Of particular relevance to us are:

- Authenticity and personality
- Good preparation for DORDA and the interview
In addition to professional qualifications, we look for people who want to contribute their strengths, assume responsibility and add to our open, team-oriented culture.
Good grades and relevant previous experience can be an advantage, but are not decisive in every case.
What matters is the overall picture. Alongside professional qualifications, we place particular value on motivation, personality and a convincing explanation of your interest in the position.
If your academic results are below average or your CV contains significant gaps, we recommend explaining the background openly and clearly in your cover letter.
If specific experience is required, it is explicitly stated in the job advertisement.
Our application process is respectful and generally consists of two rounds of interviews.
The aim is to get to know each other and determine whether there is a good professional and personal fit. In the first round, you meet representatives of our Recruiting team; interviews for legal positions are conducted by partners. You gain insight into DORDA, the position and our way of working. In the second round, you meet the relevant manager and/or future colleagues from the team. Depending on the position, additional or different steps may apply. The conversations focus on your qualifications, motivation, expectations, personality and working style, while also giving you the opportunity to learn more about the role and DORDA as an employer.
