The relevant contact people aren’t always named in our job advertisements. However, please be assured that your application will automatically be sent to the person responsible.

9. How can I submit a speculative application?

All vacant positions are published in our jobs overview section. Applications for specific positions are therefore generally more successful than speculative applications. It is only when we advertise a position that we actually have a current need for people. However, if you still wish to register speculatively for positions that become available in the future you are welcome to create a candidate profile. As soon as you have approved your profile we can see it and take it into consideration for suitable positions.

10. What are the benefits of registering a candidate profile?

A candidate profile enables you to take advantage of the many benefits of the online applicant service:

• Create, manage and update your own profile
• Search for open positions and apply online
• Set up job alerts for positions that match your profile

 

11. How long will my candidate profile remain online?

If you do not access your profile within a twelve month period. you will receive an e-mail informing you that it will shortly be deactivated. If you then log in again it will remain active for the next twelve months.

12. How long can I keep up to date with news about vacant positions?

If you have created a candidate profile you can set up job alerts that match your profile. But even without a candidate profile you can set up a job agent that will notify you via e-mail about new positions that match your search criteria.

Visit our job search section to create a job agent and start by entering your search criteria. In a second step you can then set this as a job agent and select how often you wish to receive notifications.

For security reasons it may not be the same as one of your last five passwords. Please note down the new password as it will not be sent separately by e-mail.

To change your user name, log into your candidate profile and click on “Manage profile” and then “Change user name.” This will also not be confirmed via e-mail.

17. What should I do if I experience technical problems during the online application?

We recommend that you perform a diagnosis by taking the following steps:

a) Check whether you can access other web pages. If yes, please note the error message you receive when trying to access our site.

b) If you see a message such as “network error message” it could be that you are visiting our site from a company network that blocks access.

c) If individual content such as job advertisements or the candidate overview is not clearly presented, this could be due to the pop-up blocker in your browser being activated. We recommend turning off the blocker by changing the browser settings.

For security reasons you will automatically be logged out of the system if you remain inactive for a period of 30 minutes.

If you continue to have technical problems, please send an e-mail with a description and screenshot of the problem to e.careers@richemont.com (If you can’t see this address, you must approve JavaScript in your browser)

18. How secure is my personal information?
