TÜV SÜD applicants’ most common questions

Is there any general advice for applying at TÜV SÜD?
Before applying, you may carefully review the tasks and requirements from a job advertisement and specifically apply for positions that match your skills and interests. Please also ensure that your application data is complete and that your application includes your CV and, if required, your transcripts of grades, certification documents, and letters of references.
What aspects of an application are especially relevant for TÜV SÜD?
At TÜV SÜD we are looking for applicants who love collaborating and can think outside of their own business unit to serve our customers on a global and local level. Making decisions that matter and challenging yourself for society’s sake to leave a mark plays an important role. Facing technical challenges every day to unleash your passion for technology should be also part of your interests. Thus, we prefer that our applicants be informed about our company culture and be able to explain why they would like to work for TÜV SÜD.

How can I apply at TÜV SÜD?
To apply at TÜV SÜD, you must register through our recruitment system. This is necessary to ensure fast and effective processing of your application. Therefore, it is unfortunately not possible to apply by post or mail. We apologize for any inconvenience.
How long does it take to apply?
The application process is straightforward and typically takes no more than 5 minutes. When registering for the first time, you'll be asked to upload your CV, create a secure password, and enter some basic personal details. This one-time setup ensures your profile is complete and allows you to apply more easily in the future.
What kinds of data are needed for applying?
To successfully process your application, we require only a few essential details: your name, email address, and CV. During your first registration, you’ll also be asked to create a secure password and provide basic contact information such as your phone number and country/region. You may optionally upload a cover letter and choose your visibility preferences for recruiters. Additional information – such as education, work experience, or certifications – can be added later in your candidate profile. For some positions, further personal data may be requested if required by local regulations. For more details, please refer to our privacy statement.
Are general / unsolicited applications accepted?

Yes, if unsolicited job postings are published on our job portal, you are of course welcome to apply for them. Please note that unsolicited postings are not available on our job portal at all times.

To submit an unsolicited application, simply create a profile in our application portal and upload your CV. Your profile will be added to our global talent pool. You can decide for yourself how visible your data is, and you may make changes to your candidate profile at any time.

In general, applications for specifically advertised positions have a higher chance of success. We therefore recommend checking the job portal on our website regularly, as new positions are posted on a frequent basis.

Can I save my application and complete it at a later date?
Yes, you can do this if you apply via the candidate account. You may log in to your account subsequently to submit the draft of your application which can be found in the section “Jobs Applied”. For the Quick apply option it does not work – you need to apply at that moment, or the data added will not be saved.
Can I submit several applications at the same time?
Yes, you can. As soon as you create an account in our recruitment system you can easily apply for as many jobs as you like without having to add your data once more. You can choose to update or edit your profile for every single job in your “Candidate Profile”.
Who can I contact concerning a specific job advertisement?
For questions or inquiries concerning a specific job advertisement you can contact the responsible recruiting team mentioned in the job posting or on the local career page. In terms of general questions and inquiries regarding the recruitment system, please contact [email protected].
When will I get feedback regarding my application?
As soon as you submit your application, you will receive an email confirming its receipt. If your application is being considered, you will be able to track its status by logging into our recruitment system and reviewing the section “Jobs Applied”. Our People department carefully assesses each application to make a preliminary decision.
I am disabled. Will I be supported during the application process?
If you have a disability or specific needs, we are committed to supporting you throughout the application process. For example, we can provide barrier-free interview locations or other accommodations as needed. If you would like to request assistance, please contact the local recruiting team. 

Please note that sharing this information is entirely voluntary, will not affect your application in any way, and we will never ask you to disclose it.
How does the application process at TÜV SÜD work?

Once you have found an interesting job posting, please submit your application via our application portal. Your application will then be carefully reviewed by both the recruiting team and the relevant department. If your documents are convincing, we will invite you to an initial interview. Depending on the position and career level, additional interviews or selection processes, such as an assessment center, may follow. The number of interviews and the people involved vary depending on the role.
The application process gives you the opportunity to get to know TÜV SÜD better. Take the chance to ask questions and find out whether the position aligns with your experience and career goals. You can find an overview of the application process here.

Can I be notified when new jobs are available?

Yes, you can receive job alerts. To set the job alert feature, you need to login to our recruitment system and define the types of roles you would like to receive alerts for.

To enable automatic email notifications or to view and manage job profiles, please proceed as follows: In your candidate profile, located in the top right-hand corner, select “Options” and open the drop-down menu. Click on “Job Alerts”. You will then have access to the email notification feature and the various job profiles.

I have applied to TÜV SÜD before. Can I reuse my existing account?

In principle, this is possible. However, we would like to inform you that we migrated to a new application portal in September 2025. If your previous account no longer works for the position you are applying for, this may mean that you need to register again in our new portal. Please also note that we are subject to data retention and deletion periods, which we strictly adhere to. In such cases, it would likewise be necessary to create a new account.

I was referred and received a notification. What do I need to do now?

In the email you received, you’ll find a link to create your candidate profile. Please set a password to complete the registration. Once your profile has been successfully created, go to our external job portal and search for the position you were referred for.

From there, you can submit your official application by clicking the ‘Apply now’ button. After your application has been submitted via your profile, the system will automatically register that you were referred by one of our employees. Our recruiting team will then contact you regarding the next steps.
