As part of our efforts to create a more fair and competence-based recruitment process, we have chosen to collaborate with Hubert.ai.
Once you have submitted your application, you will immediately be invited to a chat-based initial interview with our virtual recruitment assistant, Hubert. The purpose of this interview is to make the selection process faster and more accurate.
