- Your Application
Filling out our application form takes less than ten minutes: We don’t expect a cover letter but are happy if you briefly tell us something about yourself and your motivation. First, however, we do need your resume, including work-/ educational certificates. To figure out right at the start whether the general conditions work for both sides, we will ask for your possible start date as well as salary expectations. After submitting your application, you will receive a confirmation of receipt on the same day.
3. First Interview
Once we have gained a great first impression from your documents, we will invite you to a digital session via Zoom. this will usually take up to 90 minutes. In most cases, one person from our People & Culture team plus one from the respective department will be present. The primary goal of the first interview is to get to know each other better, to openly align our expectations, and to get an initial feel for your professional skills.
4. Second Interview
If the first interview was successful, the next step is your second and final interview. We would be happy to welcome you to our office. If necessary, a digital interview is also an option. In addition to getting to know you better, the next step is to get a more comprehensive impression of your skills and, at the same time, give you the opportunity to get to know esome and the corresponding position better. Therefore, 48 hours before your interview, you will be sent a practical task to work on. We will then look at your results together during the interview.
5. Decision
It’s a match!? Perfect! You will promptly receive our call, in which we will tell you more about our offer and all the essential details. In addition, we will send you a contract draft by mail. As soon as you have signed your contract, we look forward to welcoming you as a new esomie to our team!
FAQ
For your application at esome, you don’t need to write a cover letter. Instead, just answer our two motivational questions in advance. We also look forward to receiving your CV, including work and training references (plus your graduation certificate). By stating your desired start date and salary expectations, we know immediately whether the general conditions fit.
We usually send confirmations of receipt within 24 hours after receiving the application. If you do not receive one within this period, please check your spam folder first.

Internships that last less than six months can be offered if you consider staying at esome afterward.

Be yourself! We want to get to know you personally and have a conversation at eye level to determine if you fit into our esome team. In return, you can see whether esome appeals to your ideas of an employer. It is important to us to understand what has motivated your development so far, why you think you would be a good fit for esome, and your expectations of the job and the working environment.
The first round of talks usually takes place digitally to keep the effort for both sides as low as possible. For you, this means that you don’t have to worry about traveling. Instead, we will send you a dial-in link (including access code) by e-mail in advance, which you only need to open at the start of the meeting. Then, we will happily invite you to our office for your second call.
Our motto is: Come as you are!
It is important to us that everyone feels comfortable. That’s why we don’t have a set dress code for esomies or applicants.
We are happy to invite applicants to our office (Hohe Bleichen 11, 20354 Hamburg) for a second interview. There are many different ways to reach our office in the heart of Hamburg:
- If you travel by public transport, you can choose between the stations Jungfernstieg, Gänsemarkt, Stadthausbrücke and Stephansplatz. From all stations, the office is just a few minutes’ walk away.
- You are also welcome to come by car. If possible, we will reserve one of our spaces in the underground car park for you.
- Or you can safely park your bike in front of the office or in our underground car park at one of the numerous bike racks.
In the first few weeks, you will go through our onboarding concept, either analog or digital. In addition to familiarizing yourself with the team, supervised working, and learning by doing, the process includes many exciting workshops with colleagues from all departments. To get to know others more effortlessly, we ensure enough opportunities for coffee dates and network possibilities with colleagues.
Most esomies currently work remotely. We understand that all employees are doing their best – from the office, home, or any other location. At the same time, we know that life circumstances change, and flexible working conditions help us adapt to the “new normal.” That’s why we want to continue to make working at esome as flexible as possible. It is up to all esomies – depending on certain conditions – to decide on their working hours as well as location, ensuring that neither their work nor the team suffers from it. Nevertheless, it is important to us that the individual teams meet regularly. The exact form of this is left up to the teams themselves.
The community has always been part of our identity and should remain so in the future. That’s why we put much effort into supporting you when arriving here and connecting you with your colleagues. With the help of our buddy program, changing coffee dates, sports as well as team events, plus company celebrations, we stay connected and create memorable experiences.
Our career paths are not fixed; development at esome is individual. You determine the pace and direction of your development according to your individual motives and in close cooperation with your team lead. To support you in taking your next steps, we have created various formats. One of them is the esome Academy. In this format, different colleagues prepare training sessions once a week for everyone interested. Among other things, technical capabilities and soft skills as well as industry knowledge and professional skills are taught and trained.
