JOB FAQ
How does the application procedure work at Native?
+
You will first receive an automatic email confirmation so you can be sure that we successfully received your application material. The relevant hiring manager will carefully check your documents and get in touch as soon as possible with further information.
In some cases we have an initial first HR call with you. In order to get more insight into your skillset, as a next step we prepare an assignment for you to work on and present to us. In most cases the next step is a first interview with the hiring manager – this can be a telephone/Google Hangouts video interview or an on-site meeting in our offices, in order to further discuss your candidacy and the job you applied for. Our first interviews usually take 45 - 60 minutes.
After a successful first interview there will be second interviews with your potential team and peers. Since it is very important to us that you get valuable insights of how our teams and departments work at Native, your second visit at our offices will require a bit more from you. Depending on the complexity and seniority of the position there can be up to three interviews, each one hour long – all in one day.
Once the interview process is complete and all parties involved are positive about the outcome, we will make you an offer :)
Please note that we receive many applications on a daily basis, so we cannot always get back to you straight away. We appreciate your patience and continuing interest in working with us and hope you can wait for us to get back in touch, even if it takes a bit longer – we always will.

Can I apply for a job at Native even if I am not a music producer or DJ myself?
+
Yes, please do! We believe that music plays a role in everyone's life. Just tell us what music means to you – whether it’s hands-on music production/DJing or a genuine inspiration in your life – what's your connection to music?
I don't live in the EU and I don't speak German – will my application still be considered?
+
Of course! Although, for most positions it's necessary to relocate. We are a multi-cultural, international team with colleagues from all over the world and speak many languages at Native. However we decided to choose English as our company language :)
The company language is one thing, however, please note that for some specific positions having knowledge of the German language will be needed. This is due to a specific focus – such as following the standards/laws set in Germany or working with an external German client base. For such positions we will specify in the job description that German is needed.
