Frequently asked questions from applicants

• How do I apply?

  Click on the "Apply now" button within the job advertisement. If you cannot find a suitable position, you can send us your documents by clicking on "Unsolicited application" below the job advertisements. To ensure the protection of your personal data, you can only apply via our applicant management system.

• Can I apply for several jobs at the same time?

  Your candidate profile will be created at the same time as your application. You will receive an e-mail to assign a password for the candidate profile. You can then access our Candidate Center to edit and view your data at any time. In this Candidate Center you will also find other job advertisements at GWH and can apply for other positions if you are interested.

• What format and size may file attachments have?

  Please upload your application including cover letter, CV and certificates in a maximum of three PDF files (max. 20 MB and no more than 10 MB per file). Other file formats are not supported.

• How does the application process work?

  After the HR department and the specialist department have reviewed the documents, we will contact suitable applicants to arrange appointments for personal interviews. In exceptional cases, the first interview can also be arranged virtually via WebEx meeting. A second interview or specialist interview may also be necessary.

  A colleague from the HR department, the specialist department and a member of the works council will take part in each interview. If we choose you - and you choose us - you will receive a verbal confirmation and your employment contract shortly afterwards.

• How long does it take before I can expect feedback on my application?

  Our aim is to give you initial feedback on your application after approximately one week. As the number of applications received can vary greatly depending on the job advertisement, we ask for your understanding that a qualified review of the documents and the processing of the applications may take a little longer in individual cases.

• Can you help with the search for an apartment?

  We are happy to offer our employees apartments from our portfolio for rent. In this case, you will not be required to pay a deposit. Please contact us and we will do our best to offer you an apartment that meets your housing needs. Whether and when we can offer you a suitable apartment depends on your housing needs and the availability of suitable apartments.

• I have applied as a janitor (m/f/d). Is it really essential to live in the GWH property to be managed?

  It is not mandatory for our janitors (m/f/d) to live in the portfolio they are responsible for. However, GWH grants a rent discount of 30% of the basic rent for janitors (m/f/d) who live in the housing stock they are responsible for.

• How are the confidentiality and data protection of my application ensured?

  In order to guarantee the protection of your personal data, applications are submitted exclusively via our applicant management system. You can be sure that only those responsible for the application process will have access to your data and documents. Your data will be automatically deleted 6 months after completion of the application process.
