What elements are involved in the application process? Will I have to attend an assessment center?
BASF assesses candidates’ applications to decide which of the open positions they are best suited to. The business unit in question then decides whether or not to invite them to an interview day. This involves four to six individual interviews with representatives of the technical unit and BASF recruitment staff. As a company, we have found this approach to be extremely worthwhile – as one-on-one interviews offer an excellent opportunity to really get to know the applicant, and we consider personal impressions to be very important. Over the course of the skills-focused interviews, we establish whether the candidate’s specialist knowledge and abilities tally with the requirements of the post. The applicant also has the opportunity to meet future managers and colleagues. As a result of the success we have had with personal interviews, BASF does not include assessment centers in its graduate recruitment process. You can find out more about our selection process here…
