Start your application process by sending in your CV, motivation letter (or video), and grade list. We will review your application documents and if we believe that you are a match you will be invited to enter the hiring process.

You will undergo several in-person interviews, either on the same day or spread over a period of time. The interview process can be rigorous, but it’s also meant to give you the opportunity to get to know us better too and see whether there’s a match on both ends. Depending on the role, we will ask you to conduct a specifically designed case study. This way we can assess your skills and you’ll know what to expect when working at Main. We’ll let you know early on about any additional information and materials you’ll need in order for you to be able to prepare well.

Once your interview process and case study are completed, we’ll review everything. Our decision to hire you is based not only on your aptitude and skills, but also on your potential. At Main we foster a learning-working environment. We strive to create opportunities for our employees to develop and grow, and we look for candidates who demonstrate the same drive and enthusiasm.
