Application: Your Way to us 

GIC_Route_To_Us_16x9.jpg

Diversity makes our company more successful. Therefore, we are looking forward to your application, without regard to gender, age, national origin, sexual orientation, disabilities or worldview. 

Find your dream job via our global job search

Once you have found a position that interests you in our global job search, you are redirected to one of our regional online application systems. Here you have the possibility to create your own profile, upload your CV and cover letter, and any references - takes about 15 minutes. 

If you submitted your application you will instantly receive a confirmation per mail. 

In order to get some first impressions of you during the screening process, we review the information that you provided us in your CV. In addition to your professional qualifications, we are especially interested in:

  • Your educational and professional determination
  • Your commitment e.g. in social, athletic, musical or cultural endeavors
  • Your intercultural interests or experiences
  • Further education / qualifications, awards or grants

In Germany, for selected positions like our rotational programs, the preselection is supplemented by an Online Assessment.


When do I receive feedback?

Your application will be examined individually and upon a positive assessment will be forwarded to the relevant business/functional unit. We aim to give you feedback on your application within two weeks. Since multiple parties are involved in the selection process, in some cases it can also take longer.

Telephone Interview

Have you peaked our interest? Then the next step is to set a date for a telephone interview with one of our colleagues from the European recruiting team so that we can gather some first impressions about who you are and what skills you have to offer. We will also of course be pleased to answer any questions.

If you convinced us during the pre-screening process, you will be invited to a personal interview day. Your interview day is primarily focused on getting to know you better and giving you the chance to meet potential colleagues and get an idea of how BASF operates as an employer.

If you won us in a personal talk, we will contact you via phone and talk with you about the further procedure. We have an attractive total offer which consists of a competitive salary and appealing additional services. You will have many opportunities to develop your personal and professional skills at BASF.

How long does the whole application process take?

In general it takes 2-3 months between a candidate sending the application and receiving the job-offer. The length of time is however influenced by a number of factors and varies depending upon the job posting. For example, finding an interview date can sometimes be complicated since many people are involved; or perhaps you have applied especially early – as a result the process can also take longer.
