The Recruitment Process
Our 5-step recruitment process.
As soon as we receive your resume, our HR team will carefully review your background and skills to assess how well they match the position we are offering.
If your profile matches our needs, an HR representative will contact you to schedule an initial phone interview. This conversation will help us better understand your career goals and motivations, and prepare for the next steps in the hiring process.
You’ll meet with an HR representative and your future manager. These interviews are an opportunity to discuss your responsibilities, your work environment, and the values that drive our teams, while also getting answers to all your questions.
Once the recruitment process is complete, we will notify you of our decision as soon as possible.
If you join Gustave Roussy, you’ll receive personalized support from the moment you arrive to help you get started in your new role and integrate into our teams.
