Our application process
How long does the application process take?
Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this because the duration depends on various factors, such as the number of applications received.
As a public employer, we have to comply with legal requirements and collective agreements, which can prolong the process. In addition, the staff council, the women's and equal opportunities officer and, if applicable, the representative body for severely disabled employees are involved in order to ensure a fair procedure.
Can I apply for several jobs at the same time?
Yes, you can apply for any job that interests you. You will not suffer any disadvantages as a result of multiple applications.
However, for each application to be successful, you must meet the requirements profile of the job advertisement.
Can I reapply after a rejection?
Yes, the rejection only applies to the position for which you have applied and does not refer to us as an employer.
I can't find a suitable position for me. What options do I have now?
In this case, you can send us an unsolicited application - also at www.wiesbaden.de/karriere. At the bottom of the page you will find the "Unsolicited application" field. Simply click on it and fill out the form. Please let us know which area of the state capital Wiesbaden you are interested in.
We look forward to receiving your application and will do our best to find a suitable position for you.
