Bear in mind that working in a country of intervention is not a trivial decision and requries professional and personal reflection.

Procedure for head office and senior field management positions

If your profile matches Solthis’ needs, you will be invited to take HR and written tests tailored to the position. If successful, you will then be invited to a technical interview, which will determine the final selection.

For expatriates, before the start of the assignment, we try to organise briefings at Solthis head office in Paris as soon as possible. You will meet the various managers within the organization who will introduce you to Solthis, our work, the country of assignment, the assignment and your focal points. You will also meet with the HR manager to review the situation before departure, sign your contract and answer any HR questions.

Upon arrival in the field, you will also receive an induction and a handover, where possible.

For head office employees, a handover or training will be organised at the beginning of the contract.

Procedure for other field positions

Employees with national status whose position is not classified as a senior management position are recruited directly by the teams in the field. Our job offers are advertised locally, but you can also apply by submitting an unsolicited application.

The recruitment procedure is broadly the same as for head office and senior field management positions.
