Step 1: Application

Through our career page, you can easily apply. Simply upload your CV and you're good to go. Even though a cover letter is not really important for us, feel free to use the text field for a short accompanying message to us. There are no limits to what you can write. If you already know someone at AOE or if someone has recommended AOE to you, feel free to mention that as a comment. Give us a few days to review your documents, then we will get back to you directly!

Step 2: Recruiting Call

A relaxed conversation with a colleague from the recruiting team, so we can get to know each other. The aim here is to discuss your and our expectations and see if there's good chemistry. We deliberately don't want to conduct traditional interviews. You don't need to list your strengths and weaknesses, and we won't ask you how many tennis balls can fit in a Smart car – we promise! So feel free to ask us questions during the conversation.

Step 3: Work sample

With the work sample, you demonstrate your expertise to us while also testing what it would be like to work with us.

Step 4: Expert interview

In an approximately 60-minute video call, you will meet two experts from the department. The purpose is for us to be able to tell you in detail what to expect. Naturally, there will also be plenty of space for your questions and for discussing the field.

Step 5: Team introduction

Get to know your future team – here, all your other team colleagues will be present too. Because: We could go on about all the benefits of working at AOE as much as we want – you'll only feel the team spirit once you've met the entire team. By the way, this is also the final step in our application process because at AOE, the teams themselves decide on their team's growth.

Step 6: Feedback call

Shortly after your team introduction, we will speak again to provide each other with feedback. This is the point where we discuss whether we will proceed together or not. Ideally, we will also discuss the start date, salary, and other conditions here. Your employment contract will also be prepared at this time and sent to you in the next few days. Of course, it may also happen that it doesn't work out. In that case, we will gladly provide you with feedback on the reasons.

Recruiting pipeline

We use a flexible recruiting process because there are often several teams and roles that could be a great fit. What does this mean for you specifically? First, we get to know you and your skills, and then we look together to see which team and role suit you best. Together, we'll find the team and role that fit you best. Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?

  • Recruiting team

    They are not only looking for the best but also for those who really fit with us. Even if it often concerns a very technical position, they want to get to know you as a person. Combining intuition with the right tools, they have a knack for finding the perfect match. Sooner or later, you will definitely encounter them in your hiring process.

First Day

Getting started

On your first day, you'll find a fully equipped workspace waiting for you, along with your mentor, who will be there to support you during your first days

The AOE Onboarding accompanies you during the first few weeks. Here, you'll get to know the AOE world and, of course, start working on your first tasks. Besides your mentor, a buddy, and the HR colleagues are also important points of contact for you. They all have an overview of everything happening at AOE and support you in all matters to make your start easier. In addition to the Newcomer Summit, you'll have access to a personalized onboarding page tailored just for you.
For your perfect start, we have the Mentoring Program. Your mentor supports your professional onboarding and is typically a direct team member – this includes getting acquainted with the team, understanding the client and their business domain, as well as technical orientation. They ensure that these aspects are communicated to you during the first few weeks, so you can get up to speed quickly.
