Recruitment and selection
We have a procedure to ensure that recruitment and selection are as objective as possible, minimizing the potential for unconscious bias. Our focus is on your competencies. We aim not only to recruit talent with diverse backgrounds but also to retain it. To foster this, we have a mentoring programme for talented employees, where you are paired with an experienced colleague to discuss dilemmas and choices, and reflect on your career.
