The purpose of a recruitment test is to get to know you and your skills better. Since all applicants take the same test, the results can be compared with each other, and we can rationally and fairly evaluate who is basically suitable for training at Schunk. So everyone has the same chance in a recruitment test, without subjective factors such as appearance, behavior or likeability playing a role.
The recruitment test is the second stage of our application process for future trainees and dual students. Those applicants are invited who were able to convince us in the first step with their written online application. You will receive an invitation to the recruitment test by e-mail.
