VOLVO HIRING PROCESS IN 5 EASY STEPS
1. Explore our job openings
Search for open positions on our website to find a position that suits your qualifications, talents, and aspirations. There are often a wide range of different needs across Volvo Group. We are a global company. Your skillset may be needed at a nearby location, but if you are open to move, we have lots of possibilities and job openings across the world. Every job opening available to external applicants is posted on our webpage.
2. Apply
Always check the job requirement before you apply. Create your personal profile on our website and start your job search right away. Once you find an interesting job opening, click on “Apply” . We recommend that you keep both your resume and cover letter short, specific and clear – maximum one page for cover letter and two for resume. The cover letter is your opportunity to tell us why you are applying for the specific position and why you think you are a perfect match. We have more Volvo applications tips on our website.
You can always update your profile at a later stage. You will receive an email confirmation as soon as we have received your application. We will take the necessary time to study all applications.
3. Interview
If you are being considered for a job, we will meet for a first interview, in person, via video conference, or on the phone. In the current context, we conduct many interviews by video as our priority is to keep our employees and candidates safe. The first interview is our chance to get to know you. We will ask questions about your professional skills as well as your personal traits. We want to know who you are as a person, and how you can contribute to our team.
It is our strong belief that an organization draws strength from different personalities, backgrounds and skills. So, do not be nervous – just be yourself!

Get ready to work in a fast pace environment where we thrive on teamwork, open dialogue and learning every day. We look forward to your contribution to our culture of high performance, to the success of our customers and to making a difference for society. Should the particular position you applied for did not end up as a match, you will be notified.
