Scope

By registering your candidate profile in the Kistler talent pool, you provide Kistler with your personal data and state that you are interested in being employed at Kistler.

Your information will be submitted to the Human Resource Department of Kistler and the respective Department Heads in their role as Hiring Managers to discuss your qualifications and to determine how well your application fits the position you have applied for, or possible postings which might present itself in the future. If your application is successful, your data will be used for personnel administration including the establishment of a personnel record and the herewith related management purposes.

In order for you to apply for a position, Kistler will ask you to enter your personal and contact data, work experience, education, competencies, qualifications and job preferences. You may also attach documents to supplement your application data, such as your CV, diplomas and reference letters. Furthermore, job-related questionnaires may be integrated into the application process.
