Hi,

They usually have several channel of recruitment and some of them have specific timeline (e.g. target school recruitment cycle)

However, all in all, across the different channel you can say that they will recruit the whole year.

Location of interview is quite flexible and with the experience of Covid-19, I am pretty sure video call will be more actively utilized in the future.

Hello there!

The recruitment process is typically carried out during the whole year, but you'd better check with the offices in case something has changed.

You can find the contact information as well as forms for questions on the official websites.

Hello!

I don´t know precisely for ME, but in Europe for folks in your shoes the process is already open and running.

Check with local HR, bust most likely it´s open already.

Hope it helps! Best,

Clara

Sorry, could you please clarify?

What role? From what recruiting channel? During what time of year?

in general, they recruit throughout the year, though some periods (i.e. January) are busier than others.

I mean an entry level position, of course. I will graduate by the summer so what's the closest time stamp for recruiting at that time?
