We believe that starting your journey with Framna should feel simple. Whether it’s through a LinkedIn application that tells your professional tale, a CV that showcases your achievements, or an open application via email to jobs@se.framna.com, we are excited to hear from you.

But what if you do not see an open role on our career page that fits your profile? That is where our connect feature comes into play. This feature essentially allows us to contact you for future roles matching your passions and professional ambitions, and for you to receive updates whenever we post something new.

At Framna Sweden, we believe in the power of personal stories and experiences. Our interview process goes beyond traditional assessments to truly understand who you are and what you bring to the table. Our Competence-Based Interviewing, aligned with the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) approach, delves deep into your past experiences, focusing on how you have navigated challenges, resolved problems, and made impactful decisions.

The rationale behind this technique is grounded in scientific evidence, showing that understanding a candidate’s behavior and thought processes provides a deeper insight into their capabilities and potential. It is not just about assessing your past achievements; it’s about understanding you as a person in a workplace and your potential beyond your CV.

In summary, in our interviews, it is not just about the technical expertise or the right buzzwords. We want to uncover how your unique journey and perspectives shape you professionally. How have you applied your strengths in real-world situations? What lessons have you learned along the way? This is a chance for us to learn how your individual experiences and skills resonate with our needs at Framna.

If you wish to learn more about what a competency-based interview is like, we have created a guide to help you prepare here.

At Framna Sweden, our interview process consists of a few different well-crafted steps, designed for us to mutually get to know each other. We employ various types of stages so that we don’t just evaluate one aspect. Instead, you get to showcase who you are in multiple stages, ensuring that we don’t get fixated on how you perform in a single scenario but rather on a comprehensive view of your skills and capabilities. Here is a detailed roadmap of the steps you can expect:

Your first step is usually an introductory meeting with our recruiter. This is where you will get a taste of the Framna culture and learn about our projects, partnerships, and the various paths for growth and development within our company. We are keen on understanding your professional background and aspirations, as well as sorting out practical details like notice periods.

Expect a warm, conversational atmosphere to set the tone. In some cases, we use Evali, a personality and logic test, to provide a foundation for our discussion, focusing more on who you are as a person and giving every candidate a fair chance, free from bias. This introduction includes both soft skills and competency-based interview questions to gauge your personal fit and individuality.

Next, we would like to go deeper into your previous experience and competencies. You might find yourself discussing your craft with fellow engineers or presenting your creative portfolio if you are in design. This stage is all about how your unique skills and experiences align with the positions we have here at Framna, as well as the specific challenges within your field. It is important to note that this step varies from role to role. You can always see a detailed description of the hiring process in the job ad for the position.

Having shone in the previous stage, you will engage in a case interview with potential future colleagues. This interactive session is designed to simulate real-life scenarios and tasks, offering both you and us a glimpse into your potential future role here at Framna. It is also an opportunity for mutual assessment and learning the team’s dynamics. This could be a coding assignment, designing some wireframes, testing an app, or any other activity related to the role you are applying for.

We value a thorough understanding of your professional history. Hence, we conduct a comprehensive reference check, speaking with former colleagues, managers, and subordinates to paint a complete picture of your work style and collaborative approach.

At Framna Sweden, you will work in an agile cross-functional team with developers, designers, QA, analysts, and product leads, taking ideas from discovery to shipped products.

You will also be part of a local community of people with similar skillsets and specialty competences, collaborating closely to share knowledge, challenge perspectives, and develop your craft. On top of that, you will also be connected to a broader global community.

We believe the best roles are shaped by the people in them. If you are curious about something, you will have the trust and space to chase it, and probably a few teammates who want to jump in with you.
