FAQ

Thanks for applying! We review applications on an ongoing basis and assess them together with the hiring manager. If we think there is a match, we'll reach out to schedule a 30min talk with one of our recruiters. You'll always hear from us, whether you move forward or not - so hang tight!

Not at all, we review applications as quickly as we can, but we are only human and we like to give each application the attention it deserves. If it's been a while since you applied, we are probably working our way through applicants, but please feel free to reach out and we'll let you know the current status.

Definitely! If you tick some of the boxes and feel excited about the role, go for it 😊

We don’t expect anyone to match every requirement perfectly, we also value potential, curiosity, and learning mindset. And if you want to share what motivates you, a short personal letter is a great way to tell us why you think this role is made for you.

We always make sure you hear from us, whether you move forward in the process or not. If you’ve been through interviews or assessments, we aim to give meaningful feedback whenever possible. Please feel free to let us know what kind of feedback you are looking for, and we'll try our best to adapt to that. However, at the application stage we unfortunately aren’t able to provide detailed feedback to everyone.

Yes, absolutely! If you’re interested in multiple roles, feel free to apply to the ones that genuinely match your experience and motivation.

If it’s helpful, you can also mention in your application that you’re open to more than one role, we’ll take that into account when reviewing.

This is a relaxed first chat with one of our recruiters - no stress, no trick questions.

It’s meant to be a two-way conversation where you get to know us and the role a bit better, and we’ll ask a few questions to understand your background and what you’re looking for. No preparation needed.

We’ll also touch on practical stuff like salary expectations and your notice period, so it’s a good idea to think about that beforehand. And yes, there’s time for your questions too!

Overall, we’ll keep it high level and fairly short.

The Meet & Greet is a first conversation where we get to know each other better.

You’ll meet the hiring manager and someone from our People & Culture team. We’ll share more about the role, the team, and Simployer as a company, and we’ll ask some competence-based questions related to your experience.

There’s no need to prepare anything specific in advance. It can still be helpful to have a few real examples from your previous experience in mind, as we’re interested in how you’ve approached different situations and responsibilities.

Just as importantly, this is your opportunity to ask us questions, about the role, the team, our way of working, or Simployer in general. We want the conversation to feel open, relaxed, and mutual.

A case interview (or case assignment) is our way of getting a better understanding of how you approach real-life tasks related to the role, and it’s also a chance for you to get a feel for the type of work you’d be doing at Simployer.

The best way to prepare is to:
- read through the case instructions carefully (and ask if anything is unclear!)
- set aside uninterrupted time to work on it
- focus on structure and reasoning, not perfection
- keep your solution simple and clear, and explain your thinking along the way

We’re not looking for a “perfect answer”, but rather how you think, prioritize, and solve problems. And during the case interview itself, we want it to feel like a conversation, so feel free to talk us through your process and ask questions as you go.

The team chat is a chance for you to meet some of the people you might be working with, and for both sides to get a sense of what it would feel like to collaborate day to day.

It’s usually a relaxed conversation where we talk about things like:

• how we work together as a team
• communication and collaboration styles
• what you enjoy in a work environment
• what motivates you (and what helps you do your best work)

There’s no need to prepare anything formal. It can still be helpful to reflect on a few examples of how you like to work with others, and to come with questions for the team. We really want this to be a two-way conversation, and a chance for you to see if Simployer feels like the right fit for you too.

Totally normal. Most people are!

Try to think of the interview as a conversation rather than a performance. We’re not looking for perfection, we’re looking to get to know you, understand your experience, and see if it feels like a good match.

And remember: we’re probably a little nervous too - interviews are always a two way street for us 😊

As part of our recruitment process, we ask all candidates to complete an assessment through Alva Labs before the Meet & Greet. We know tests can feel a bit unfamiliar (and sometimes even a little intimidating), so we want to be clear about why we use them.

For us, the assessment is not a “pass/fail” test, and it’s definitely not something we treat as black and white. Instead, we use it as a tool to get to know you better, just like we do through interviews and conversations.

It also helps us bring in a more objective and structured source of data, so that every candidate gets the same foundation and opportunity in the process. The results are always viewed in context, and they’re only one part of the overall evaluation.

Most importantly: the assessment is there to support a fair process, not to define you.

Yes, absolutely. We encourage candidates to use AI tools as part of their preparation and work in the recruitment process. We believe AI can be a great way to work more efficiently, and it’s something we expect many people to use in their day-to-day work as well.

That said, it’s important to us that we get to know you, your reasoning, your judgement, and how you approach problems. If you use AI, we may ask you to explain your thinking, how you evaluated the output, and why you chose a certain solution.

In short: AI is welcome, but we want to understand the person behind the prompt 😊

It varies a bit depending on the role, time of year, and how many candidates we’re speaking with. In general, our process takes a few weeks from first contact to final decision.

We know waiting can be tough, so we always aim to keep things moving and communicate clearly along the way. If anything changes or takes longer than expected, we’ll keep you updated.

Whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident.

We’re pretty casual at Simployer, so there’s no need to dress formally unless you want to. Come as you are 😊

This depends on the role, team, and location. Many roles offer flexibility, and we’re happy to talk about what’s possible early in the process.

If hybrid/remote work is important to you, feel free to mention it, we’re always open to discussing it.

No worries at all, life happens.

Just reach out as soon as you can and we’ll find a new time. We’d much rather you reschedule than show up stressed or squeezed for time.
