Nothing for you? ![Arrow](/wp-content/themes/xtrade-sgr/pic/icon_pfeil.svg)
We are looking for you as a person, not a perfect resume.
Perfection is quickly boring; we are looking for people who do things because they make sense to them and are fun, not because they look good on a resume.
We are looking for you as a skilled individual, not a preserver.
For us, commitment, responsibility, and competence count – not hours worked or how long you have been with us. We want you to ask yourself every day, „What would I do if it were my company? How would I decide and why?“ and act accordingly.
We are looking for you as an improver, not a preventer.
Ideas are more important to us than hierarchies. We want you to be honest and critical. If you disagree, you have the responsibility to speak up.
