Application process

The application process at Elma consists of several steps. Our goal is to make the process transparent and to provide the applicant with quick feedback. You can submit your application directly online to us and will receive a confirmation of receipt by email immediately. After we have received your application, it will be reviewed by our HR department, and we will then inform you about possible next steps accordingly.


In principle, we advertise all open positions. If you do not find a suitable advertised position but would still like to apply to us, you can take advantage of the opportunity for a speculative application. To find a suitable employment opportunity for you, we recommend that you specify your desired area of activity and possible tasks as accurately as possible.

Onboarding and Mentoring

To make you feel welcome from the very beginning, we will guide you through a structured onboarding process from day one. You will get to know your new colleagues, our corporate culture, and all important processes – step by step and without pressure.


A personal mentor will be by your side in the first few months, answering your questions and helping you settle in quickly. This way, you will become part of the team and find your way not only professionally but also personally.
