Q: Which documents does esome need to consider my application complete?

For your application at esome, you don't need to write a cover letter. Instead, just answer our two motivational questions in advance. We also look forward to receiving your CV, including work and training references (plus your graduation certificate). By stating your desired start date and salary expectations, we know immediately whether the general conditions fit.

Q: Is it possible to work for esome while studying?

Yes, you are also very welcome to join our team as a working student or intern. We regularly seek student support for the individual departments - with fair payment being guaranteed.

Internships that last less than six months can be offered if you consider staying at esome afterward.

Q: Do I have to apply more than once if I am interested in several positions?

No, a single application is perfectly fine. We do not only check all incoming applications for a match with the desired position but also compare them with all other job profiles. However, a note that you are interested in more than one position can speed up the process.

Q: I have sent my application - when will you get back to me?

You will receive a confirmation on the same day—that way, you will know that your documents have reached us. Afterward, we will take the time to review your application documents in detail and discuss them with the respective department. We will get back to you within the next ten days.

Q: What exactly happens to my data?

We use your documents to match them with the profile of the position you are applying for. At the same time, we also check possible matches with similar jobs at esome.

If we cannot offer you a job, your data will be completely deleted after a maximum of six months. If you have any questions about data processing, want to update your data, or prematurely delete it, feel free to contact our People & Culture Team at recruiting@esome.com . You can count on a response within the next 72 hours. Alternatively, you can delete your data anytime using our applicant management tool.

Q: How do I prepare the best for my interview?

Be yourself! We want to get to know you personally and have a conversation at eye level to determine if you fit into our esome team.

It is important to us to understand what has motivated your development so far, why you think you would be a good fit for esome, and your expectations of the job and the working environment.

Q: Digital or on-site: How do interviews take place at esome?

The first round of talks usually takes place digitally to keep the effort for both sides as low as possible. For you, this means that you don't have to worry about traveling. Instead, we will send you a dial-in link (including access code) by e-mail in advance, which you only need to open at the start of the meeting. Then, we will happily invite you to our office for your second call.

Q: Modern work culture: What does that mean in terms of dress code?

Our motto is: Come as you are! It is important to us that everyone feels comfortable. That's why we don't have a set dress code for esomies or applicants.
