Recruitment at Allente

We are happy that you are interested in knowing more about our recruitment process.

Your experience of the process and time you put in it is truly important to us. This page can hopefully give you insights in different steps and why we have chosen to build our process the way we have.

We are recruiting for potential!

A cornerstone in our recruitment process is recruiting based on competence and skills and potential, rather than your hobbies.

We believe in giving everyone the same chance – why all candidates need to go through the same steps in the hiring process.

The best-suited person should get the job, no matter their background, name, belief, gender, sexual orientation etc… you get it.

This is why we involve steps such as behavioral based questions, recruitment tests and case assignments, and also why we don’t ask for cover letters.

The recruitment journey

Please note that the process may vary depending on different circumstances, like role, timing etc. We want it to be as fast and smooth as possible, but there will always be humans involved.

FAQ

We cooperate with Alva Labs and we figured they would answer your questions best! Click on the links below to read more.
Why do I need to do a recruitment test?
Using psychometric tests is a great way to ensure objectivity and accuracy in hiring. Research shows that evidence-based tests do a much better job than CVs or cover letters when it comes to predicting future job performance. They’re also more resistant to bias. In other words, tests will give us a much better picture of you as a candidate.
What can I expect from a personality test?
Takes around 15 min to complete. Be yourself! There is no "bad" personality. Different roles are suited for different personalities. And you do want to work in a role where you can get the best out of yourself.

What can I expect from a logical test?
In Alva's logic test, you need to use your problem-solving skills to solve 20 logical tasks. Is it the first time you are doing such a test? We know it can be daunting so we recommend you to google "alva labs logic test". Just knowing what to expect makes you better prepared. Also, know that we are not looking for people to score a 10, that is crazy good. Most people are... as most people - averaging around the middle.
The purpose of behavioral based questions is to understand who you are, how you think and how you approach real world dilemmas. Your answer to these behavioral based questions can help us determent how well you may (or may not) complement out team.

While the goal of the interview is to learn more about you, your goal is to position yourself is the best possible light. Each of your answer's should highlight one of the following themes:
- Self-awareness
- Growth
- Self-resilience
- A willingness to help another
We average on 4 weeks (statistics from January 2021-August 2023).
We try to contact you within 2 weeks from when you apply. Even if it's a no, yes or just an update.
4 weeks? What is taking so long you might ask?
We have steps in our process that require independent work from the candidate and the review of that work by our team. We design our process to ensure we get the right fit for the position and exposes the candidate to some elements of how we work. Exposure to future colleagues and managers is equally important so candidates can decide if they like us or not.
Therefore, we are never in a hurry to run through the process, but will always strive to be quick.
Do you need an update on the process? E-mail us! We always send an automatic reply when you apply that you can reply to.
It’s always tough to pass on great talent. Generally, we try to give you informative and quick feedback, and the longer you run in the process the feedback will become more and more personalized and detailed.
We have a rolling recruitment process, meaning that we are continuously screening applications until we've closed the recruitment process. It's not uncommon that people who apply late in the process still get a chance. We also recommend other positions we think could fit 🖐🧤

No, not really.

Benefits are dependant on the country you work in. You will be informed in later stages of the recruitment process about applicable benefits. We constantly review our benefits and strive for the best terms (and other cool things... ⌚️)
