Great that you clicked on this page since it shows us that you have been busy checking out our job offers and want to take the next decisive step. By the way: We are aware that “application process” is a rather cold sounding term but at Lahmeyer International, we can assure you, it means first of all getting to know one another - and testing if you and we fit together. This allows us to get a clear picture of you.
First impressions leave a mark and are quite definite. That’s why it’s best to cast a positive light on yourself – and use our online application form. Necessary application papers include cover letter, CV, transcript of your most recent school or university degree and – if available – employer reference letters. Even continuing education certificates – no more than 5 years back – sharpen our picture of you. Don’t forget to let us know your earliest possible entry date or length of notice required and your salary expectations.
In reviewing your application it would be important for us that you fit the requirements of your preferred position. Of course, it’s possible that one of your competitors has an edge over you in professional terms. But even then we take a look to see if your qualifications fit another job in our company. We just don’t like to leave qualified applicants for our competitors. Don’t be surprised if we get in touch with you by phone or mail even during the early part of this process: We simply need more information from you.
It’s possible that we would like to interview you by phone after first reviewing your application. This is often the case when a job demands special qualifications which we can check on the phone. Of course, we would advise you ahead of time of such a call.
If we are satisfied by your professional qualities, we would like to get to know you personally. The first interview will usually be with the department head and the appropriate personnel officer. In a relaxed atmosphere we would like
a) to introduce the company and the department in more detail,
b) to speak quite clearly about the responsibilities of the open position, about you and your prospects in our company.
The ideal situation: it sparked already in the first conversation. In this case, we will invite you to a second meeting in which you will get to know not only the department head and the personnel officer but also a member of the board. During this time information offered in the first meeting will be clarified, and the job will be discussed in detail so you will have a good idea of your future position. We don’t just want to put your knowledge to the test, but our primary concern is: Are you capable of successfully shaping your future position?
At Lahmeyer International we put special emphasis on your personality and for that reason don’t carry out statistical tests and refrain from using assessment centres.
Take the initiative, bring in a fresh breeze and apply online now for an open position on our Vacancies. There you will also have the opportunity of sending us your unsolicited application.
