Once a position closes, we carry out a first filter in HR on the basis of the qualifications and experience, and match of profile to post of course - then we will send this first list to the hiring department who will do a second stage filter. All candidates are then contacted whether or not they are successful, and we try our best to make this communication as quickly as possible after the closing date. The successful candidates will be invited to take part in a web interview, and if they make it past this stage, for a face to face interview at CERN on a given date.
