YOU SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION
WE CHECK YOUR DOCUMENTS
Have you applied for a suitable post? We are glad to hear it! As soon as we have received your application via our online tool, we send you a confirmation. If you do not receive a confirmation, please quickly check your spam folder to see if the e-mail is there. We will then take a closer look at your documents and check if your skills and interests are suited to our company and the post advertised. This step takes a certain amount of time - we therefore thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.
WE GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER IN PERSON
If we are interested by your application, you will receive an invitation to a first interview. At this point, we will get to know each other a little better and we will tell you more about our company and the job in question. The interview will take place with our HR management team and the relevant line manager. In addition to discovering the company and the job, this will also give you the chance to learn more about the corresponding department and the team. You can also take the opportunity to ask us any questions you might have. For us, it is a chance to learn more about you, your career path so far and your motivations while explaining what the next steps are.
WE GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER EVEN BETTER
If we were pleased with our initial meeting and you were also satisfied, we will invite you to a second interview. This will give you the chance to learn more about RUAG as an employer, to discuss the job content in detail and to resolve any questions that might still remain.

WELCOME TO RUAG!
During our onboarding process, we make all the necessary administrative preparations to ensure you start off on the right foot. On your first day of work, you will receive all the documents and information you need from us. We will also introduce you to our company, show you your workstation and arrange everything with you.
Important note concerning the application process
Security is a key element at RUAG. Accordingly, we conduct a personal security check for all new employees. Before taking up your post, you will therefore be asked to produce an excerpt from the judicial and debt enforcement registers. This is a requirement of the Federal Council that must be completed by all our employees. Without both documents being produced, we cannot conduct a personal security check and cannot, therefore, sign a contract.
Career events
There are many opportunities for us to get to know each other!
