Who we hire?

We are looking for the best candidates - it is as simple as that.

We call our recruitment process Topgrading

By Topgrading we aim to hire, develop motivate and retain top quality employees. We recognise that our employees are our most important and valuable resource. So when we recruit someone, we not only give them a job, but a chance to develop their career within Panduit.

The essentials and CV

We are an organisation looking for:

• Strong individuals
• Ambition - people with real goals for themselves
• Professional attitude
• Ready to learn and to accept challenges

We encourage applicants with work experience to demonstrate two things: personal development within their career and achievements within the business; for example projects they have started or won, or new partner relationships they have created for their company.

Successful candidates should be able to talk about what they have learned and how they have evolved professionally, ass well as their greatest successes in a previous job or internship.

A CV should be clear and to the point - this really is a 'door opener' for the next professional move.

Important accomplishments, education and training should all be easy to review within no more than 3 pages of a CV.

If you have changed jobs, you should also explain why in your CV.

Last person we hired

The last person we hired was an Account Manager for our Network Connectivity Group for Sweden.

The person we hired clearly understood our sales strategies and showed this through questions and answers. This person also had experience working with end users, system integrators and distribution - and understood how to get the most out of these relationships to sell to customers.

The successful candidate showed an entrepreneurial business attitude which we require and the drive to produce results

General Advice

Be prepared:

• Do your research! Find out as much as you can about the organisation you want to work for.
• Prepare questions for the interview. What kind of questions can you not answer online?
• Find case studies about or from the organisation.
• Contact partner companies/organisations for more information. If you know that your preferred company works with a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO); for example, contact the NGO to find out what they do.

In terms of the interview, be prepared with examples of past experiences and a clear idea of future ambitions.
