Our recruitment process

What happens to your application once you’ve submitted it?

 

STEP 1: Application review

Our recruitment team will review all applications and look for the ideal combination of experience and education applicable to the position. If your talent, skills and experience don’t match our requirements, you will receive a communication from us thanking you for your application and indicating that you were not successful for that specific position. If, on the other hand, you are shortlisted for the position, we will contact you to set-up up an interview.

 

STEP 2: Interviews

Once you are shortlisted we will contact you for a telephone, video-conference or in-person interview. Depending on the position, you may also be required to be interviewed by other members of the team or related teams. During this stage, we will seek to find out more about your talent, skills and experience and will give you the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about Dimension Data culture. For ideas on how to prepare, have a look at our Interview Tips.

 

STEP 3: Assessment

If you wow us in the interview(s), you may be required to complete some assessments. These assessments, along with your talent, skills and experience are used to make an informed and fair recruitment decision.

 

STEP 4: Background checks and Employment Offer

Depending on the region where you are based, we may be conducting background investigation, which includes verification of education and your previous employment (in some countries this may only be done after an offer has been extended.)

 

 

Interview tips

 

Congratulations! You have been asked to come in for an interview. Here are some tips to help you prepare.

 

Focus on your achievements

We want to know what success you have achieved in previous jobs or during your studies. Be specific. Think about and write down specific examples that describe how you have applied your current skills. We may ask you to share those examples with us.

 

How do you handle difficult situations?

We are also interested in your challenges and tough times that you’ve had at work or in your studies, and what you did to overcome those difficulties. We may ask you what you would do if conflict arises or how you would deal with challenges such as personal stress or uncooperative team members.

 

Why should we hire you?

Be prepared to sell yourself to us! Put yourself in the hiring manager’s shoes and think about what he/she needs to know about you, in order to decide to hire you.

 

Ask your own questions

Surprisingly, most people don't take advantage of the chance to ask questions of their interviewer. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to find out more about the position. It is important for you to ask questions - not just any questions, but those relating to the job, the company and the industry.

 

What to wear

Our business dress is professional but business casual. Don’t let your clothes speak louder than you do, let your skills and knowledge make the impression.
