Our recruitment process We are excited that you are interested in applying for the role with us! We understand that applying for jobs can feel challenging, especially in times when competition is high and many applications are submitted. However, in reality, we can usually only welcome one new colleague per role, which unfortunately means that several strong candidates may not progress – even if they have a lot to offer. For us, it is important that you feel secure about how the process works. Therefore, we want to be transparent about how we make our selections. We always conduct a holistic assessment of the application. Of course, we look at CVs and experiences, but that is not the only factor at play. When we recruit, we base our decisions on a clear requirement profile that we share in the advertisement. Your responses to the selection questions – and sometimes test results – are also considered in our assessment. In cases of many applications, those parts can become decisive, so please take a little extra time to fill out the selection questions carefully before submitting. In addition, we also look at how experiences and competencies match the needs and context we have in the team right now. This way, we aim to provide each candidate with as fair and transparent a process as possible. Your application In your application, we would like to have your CV or your LinkedIn profile. Cover letter? You can skip that! We are interested in your skills; getting to know you will happen during a potential interview. At the end of the recruitment process, we conduct a background check on all individuals we wish to hire, regardless of role or function. Since we only apply this to the final candidate, we will provide more information about it later. We warmly welcome your application! The core of Kronans Apotek is about thriving together.
