2. How does the application process for a job at K5 Look like?
As different as our companies and the respective positions are, so is the interview process. Typically, it looks like this at K5:
Initial interview: Short get-to-know-you interview online or by phone with responsible Team Lead: This is about getting a first impression of each other, clarifying your motivation for applying, your qualifications and our expectations for the role.
Round 2: Personal interview with the Team Lead and a team member: Here we look at our common personal and cultural fit and your specific professional background and mutually clarify further questions regarding our mutual expectations and details of the role.
Round 3: Short, usually personal meeting with the Team Lead and the responsible Managing Director, usually combined with a tour of the office and a round of introduction of your future team members to introduce yourself and get to know each other.
Offer/Rejection: We always try to make a decision and provide feedback promptly. If the personal, cultural and professional aspects are mutually compatible, we carry out a reference check and make you an offer. From then on, it’s time to prepare your entry.
