• Recruitment & Selection Process FAQs

  
  Do I have to submit my application exclusively online or may I also submit a hard copy?

  We only accept applications received through ICIQ’s Career Portal. Applications received by email will not be considered.

  Is it possible to apply for more than one opening? May I apply even if I have been considered for an ICIQ opening in the past (i.e., re-application)?

  Yes, you can apply to multiple positions at ICIQ, as long as they fit your profile and you fulfill the requirements.

  Do I receive a confirmation acknowledging reception of my application?

  Yes, you receive an automatic email from the Talent Officer acknowledging the receipt of your application. In the event that you do not receive said email, please ensure it didn’t go to spam or that you entered the correct email address in your application.

  Is it possible to update my personal data or application material? Likewise, will I be able to delete my application (and therefore all personal data)?

  In order to update your personal data, you must contact the People Unit at positions@iciq.es. If you wish to delete your application we can do so from the People Unit, as well as all your personal data. ICIQ complies with the LOPD (Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos – Law for personal data protection). Please refer to ICIQ’s Privacy Policy in our website and in our E-recruitment platform.

  In case of questions - whom shall I contact for help in submitting my application?

  You can contact us at positions@iciq.es.

  Particularly for Masters, PhD and Postdoctoral openings: Is it possible to apply even if I have not yet finished the minimum academic qualification required?

  Yes, you can apply even though you have not yet completed the required degree. Nonetheless, in order to access these positions, you must have completed your degree by the time of the start of the position or programme.

  Applications that need to be supported by reference letters. How should these be submitted?

  Both a list of references or the actual reference letters can be attached to the application. In addition, our e-recruitment tool offers the possibility to include the contact information for referees, who receive an automatic email to confirm their recommendation and the working relationship with the candidate (whether a supervisor, colleague or subordinate). The confirmation of these recommendations will appear in your application file in our e-recruitment platform.

  Will I learn of the selection process result even if I am not selected for the position?

  Yes, we always contact all applicants by email regarding their application status and whether their application has been rejected or not.

  Do you provide feedback to candidates on their application?

  All interviewed candidates receive feedback on their application and the reasons why they were not selected in the end. Candidates who have not reached the interview phase do not receive feedback on their application unless requested.

  Do you provide support in obtaining the work visa and permit for international candidates?

  Yes, once a candidate has been selected, we assist in obtaining the appropriate visa and work permit for future ICIQ workers. Our People Unit works hard to facilitate this process for candidates and their families.
