We do not require a letter of motivation, as we prefer to read your answers to our questions about the relevant vacancy in the application tool.
4. Getting to know you
Congratulations for winning us over with your application! We would like to invite you to a first interview.
For some functions and positions, we ask you to complete a personality questionnaire first. We will discuss the results with you in the interview.
In some cases, there is an initial video interview to which we invite you via e-mail and advise you about the procedure.
5. One step nearer to the finish line - the second interview
Into the second round – we’d like to get to know you a bit better. The second interview will be organized individually depending on the job. Perhaps you will get to know your future team, work on a case study or take part in an assessment center.
6. Pre-employment screening: Checking your details
We check your application details using various criteria to make sure they are correct. To do this, we need reference information as well as an up-to-date extract from the criminal register. We’ll discuss the details with you personally.
7. Welcome on board!
Congratulations: You have won us over with your personality and skills, and your employment contract is on its way to you. You can look forward to an exciting, challenging and successful time at AXA where together we’ll work on new opportunities and solutions for our customers. Know you can!

You can apply directly online for the job that interests you. Simply click here on the “Apply online now” button in the relevant job advertisement.
In just a few steps, you can then upload your application details into our application tool as PDF file. We can assess your application better if it’s complete. We cannot accept any e-mail applications for data protection reasons.
We do not need a letter of motivation. After you have registered in the application tool, we ask you specific questions about your application. This speeds up the pre-selection process and gives us a good impression of your motivation, expectations and core skills.
You will find the specific requirements in the respective job advertisement. We make decisions based on your knowledge, qualifications and professional experience relevant for the job as well as your development potential. It is also important for us that you fit in with AXA and our culture.
It varies depending on the position. The recruitment process lasts on average between eight and twelve weeks. We normally need around two to three weeks for the pre-selection process. We place great emphasis on carrying out the pre-selection process quickly and professionally and on meticulously checking all applications. We kindly ask for your patience at this point, as the process can sometimes be delayed. You will then be informed either personally or via e-mail about what the next steps will be.
Receiving a rejection is frustrating and can sometimes be hard to understand. Unfortunately we cannot accept all applications and have to concentrate on the applicants who in our view will be best suited to the job. We’re sorry to have disappointed you. Maybe you’ll find another job on our “Job vacancies” page that could interest you? You can also activate a job subscription so that you don’t miss any jobs.
The aim of the first interview is for both sides to get a personal first impression. This is the opportunity to highlight your motivation to us and show us your skills and experience for the vacant position. In return, you’ll find out more from us about the aim of the job, the tasks, any opportunities for professional development within AXA and what we can offer you as an employer.
You will get to meet your future direct line manager at this interview. Depending on the position to be filled, the responsible Recruiting Manager is also there and conducts the interview. A first interview normally lasts between 60 to 90 minutes.
Our tip:
Be open and honest in the interview! This is the only way of finding out whether you fit in with AXA and vice versa. It’s important for you to have a good feeling for a successful relationship.
For some jobs, you will also receive a link to a personality questionnaire with the invitation to the interview. We kindly ask you to complete it beforehand and return it to us. We’ll give you the results beforehand and discuss them in the interview. This questionnaire is not a classic test, but a self-assessment. It takes around 20 minutes to answer the questions.
We conduct a video interview depending on the job. You’ll receive an e-mail invitation from us. The video interview is pre-recorded and can be completed by you online wherever you are. We use it to ask you a few questions. The video helps you show yourself in a better light compared to a written application.
You have the option of asking the recruitment team questions either on the “Job vacancies” page or directly in the job advertisement of the advertised position. These will be answered in real time. Please note that we can only service the chat facility during office hours.
If you have any specific questions on an advertised position, you can get in touch directly with the responsible contact person.
Your details and application documentation you have entered or uploaded to the AXA application platform will be automatically deleted or anonymized six months after the end of the application process.
