Frequently asked questions

If you have not found a suitable position, please send your complete application, stating your preferred location, to karriere@thost.de.

If the job postings or positions differ significantly, this is possible. We review your application company-wide, based on your preferred locations. You do not need to apply for each individual location, as we will centrally assign your application to your preferred areas from our office in Pforzheim.
You can specify as many preferred locations as you like in the application form. Alternatively, you can also use your email or cover letter to let us know your preferred locations or positions.

For a complete application we need:

1. A detailed curriculum vitae
2. Final certificates incl. overview of grades
3. Work and internship references
4. Certificates etc.

A cover letter is the icing on the cake and rounds off your application.

The position is still available as long as it is advertised on our homepage www.thost.de and the “Apply now” button is working.

We would prefer to receive your documents in German, however, for international positions, we are also happy to accept them in English.

This letter is not a rejection. Your profile is very interesting, but we do not currently have any suitable projects or opportunities for you. As we can imagine working with you in the future, we would like to keep your documents for consideration for future Projects. Due to the General Data Protection Regulation, we are obliged to inform you in detail, which is why the letter is extensive.

True to the motto “twice is better”: some e-mail providers block e-mails from our database. For this reason, we send you a second e-mail via Outlook with some e-mail providers to ensure that you receive all the important information.

Of course, we would like to get to know you personally, and you will certainly want to see our office and your future workplace. That’s why we always invite you to one or sometimes two personal interviews.

Interviews via MS Teams minimize travel distances, reduce the time required and contribute to environmental protection.

Telephone interviews help our managers to make a decision and clarify specific questions about your application in advance, such as your preferred location.

The interviews will be conducted by our specialists and managers. You are welcome to enquire about the expected participants after receiving the invitation. Due to the dynamic nature of the project business, participants sometimes change at short notice, which is why we cannot provide any binding information.

The salutation “Dear Sir or Madam” is perfectly acceptable to us, as your application will be processed by a team and there is therefore no specific contact person. If you have come to us via a personal contact, you are welcome to mention this in your cover letter.

You can apply at any time, there are no fixed start dates at THOST. We recommend submitting your application around four months before your desired start date. Please also take into account your individual notice period.

We use the applicant management system “onlyfy one” (by XING) to manage your application efficiently and securely.

What does this mean for you? If you receive a notification that your personal profile has been created on the onlyfy one (by XING) platform, this means that your application has been successfully added to our database.

Your data is secure with us and will never be published on Xing. It is accessible only to authorized personnel at THOST Projektmanagement GmbH via the applicant tracking system. This is how we ensure the protection of your personal information throughout the entire application process.

Our recruiting team will guide you through the entire application process. We manage all applications from our national and international Locations centrally at our headquarters in Pforzheim.

Steps in the application process:

• Confirmation of receipt: You will receive a confirmation from us upon receipt of your application.
• Telephone interview: If required, we will conduct a telephone interview with you to get to know you better.
• Communication with the recruiting team: Until the interview with the specific department (via Microsoft Teams), our recruiting team manages all communication.
• Job interview: During the interview, you will get to meet the responsible specialists and managers in person.

Contact the Recruiting Team:
Since we are a large team with many applicants, working students, and trainees, you will have several points of contact throughout the application process. You can reach us centrally via the application hotline (07231 – 1560-888) or by email (karriere@thost.de).

Duration of the application process:
The entire application process takes approximately 6 weeks from the date of confirmation of receipt. In some cases, it may be faster; in others, there may be delays. In such cases, you will receive an interim notification, and you are welcome to inquire about the status of your application at any time.
