To find the right candidate for this position, DEIF uses an alternative recruitment strategy: blind recruitment. Consequently, if this job appeals to you and you want to apply for the position, you must answer four job-specific questions, and that’s it. In other words, we do not want to receive a conventional application and CV, nor any personal information about you (age, gender, ethnicity, etc.). Exciting, right?!

We do blind recruitment to reduce bias in the recruitment process and challenge ourselves, with the overall goal to promote diversity and inclusion in our company and improve the candidate experience.
