  • Can I apply at other global IMC offices?

    Under the Vacancies section on our website, you can view all open vacancies per country.  Select the country and then the vacancy. By clicking on ‘Apply’ you will have the opportunity to submit your details and CV directly to the responsible recruiter. Some of the offices have limited opportunities for international hires because of local law regulations.

  • Do I need to speak German to apply with IMC?

    IMC is an international company employing more than 25 nationalities. Our business language is English, therefore we expect all hires to be confident in spoken and written English. For most of our positions German is not a requirement. If it is, it will be mentioned in the vacancy details.

  • I don’t have a Swiss or European passport. Will IMC apply on my behalf for a work permit, visa or residence permit?

    Because of a growing demand for some scarce skills in the Swiss labour market, IMC sometimes needs to recruit candidates from abroad.  If you get hired for one of these vacancies and are not eligible to work in Switzerland, IMC will apply for the relevant permit or visa for you (and your family). Please note that this is not applicable for all vacancies and that IMC cannot guarantee the approval of such a permit or visa.

  • Would I be expected to do any tests as part of the selection procedure?

    This depends on the type of vacancy you applied for.  Testing is a standard part of the selection procedure. You will be informed by the Human Resources Department as to how IMC Zug will be proceeding with your application.

    Tests

    Depending on the vacancy that you applied for, you may be asked to complete a technical test as a first stage of the interview process. You will be informed by the Human Resources Department on how to proceed.

    Interviews

    If your application has been moved to the interview stage you will be contacted by the Human Resources Department. Each vacancy varies differently in regards to the interview stages. You will be informed directly as to how IMC Zug will be proceeding with your application.
