Recruitment: Process and Advice for Applying to SUEZ

At SUEZ, we believe that sustainable recruitment begins with a relationship built on trust.
We value diversity, inclusion and social responsibility at every stage of the candidate journey.
Our process aims to assess your skills, but also your commitment to the environment and your ability to contribute to the ecological transition.

Our recruitment process

Before signing your employment contract and joining the company, there are several steps to follow.

1 >

You submit an application

via our careers website,
through a partner site,
or directly with the human resources department.

2 >

You will be contacted by a recruiter who will ask you questions about your background, profile and motivations, and will give you details about the position and the next steps in the process.

In some cases, they will suggest a personality test, which will enable you to take your discussions with them further and prepare for the next steps.

3 >

If you have passed this crucial first stage and your application is a match, you will be invited to an interview with your future manager and, in some cases, your manager's manager!

At this stage, there may still be several candidates in the running! Be well prepared, be confident in your abilities and, above all, believe in yourself!

4 >

You will be contacted to discuss the outcome of your interview. If you are not selected, this does not call your skills into question: another candidate had that little extra something... next time, it could be you!

If you are selected, you will receive an offer including a contract and remuneration. Once you have accepted, you will set your start date with HR and your future manager before signing your contract and embarking on your new adventure!

How long does this process take?

Each application is given attention. Sometimes it takes several exchanges to move forward together, and that takes time, but don't worry.

At SUEZ, we believe that the more structured the stages are, the better the process! We will do our utmost to ensure that each stage follows the previous one as smoothly as possible and, gives you the best possible visibility on the next steps and decision-making deadlines.

Depending on the position, the process will take between three weeks and one or two months.

What will never change, however, are the principles of fairness and inclusion that we will uphold at every stage, regardless of visible or invisible differences.

Prepare for your interview

Find out about SUEZ: who we are, our purpose, our promise. Write down what motivates you to join us and be ready to share it with the recruiter. Reread the job offer and identify what makes your background valuable. Draw inspiration from your personal experience: your qualities and motivations matter, even if they haven't yet been expressed in a job, that doesn't mean we're not interested in them.

During the interview

Present yourself in relation to the position: the recruiter needs to understand what you have to offer. Explain your understanding of the role, highlight your achievements and be confident in your qualities: you are the right person for the job. Ask questions, rephrase if necessary: this shows your interest. Leave with a clear vision of the position and the conviction that it is right for you. If your situation requires specific adjustments, this is a good time to mention it so that we can ensure you join us in the best possible conditions.

After the interview

Do not hesitate to reiterate your motivation for the position for which you were interviewed. You can do this at the end of the interview if you feel ready, or by sending a message to your recruiter. You can even do both.
