Documents
What is the maximum size of my application documents?
In principle, you can provide us with as many documents as you like. In addition to your CV, you are of course welcome to send us a letter of motivation and references. Everything that helps us to get a good impression of you is welcome. Decide for yourself whether or not you want to include a photo. Please use PDF as file type and try not to exceed 10 MB. We are looking forward to your application!
Can I send my application documents for more than one position?
You are welcome to apply for more than one position. Please make sure that the position suits you and use the "Apply here" link in each job description. We are pleased that you like several jobs at Hermes Fulfilment!
Can I send an unsolicited application?
You can find all the current vacancies we have to offer on our homepage. Since we do not have an application pool for data protection reasons, we ask for your understanding that we cannot accept unsolicited applications.
Can I apply even if I don't meet all the requirements set out in the job advertisement?
Of course. It is super rare that a person meets 100% of the requirements for a position. Our experienced recruiters are aware of this, and they also consider applications that may not be a 100% match at first glance in the rest of the application process. However, certain basic requirements should already be met.
How long will my data be stored?
We meet all the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation. You can find all the relevant information here. Your documents and all personal data will be deleted/anonymized from our system as soon as your application process is completed.
Do I need a cover letter and a photo in my documents?
No, this is not a requirement. However, a cover letter can be very helpful to explain your motivation to our recruiters, as well as information that is not shown in your resume. Just decide for yourself how you would like to apply.
Application process
How long does it take until I receive an answer/feedback?
As a rule, we try to give you an initial response within 2 weeks. Sometimes it can be faster, in very rare cases (e.g. during vacations) it can take longer. But please don't hesitate to contact the person you find on the job posting if it's too slow for you.
How will I be contacted?
If we are interested in your application, you will be contacted by phone to discuss further steps, such as scheduling an appointment to get to know each other. We ask for your understanding that due to the large number of applications we receive, we can only send rejections by e-mail. If you have any questions, you can of course contact the person listed on the job posting at any time.
How do I know if a job posting is still current?
All jobs that you find on our homepage are up to date. If a position is filled, we immediately remove it from the web.
Why am I on first name terms?
We are all on first name terms at Hermes Fulfilment and we are proud of that. That's why the entire application process is also on a first-name basis: from the job posting to contacting us to the employment contract.
Getting to know each other
What does aptitude diagnostics or Predictive Index mean?
We use the PI Behavioral Assessment, or Predictive Index (PI) for short, as a tool during the application process. The PI is a short online procedure in which you perform a self-assessment of yourself. By ticking various adjectives in two questions, you describe your drives and behavior. The results are completely anonymous and will be discussed with you in an introductory meeting.
Do all interviews at Hermes Fulfilment take place virtually or on site?
That varies greatly. To save time and speed up the process, we prefer a virtual first meeting where possible. After that, we simply discuss together how the next steps can be arranged in a meaningful way. From further virtual appointments to on-site appointments or hybrid variants, everything is possible.
Does Hermes Fulfilment cover my travel costs?
Yes, Hermes Fulfilment will cover your travel costs. However, only up to the amount of a Deutsche Bahn ticket (2nd class incl. City Option). You should discuss other methods of travel in advance with your contact person in the HR department.
What is the best way to prepare for a meeting?
Since time is often limited for a first meeting, preparation is everything. Think in advance about what you would like to tell us about yourself as a person. In addition to professional successes and know-how, we are of course always interested in your personality. What do you enjoy, what are your goals or what annoys you? The goal of the interview is always to see whether you as an applicant fit in with us as a company. That's why part of the interview will be to tell you what we can offer you as an employer, what your future team will be like, and what exemplary tasks could be. And of course, feel free to ask any questions you would like to know. We will try to answer them all ?
