is wasted on misunderstandings. At the same time, we test the ability to engage in dialog and the logic of the argument.
6: Skill interview
We analyze your solution together in a professional interview.
The focus is on:
- Thought structure
- Architectural considerations
- Consideration of alternatives
- Dealing with risks
- Ability to formulate a clear recommendation
We not only assess knowledge, but also judgment, discussion skills and the assumption of responsibility.

In concrete terms, this means
- Clear communication and scheduling
- No multiple repetitions of the same conversation content
- Transparent time required for the task

Questions and answers about our application process
The expected time required is communicated transparently and is realistically limited.
Usually within a few days of the respective meeting.
The process always takes place remotely
For most jobs, we can give you detailed feedback on request. Unfortunately, this is not possible in all countries.
Our environment is demanding and strongly focused on responsibility.
It’s not a good fit if you:
– are only looking for clearly defined implementation tasks
– don’t want any direct exchange with technical decision-makers
– feel more comfortable in highly predefined structures
– prefer to avoid rather than make decisions
– are primarily looking for maximum predictability without ambiguity
We are looking for profiles who can deal with complexity and want to actively take on responsibility.
Usually two to six weeks, depending on availability and scheduling.
We deliberately keep the process lean and avoid unnecessary loops. As soon as we have sufficient information, we make a decision.
Once you have been accepted, we will agree the contractual details promptly and define a clear start date.
Before your first day of work, you will receive:
– Transparency about your first project or assignment context
– A structured onboarding plan
– Clear contact persons
In the first few weeks, the focus is on:
– Integration into ongoing projects
– Understanding our decision-making and project logic
– Taking on clearly defined areas of responsibility
Our goal is a fast, structured start with early assumption of responsibility.
– Reflect on specific project situations in which you have taken on responsibility.
– Think about which decisions you prepared or made yourself and what effects they had.
– You can use AI to prepare. It is important that you have gone through all the content yourself and can represent it independently.
We ask intensive questions during the interview. AI answers that are not reflected quickly become visible and have a negative impact on the assessment.
– Focus on structure and argumentation.
– Make conscious assumptions and name them.
– Prioritize clearly and give reasons for your recommendations.
– AI may be used as an aid. The decisive factor is that the argumentation is comprehensibly your own.
The same applies here. We go into depth, question assumptions and check the consistency of your derivation. AI content that is adopted without reflection usually leads to inconsistent answers and is evaluated accordingly.
