1. Do you collaborate with technical and professional institutes?
Yes, we have actually set up a convention with these Institutes which provides for guided tours of our company, the assignment of projects and the carrying out of internships. Every year our company accommodates a high number of students so that they can integrate the theory they have studied with practical experience. We offer our interns the possibility of working within our operating areas under the guidance of internal tutors. If you are interested, ask about this at your college or contact us. See the internship offers.
2. Is there the possibility for undergraduates who intend to graduate/qualify to carry out an internship with you? Yes, we believe that this is an opportunity to enter into the reality of the world of work. We regularly welcome school-leavers/graduates and suggest interesting arguments to them for their theses. We place our premises at their disposal and offer constant support. If you are interested in our proposals send us an application, otherwise send us your research project. It is interesting to know that this initiative has led to the employment of many students. See the internship offers.
3. Is it possible to carry out an apprenticeship with you following graduation?
Yes. We also operate by means of conventions with the Universities to allow recent graduates/engineers to carry out work experience which is valid and in conformity with requirements. This experience allows for the in-depth examination of arguments which have already been studied on a purely theoretical basis and to apply the subjects studied in a more concrete environment.
As set out by the regulations in force, its duration cannot exceed twelve months; all areas of the company are interested in this form of collaboration. See the internship offers..
4. Where is it possible to consult the job opportunities available at Fosber?
Our job offers can be consulted on our website www.fosbergroup.com in the "Careers" section where you can find online application forms.
5. How often are the job opportunities updated?
Apart from the review of the job offers with a monthly expiry date, there are positions which are practically always open due to the constant needs which characterise our business.
6. Do you collaborate with employment agencies?
Yes. We collaborate with many employment agencies in order to meet any peaks in work demand. Our data shows that employment via an employment agency represents a huge opportunity to subsequently join the Fosber family on a permanent basis.
7. Where is it possible to find information regarding the pay scales of the various positions?
Our reference contract is the C.C.N.L. (National Collective Employment Contract) for the metal and mechanical industry and plant installation which is integrated by the company contract..
8. How are recent graduates, college and school-leavers placed?
In the case of recent graduates, college and school-leavers a structured career path is set out which in a brief period of time allows for the attainment of a position suited to the level of studies carried out. Following this automatic procedure further career progressions are then commensurate with the effort and the skills of the individual. Then every year Fosber carries out an annual review where the commitment and effectiveness of each individual in the company is attentively and impartially evaluated. Based on this review Fosber is fully committed to recognising career advancements and bonuses to further boost the motivation of our workforce and so the overall competitiveness of the company.
9. Is it possible to apply even though there are no positions available?
Yes absolutely. Send us your application at any time. Your curriculum will be taken into consideration as soon as a position is available.
10. Does the company only employ persons with experience?
No, not at all. Our policy leads us to prefer persons without experience in order to be able to mature them within the company. A demonstration of this is represented by the procedure which is followed the moment from which positions of a certain level become available. In these cases we proceed towards true and proper internal selection in order to give due preference to our staff, favoring growth from within the structure.
11. Who do I send my application to?
This information can be found in the section application online.
12. Is there a deadline for the presentation of applications?
No, except in the case of particular selections to meet urgent needs, in this case the term is specified on the profile page of the researched position, which you can find from the open position section.
13. How much time should pass before I reach the conclusion that I will not be offered an interview?
It is our intention to guarantee a quick and punctual response to all those who apply. Nevertheless, if you do not receive a reply within 45 days from the date you sent your application, you should conclude that you have been unsuccessful.
Your details however will be stored in our data base which is constantly updated each time you inform us of any changes. Therefore we advise you to keep your details constantly up to date by informing us of each and any change. (Update your details).
14. On what basis are applications selected?
Our recruitment process is quite simple, consisting of interviews with people from different backgrounds and different visions of their work, followed by the notification of the selection outcome.
15. What characteristics does the ideal candidate possess
It is not easy to define them since the individual characteristics sought after vary (sometimes even substantially) from position to position. First of all, we prefer to place young people (this is our main prerogative in the selection process).
Independently of the position to be filled, in each collaborator, we also look for:
- honesty (upright, well-balanced people who are transparent in their attitudes both with regards to internal and external relations);
- motivation (willingness to put oneself to the test and constantly improve, people who believe in what we believe in);
- ambition (we prefer candidates with high expectations rather than those who tend to be satisfied with what they already have);
- flexibility (in terms of duties, hours, objectives);
- entrepreneurial spirit (every collaborator must consider themselves an entrepreneur in their field);
- knowledge of foreign languages (in particular English and Spanish).
Candidates who present for interview in a docile manner, those who do not believe in their abilities/qualities and above all those who do not know how to set themselves medium to long-term objectives are not well received.
16. In the event that an interview does not have a positive outcome do you inform the interviewees? Yes, always. In the event of a negative outcome the personal details obtained are inserted and kept in Fosber database. In this way the candidate in question will be taken into consideration again amongst any other applicants in the event that Fosber is searching for additional personnel with a professional role more in line with the candidate's profile.
17. Who should I refer to for ulterior clarification? If you have any queries you can send us an e-mail to the following address risorseumane@fosber.it, or you could telephone at 0583-3891.
18. How would you define the Fosber company atmosphere? A young, informal and dynamic environment, where relationships, at all levels, are based on reciprocal transparency and honesty. Our principal characteristics are flexibility, team spirit, professionalism and the willingness to constantly change.
