Our focus is attracting talented, dedicated people who share our core values: integrity, team spirit, excellence and innovation.

We adhere to a standard process that includes initial and follow-up interviews, comprehensive candidate assessments, aptitude tests, and thorough reference checks. This allows us to make fair and informed decisions, ensuring we recruit the best fit for our team.
However, we recognize the importance of flexibility in our global operations. Depending on the position and the geographical location, the application process may vary, and some candidates may experience a more streamlined process. We are committed to providing an inclusive and fair hiring experience, tailored to the requirements of the role and location.

Congratulations on joining our team!
You started at Oerlikon!
- Once the candidate returns the signed employment contract, we enter them into our HR system, triggering the start of an onboarding program. The head of the candidate's new department is responsible for ensuring the new employee's smooth integration and satisfaction in their new role.
- The integration of new employees into our company is a crucial component of our hiring and selection processes. This usually takes at least three months.
- The first day carries particular significance as it's when new employees gain their initial impression of our company's values. As such, we meticulously plan not only your first day but also the subsequent ones to guide you effectively.
- While your supervisor and the Human Resources department share responsibility for your onboarding, the supervisor's role is paramount.
- For certain segments and locations, we have established a mentoring system. A colleague from your department, familiar with the company's culture, location, practices, and both written and unwritten rules, will guide you through your initial steps of integration.
- The feedback and insights you provide during your onboarding phase are invaluable to us. Accordingly, we have a system in place for formally collecting such feedback to enhance our HR management system.
- Performance reviews are a critical process that allows us to translate our corporate strategy and business objectives into personal goals. Within four to 12 weeks of your first day, we will convene to agree on your personal targets. Regular reviews and performance feedback will follow this meeting.
- This procedure also applies to internal position changes and promotions, whenever feasible.
At our company, we highly value the privacy of all our applicants. Please make sure you have seen our notice.
