Arriving at LIST
Your Onboarding
The contract is signed—now what? We won't leave you to fend for yourself. Our onboarding process ensures that you get off to a good start and quickly become part of the team.
Before your first day:
At least one week before you start, you'll receive all the details: When does it start? Where do you need to go? Who will be there to greet you? That way, you can start off feeling relaxed instead of stressed.
Your first day:
On your first day, you’ll be greeted personally and given a tour of the office. You’ll meet your team, set up your workspace, and receive your IT equipment—laptop, login credentials, and everything else you need. And, of course, you’ll have lunch with the team.
The first few weeks:
During your first few weeks, you'll get up to speed—with support. You'll be paired with a buddy or mentor who will help you with any questions you have. E-learning modules will help you get familiar with our processes and tools.
Week 3: Trip to Nordhorn:
During the third week, you'll travel to Nordhorn for our group-wide onboarding program. Over the course of two days, you'll get to know LIST, meet other new hires from all locations, participate in training sessions, and build your network.
The First Few Months:
After about 100 days, at the end of the probationary period, we’ll hold feedback sessions. We want to know how you’re doing—and we want you to know where you stand. Open communication from the very beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About the Application
Do I need a cover letter?
No, a resume is enough to start with. But if you'd like to tell us something that isn't in your resume—please do!
How long does the process take?
That depends entirely on the position and the circumstances—it wouldn’t be fair to give a one-size-fits-all answer. Here’s what we promise: You’ll always know where you stand. We’ll keep you updated, let you know when you can expect feedback, and if you have any questions, we’re always easy to reach. With us, you won’t be left hanging.
Can I apply for more than one job?
Apply for the position that best suits you—and if, while reviewing your application, we realize that you’d be an even better fit somewhere else, we’ll get in touch. If you’re interested in multiple positions, just mention it briefly in your cover letter or reply to our confirmation email. We’ll then make sure your application is forwarded to the right department.
What if there aren't any suitable job openings online?
Then send us a speculative application. We’re always looking for talented people—and sometimes a position doesn’t even exist until the right person comes along.
How does the interview work?
A relaxed atmosphere where we're on equal footing. We'll address each other informally, ask you about your background and what motivates you—and you can ask us anything you want to know. It's not an interrogation, but a chance to really get to know each other.
Is remote work possible?
Are there entry-level opportunities for students?
