Recruiting process

Do the talks take place on site?

Our interview process is just like our work model: flexible!
We tailor the process to your personal needs and would be happy to meet with you virtually and/or at our beautiful office in Munich’s Werksviertel!

How does the recruiting process work at JSMD?

Our recruiting process is primarily designed to determine whether your values and ours, our respective professional approaches, and our mutual expectations regarding development and your role align within our growing and innovative company. To that end, we invite you to participate in the following recruiting experience:

#1 Check-in with your Recruiter:

In a first interview with your recruiter, you can ask all your questions about our company and our culture. To get to know you better and find out if you are a good fit for our company, you will be invited to talk about your previous work experience and your personal values. It's important to us that you only reveal as much about yourself as you want and feel comfortable with.

#2 Face the Challenge:

Your chance to show what you’re made of!
The technical interview gives you the opportunity to meet your potential manager and serves as a deep dive into the technical aspects of the role, allowing you both to explore the day-to-day work and the challenges of the position.
Depending on the position, we may include a case study. It is designed to analyze real-world problems you might encounter in your potential day-to-day work, develop solution strategies, and derive sound recommendations. This helps us determine whether our work styles and approaches complement each other well.

#3 Meet the Team (optional)

The optional team meeting is designed to give you the chance to meet other team members and get a feel for the company culture as well as the workspace where you’d be spending a lot of your time. It’s also an opportunity for the team to get to know you and see if you’d be a good fit for the team.

#4 Final Call: your contract offer

We've managed to convince each other to take on the next adventure together? Great!
In a final call, we'll walk you through not only the contractual details but, most importantly, the next steps leading up to your successful start with us.

Onboarding

What is the onboarding process at JSMD?

To ensure that you have a successful start with us, we have of course thought of a few things for your start.

At the start itself, the "First Day" awaits you as a new starter, where you receive all the important information about our company, the culture and the way we work together through various presentations. Of course, you can also get to know new colleagues directly in the morning.

In your initial phase, you will also be assigned a buddy who will be there to answer all your questions. The induction process varies depending on your role and department, but generally includes orientation meetings, specialist training and the opportunity to network with other colleagues and to get to know and arrive at us as a company.

That's because our goal is to equip you, as a new employee, with the tools and resources you need to become comfortable with your responsibilities and feel part of the JSMD team.

What is actually meant by the Buddy Program?

So that you are not alone with your open questions at the beginning, you will be assigned a buddy for the first few months. On the one hand, your buddy will support you in familiarizing yourself with your business area and your tasks. He or she will also help you to find your way around the company and to network with important contacts.

Is it possible to work remotely as well?

Remote work has already become an established part of our corporate culture. We meet in the office two days a week to strengthen team spirit. The rest of the time, you’re free to choose whether you’d like to work in our modern office or remotely. We want to offer this flexibility to our employees to help them achieve a healthy work-life balance.

Is it also possible to work remotely abroad for a time?

Now that mobile working is firmly established at our company, the demand to work temporarily from abroad has also increased. We are therefore pleased to be able to offer our employees the option of mobile working from 25 EU countries for up to 30 days a year. This gives them real flexibility in their working day.

What are my working hours at JSMD?

We have a 40-hour work week, which is regulated as trust-based working hours. Our goal is to create a pleasant and productive working environment that allows our employees to balance their personal and professional commitments. In this context, the trust-based working hours provide the necessary flexibility for our employees.

Of course, there is also the possibility to perform the role part-time in consultation with the department.

Development

How will I be supported in my personal and professional personnel development?

Let's grow together - This approach to personnel development is very important to us, which is why you will discuss your personal development together with your manager at least twice a year in a performance review.

Good personnel development naturally also includes a wide range of further training opportunities. As a subsidiary of ProSiebenSat.1 Media, we can offer our employees a wide range of different training courses, allowing you to excel both professionally and personally.

In addition, we also offer our employees the opportunity to continuously develop themselves on various topics that are of interest in their daily work via LinkedIn Learning.

Does JSMD support me in learning languages?

In addition to our group language courses, we also offer our employees the opportunity to improve their language skills with the help of the 1:1 learning platform PREPLY.

Young Professionals

Can I apply for an internship of less than 3 months or a student internship?

We offer mandatory internships, the length of which depends on your study regulations, as well as voluntary internships up to a maximum duration of 3 months.

Our goal is to provide our interns with a deeper insight into operational processes so that they can also take on their own areas of responsibility or projects. Therefore, it is possible to combine a mandatory internship with a directly subsequent voluntary internship. The prerequisite for an internship is a current certificate of enrollment (exception: orientation internship before the start of studies).

Unfortunately, a student internship is not possible with us. You can find all open internships in our job market.

I am looking for a position as a working student. In which areas and under which conditions is this possible with you?

We are regularly looking for working students for all business areas and correspondingly from various fields of study. The prerequisite is that you are a full-time student and can present a current certificate of enrollment.

You can find open working student positions in our job market.

I am looking for a dual study program or an apprenticeship. When, for which professions/study programs and how can I apply?

We offer apprenticeships in the following professions:

You can find our open apprenticeship positions in our job board. There, you can apply directly online. During your apprenticeship, you’ll be assigned to a permanent “core team,” but you’ll also have the opportunity to get to know different departments. This will give you a comprehensive insight into your career opportunities at JSMD.

Note: We do not currently offer dual degree programs.

I would like to write my bachelor's or master's thesis. Can I apply for it and what do I need for it?

We are always delighted to hear from interested parties who find us so attractive as a company that they proactively apply to us with an exciting topic - this fits in very well with our corporate culture. Simply upload your application documents, including your idea for a suitable topic for your thesis, under "Enter speculative application". Our HR team will then check whether there is a suitable need in our company for your idea and will of course get back to you.

Where can I turn if I have questions about training, internships, etc.?
