You have questions? We have answers!

Our recruitment team updates the job vacancies on our website every day. You are welcome to submit an application for as long as a job vacancy is posted on our website.

    We will be happy to receive your CV, a cover letter, and the certificates relevant for your application. Please ensure that any uploaded files are no larger than 5 MB.

      If you select the respective job advertisement in your candidate profile under “Applications”, you can remove your application from the respective procedure by clicking on the “Withdraw application” button.
      If you would like to delete your entire candidate profile, select “Settings” under the “Options” tab and delete your profile using the button at the bottom right of the screen.

        Any data you send us will be kept confidential.

                      GW only reimburses such costs in Germany if agreed in advance. There are no provisions for such reimbursement in Austria and Switzerland.

                        Our rejections concern individual applications, not individual persons. If you find an alternative vacancy that interests you, we would be happy to receive another application from you. If you are not sure whether an advertised position matches your profile, we will be happy to give you some advice here.

                          After submitting your application, you will receive an automatically generated e-mail confirming its receipt. Another two or three weeks may pass, or even longer in individual cases, before your documents have been reviewed by the recruiters and the specialist departments, but we do try to give you prompt feedback on your application.  

                            We are open to parallel applications, yet we still recommend that you keep a common thread in mind. Applications made for highly diverse positions can make it difficult for us to get a clear idea of your interests and skills.

                              Each position has different demands in terms of the experience, qualifications and personality of the candidates. These factors come together to form a basis for any decision made regarding an application, which means that generalized answers are not possible here. What we can say is the following: we live and breathe diversity and encourage collaboration between different genders, young and old, various ethnic/religious groups and people with special needs.  

                                We always take the time to fill vacancies with the most suitable candidate, which means that we do not have rigid application deadlines. Only advertisements for trainee positions (apprenticeship and trainee programs) are published with a deadline.

                                  We are unable to follow short / serial applications or application websites. Please send only complete applications that are clearly intended for a particular position in our company.

                                    Register and set up your own individual candidate profile using the “Create account” option. Upload your documents, choose your field of interest and save your entries. This information will then automatically be stored in our pool of candidates. We will only contact you if a suitable job opportunity for you arises. 

                                      All positions at GW to be filled are advertised openly – we attach great importance to transparency. We recommend applying for a specific vacancy. This will ensure clarity about your professional interests and demonstrate that you have taken a close look at our wide range of different job offers. If you are not sure whether an advertised position matches your profile, we will be happy to give you some advice here. If we have not advertised a suitable vacancy, you are welcome to upload your candidate profile and we will contact you once a suitable job opportunity arises.

                                        Our recruitment experts will compare the profiles received with the requirements of the vacancies. We conduct interviews by telephone or Skype, particularly when it comes to international applicants, in order to define mutual expectations even before a face-to-face meeting is held. If you are invited for an interview, you will receive specific information in advance about when and where to go, along with a contact address. Our managers are involved in the process from the very beginning and will also be present during the meetings.

                                          By clicking on “Apply”, your application for the selected position will be submitted directly via our online recruitment system, enabling it to be processed much faster. You can view the current progress of your application at any time through your candidate profile. You can also keep your documents up to date and apply for other jobs at a later date without having to re-submit your details. 

                                            If you have any further questions, our recruitment experts will be happy to help.
