5 AT JOB INTERVIEWS
During the recruitment process, we conduct job interviews focusing on both your professional and your personal qualifications, the job content and our business as a workplace. We will make a note of some of the information disclosed during the interview(s) for the purpose of the final evaluation of the applicants for the position.

7 PERSONALITY TESTS
When recruiting for certain positions, you may be invited to take a personality analysis and/or a logical test. We will always consider whether it is relevant that you take such test in relation to the relevant position. The purpose of the test is to evaluate your qualifications as a potential employee and to consider whether your profile suits our business and the specific position.
