Therefore, they can be very difficult to reach by phone and do not have the opportunity to receive unannounced personal visits. Therefore, it is important that you make a good and fair presentation of yourself and your experiences in your application.
- You will receive a confirmation by e-mail to the address you specified in the application. Make sure you enter a valid email address. Have a look in your spam folder – sometimes the confirmation mail can end up there.
- No, unfortunately we cannot make such promises.
- We appreciate if you attach a copy of your grade (and driver’s license) with your application.
- Yes, you need to apply again. Then we will know that you are interested in working with us again.
- No, at the moment you can not expect help with housing. You can, however, stand in the housing queue at local housing companies or via LKAB Fastigheter.
- We will contact you by phone and sometimes by mail if we want to meet you for an interview. If we choose a different applicant, you will receive an email thanking you for your interest.
- We look at education, skills and experience. We prioritize educational grades and a Swedish category B driver’s license as a minimum.
- The length of the recruitment process varies. If we decide to call you to an interview, we will contact you personally.
- The supported browsers are Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. The application page also requires that you allow cookies on your browser. Contact us via rekrytering@lkab.com if it still does not work or you get an error message.
- We usually wait until the last application day has passed before we make a selection and contact those we want to meet for an interview. If we make an ongoing selection, we will inform about this in the advertisement.
After selection, we call for interviews. How many people we call varies. After the interview, it’s time for references. Some vacancies also require tests – sometimes the tests come before the references, sometimes after. It depends on what kind of job it is. Before offering employment, we will also make sure that you have a physical examination. We wait until the recruitment process is complete before informing other candidates that they were unsuccessful. - In the first interview you will usually get to meet one of our employees at HR and the recruiting manager. The length of the interview depends on the job in question and can last within 60 minutes and two hours. The interview takes place either at our premises or at a digital meeting place.
- You can email us directly at rekrytering@lkab.com. If you have specific questions about the job you have applied for, you can contact the recruiting manager directly – contact information can be found in the respective advertisement for each job.
- It depends on the type of job you have applied for, but within six and twelve weeks is the most common. Sometimes things happen that make it take longer, and sometimes things go more quickly. Some jobs require tests and that can mean that it takes longer. At LKAB Malmtrafik we have a security service and every recruitment takes longer because there is a security examination and several stages of tests.
- We operate in a changing environment and we support and encourage the development and careers of all our employees.
- There are many different people working with recruitment at LKAB – to be sure that we consider you for other roles, it is best that you submit a new application for each one. We welcome your application once again!
