Application process and selections

At Konecranes, summer trainees are always selected by hiring managers, who will screen the applications, interview the candidates and evaluate your skills and competencies for the position. All applications will be screened at the end of the application period at latest.

The hiring manager selects the potential candidates and invites them for an interview to discuss the candidate's skills, interests as well as content of the assignment. After that the hiring manager usually makes decisions about summer trainees.

In some cases (such as factories), the application process may also include, for example, group interviews, where you will receive separate instructions if needed. We also may utilize online video interviews via Teams. We will inform all candidates of the outcome of each individual recruitment process in the end of March.
