Which companies will the application be sent to?

You can request the Internet addresses to which we have sent your application by e-mail from your account manager.

Access data for your e-mail address

Access to the e-mail address set up for you is reserved for your job consultant. He or she will do all the work for you and you can deal with the positive feedback in detail.

You will find all positive feedback in your account - where you can also reply to it directly.

Forwarding of feedback from the employer

You will immediately receive any positive feedback from an employer. You can now search for this employer and contact them using your private e-mail address.

If an employer does not meet your expectations, please cancel and do not leave any enquiry unanswered.

Please contact us in the event of dubious feedback.

Positive feedback

After receiving feedback from an employer, you have a bit of work to do. We have put together a checklist for this:

Most information can be found on the Internet.

Confirmation of the enquiry

You can answer brief enquiries by e-mail.
You can confirm invitations to a telephone or job interview with a proposed date by e-mail or telephone.

If you have to cancel

Of course you will take advantage of all the opportunities that are offered to you. Are there any reasons that speak against an offer from your point of view? Then please cancel in a friendly manner.
