How can I tell if the job posting is still current?

You can apply as long as the job advertisement is online. 

Can I apply for several jobs?

Yes, of course, you can apply for several jobs at the same time.

What are the selection criteria?

You will find the specific requirements in the respective job advertisement. We make decisions based on your knowledge, qualifications, and professional experience relevant for the job as well as your development potential. It is also important for us that you fit in with AXA and our culture.

How long does the recruitment process last?

The duration of the entire application process – from submitting your application to possible employment – may vary depending on the situation. During the process, we will keep you informed about the next steps. You can also check the status of your application at any time and contact the responsible recruiter directly if you have any questions.

What happens in the first interview?
The aim of the first interview is for both sides to get a personal first impression. This is your opportunity to explain your motivation applying for the open position and highlight your skills and experience. In return, you’ll find out more from us about the function of the job, the tasks, any opportunities for professional development within AXA and what we can offer you as an employer.

You will get to meet your future direct line manager at this interview. Depending on the position to be filled, the responsible recruiter is also there and conducts the interview. A first interview normally lasts between approximately 60 to a maximum of 90 minutes.

Our tip:
Be open and honest in the interview! This is the only way of finding out whether you fit in with AXA. For a successful work relationship, it is important that you feel comfortable.

Do I have to fill out a personality questionnaire before the interview?

For some jobs, you will also receive a link to a personality questionnaire with the invitation to the interview. We kindly ask you to complete it beforehand and return it to us. We’ll give you the results beforehand and discuss them in the interview. This questionnaire is not a classic test, but a self-assessment. It takes around 20 minutes to answer the questions.

Do you also use video interviews as part of the pre-selection process?

We conduct a video interview depending on the job. You’ll receive an email invitation from us. The video interview is pre-recorded and can be completed by you online wherever you are. We use it to ask you a few questions. The video interview helps you show yourself in a better light compared to a written application.

Will my information be verified for suitability (pre-employment screening)?

We check your application details using various criteria to make sure they are correct. To do this, we need reference information as well as an up-to-date extract from the criminal register. We’ll discuss the details with you personally.

What happens with my details if I have uploaded them onto the application platform?

Your application data will only be shared with persons who are involved in the application process, such as recruiters and line managers. Data will normally be erased 6 months after the application process has been concluded. Provided you give your consent, your application documents may be stored in the AXA candidates pool for future vacancies. If no suitable position has been found for you within 12 months of the conclusion of the application process, your data will be erased automatically. You can request to have your profile deleted at any time via your dashboard. If you have any questions, please contact your recruiter. Further information on data protection can be found on the following page in section 1.3.8: Data protection provisions | AXA

Is it possible to customize the application process?

Diversity and inclusion are important to us at AXA 
Openness, respect, and appreciation of differences and similarities constitute essential characteristics of the way we work at AXA Switzerland. We are committed to promoting equal opportunities and removing barriers in the application process.

I have received a rejection. What can I do if I’d like to join AXA?

Receiving a rejection is frustrating and can sometimes be hard to understand.
