The number of stages in the recruitment process in the IT industry depends on the job vacancy and the company you want to work for. At ALTEN, the standard recruitment process takes between 2-3 weeks.

According to an IT job market report done in Poland, we note that the optimal recruitment time for candidates would be two weeks. In this sense, the recruiters make every effort to shorten the recruitment process, but often it also depends on the time availability of the candidate, the ALTEN team, the task of the technical test, the negotiation of the contract and various other aspects that cannot be foreseen.

1.  CV review and first contact with the recruiter

Usually, the contact with the recruiter begins when you are notified by him. At this stage, the recruiter has already seen your profile and considers you to be a suitable person for the available role for which ALTEN is looking for new colleagues.
