Application process

There are essentially two ways of applying to SEW-EURODRIVE: online or by post. As a rule, we recommend using our online application system. This guarantees a smooth application process and ensures that your application arrives at the right place. In addition, it only takes a few minutes to fill out the online form and you save on postage as well as on the costs for expensive application folders.

The application process is very straightforward:*

• Go to our online application system.
• Follow the instructions there to apply either using the form and file attachments or via XING/LinkedIn. Please also note our application tips.
• You will receive confirmation of receipt shortly after that. Generally speaking, we will get in touch within two to four weeks. For speculative applications, this can take even longer.
• We liked your application? Great! We will invite you to a Webex interview by email. During the first interview, you will have the opportunity to clarify questions and learn more about the job advertised and SEW-EURODRIVE. The conversation usually takes 45 to 90 minutes. During the first interview, you will have the opportunity to clarify questions and learn more about the job advertised and SEW-EURODRIVE. The interview usually lasts 45 to 90 minutes.
• If your qualifications and drive are right, we will conduct a second, more in-depth interview. (For student jobs, there is usually only one interview.) The second personal interview on site gives you a deeper insight. In addition to the manager and the recruiter, you also get to know the company and the environment better. The interview lasts on average one to two hours, depending on the position and previous experience for the position.
• If all the interviews are successful, if we are convinced by you and you by us, there is nothing standing in the way of starting with us. Then it's: welcome to SEW-EURODRIVE!
