What to expect of the recruitment process

Stage one: Career opportunity and application

Identify the role that best suits your qualifications and career aspirations and submit your CV and covering letter online.

Stage two: Initial telephone interview

If your profile matches what we are looking for, a member of our recruitment team will contact you. If necessary, an initial telephone interview will be arranged to enable us to find out more about you.

Stage three: First-round interviews

If we consider that you are a potential candidate for the position, you will be invited to attend face-to-face interviews. Conducted by a panel, including the hiring manager, this interview helps us to understand your career interests, educational background, skills, competencies and experience, as well as what motivates you to succeed at work.

Stage four: Assessments

We may invite you to participate in a psychometric assessment which allows us to better understand your motivation and how you behave at work.

Stage five: Second-round interviews

If you successfully complete the first round, you will be invited to participate in a second interview. These interviews will enable both you and SGS to assess the potential for future collaboration and for you to get an additional insight into what working with us is like.

Reference check

We will ask your referees to answer questions about your previous work performance, your skills and behavior at work.

Selection decision and offer

Our selection panel will identify the most qualified candidate for the post. Once you have been selected for the role, your HR representative will send you an employment offer and answer any questions you may have.
