More about our process

Every year, we hire thousands of people in hundreds of roles, which means that we use many different recruiting processes. So we can’t say here, “When you apply, this is exactly what will happen.” Some things, though, are almost always the same. Click on a topic below to discover more.

Please always apply online, using our job board, not via e-mail or on paper. You’ll need to create an account and provide us with some basic personal information. We will always ask for a CV, but not – usually - a cover letter. Each individual job ad will say if it needs any other documents.

Typically, the recruiter will screen applications, based on the documentation, or reach out to you for any missing information. They then create a shortlist of candidates, who will be selected to interview. Whether or not you are selected for an interview, we will keep you informed.

Interviews may be held either virtually or on-site, and their sequence and content will vary, but you’ll almost always at least speak to someone from HR and the hiring manager. They will be looking for technical skills, competencies, fit to the team and cultural fit to AAI (For more about AAI, click here: https://www.boehringer-ingelheim.com/our-focus/aai. During the interview, you’ll also have the opportunity to find out more about the role, and ensure it meets your requirements and expectations.

We will, of course, contact you if we want to offer you the role. But we’ll also tell you if we decide not to take your application further and provide feedback that we hope will be helpful.
