How long prior to the start of the apprenticeship or dual study programme do I need to apply?

We begin selecting our future apprentices and students for the following year of apprenticeships and studies approximately one year in advance. You will find the current apprenticeship and study openings in our job overview, starting in autumn.

How can I apply?

You are welcome to submit your application to us online – this also has many advantages for you: Your online application lands directly with the right contact person and can be processed quickly. Save on the cost of application and upload your documents with just a few clicks.

Which application documents do I need to send to you?

If you would like to apply for a job with us, we require a cover letter, a complete curriculum vitae and your school reports.

To whom do I address my application?

You may gladly direct your application to Selin Kücük. She is responsible for hiring our apprentices and dual students.

What are the opportunities for persons who did not complete their studies?

We do not regard incomplete studies as an obstacle, but rather as a chance to start something new. In the past, we have had good experiences with former students, especially in our apprenticeship programmes.

What does the recruitment process look like?

The recruitment process for our apprenticeship and study positions begins with a phone interview. Based on a positive outcome, we will then invite you either to a personal interview with the respective department or to a recruitment day. In the process, we would like to get to know you better in different tasks and interviews.

Has the recruitment process changed due to COVID-19? If so, how?

The recruitment days for our apprenticeship and dual study positions will take place digitally this year. In addition to two colleagues from apprenticeship management and a colleague from internal recruitment, the responsible mentors from the respective specialist departments will also be present online. After a brief round of introductions, we will start the morning with some information about the dual study programme and your apprenticeship at Hays. This will be followed by an open round of discussion with all participants. The topic for this will be announced in advance so that you can prepare accordingly. At the end of the half-day recruitment session, we would like to get to know you even better in an approx. 30-minute individual interview. In addition to the digital recruitment days, there is a recruitment test for the dual courses of study and the apprenticeships in office management. The selection process for the dual study program in cooperation with the IU currently takes place in the form of virtual or personal interviews in one of our locations together with the respective business department.

Can I choose the university myself in dual study programme?

Unfortunately no. All dual courses of study take place in cooperation with the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) in Mannheim.

Do I have to pay tuition?

You do not have to pay any tuition. Within the scope of your dual studies, we cover all study costs for the entire duration of your studies. We also support you in purchasing educational materials.

What are my chances for permanent employment after my apprenticeship or my dual study programme?

Our aim is to offer you a permanent position at our headquarters in Mannheim or at one of our branch offices after you have completed your apprenticeship or studies. If you are committed and have made a positive impression during the practical phases, your chances are favourable for being subsequently hired in one of the training departments.
