Our interview process varies depending on the role and location. We try to keep it brief while still getting to know each other well.
Most interviews are held online on MS Teams since our teams are spread across three locations. We might also invite you to our office for an in-person interview if the hiring team is all in one place.
Depending on the role, you can expect a combination of the following steps during our recruitment process.
"I should never ask questions during an interview; it's all about them asking me."
Reality: Asking thoughtful questions about Sievo, team dynamics, structure, and the role demonstrates your interest and engagement. It also helps you gather essential information to determine if Sievo is the right fit for you – which is equally important.
"Interviewers only care about technical skills"
Reality: Soft skills such as communication, teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving are equally important at Sievo. We assign equal importance to these qualities because they contribute to a positive work environment and successful collaboration.
"I should always answer every question, even if I don't know the answer."
Reality: It's okay not to know the answer to every question. Being honest and admitting when you don't know something is better than trying to evade the question.
Turn this into an opportunity by expressing your willingness to learn more and engage in a discussion with the interviewers to further your understanding. An "intent to learn" attitude is always appreciated at Sievo.
"Interviewers have a fixed set of questions, and I should stick strictly to the answers I've prepared"
Reality: While preparation is important, interviews at Sievo can be dynamic, and interviewers may ask follow-up questions or explore different aspects of your experiences. It's essential to be adaptable and engage in a conversation rather than adhering rigidly to rehearsed responses.
What do we do?
Sievo is a Finnish-born SaaS company providing procurement analytics for large data-driven enterprises around the world.
What is procurement, and procurement analytics?
In simple terms, procurement is a process of buying goods and services. Large global enterprises normally have a Procurement team, just like IT or Finance.
Procurement teams are responsible for making decisions on what to buy, from who, how much, and on which terms. You can image that these decisions are crucial for business’s success and profitability.
That’s why procurement professionals are in need of procurement analytics to make decisions based on their own data. This is where Sievo comes in!
How does Sievo provide value?
We provide procurement analytics, e.g. Spend Analysis, by combining customers’ internal data with external data from 3rd party data providers.
This allows us to centralise procurement data in our solution and showcase a big picture with an option of drilling down to individual purchases.
What is procurement data?
Procurement data can come in different forms: from invoices, purchase orders, and contracts to supplier information, market & benchmark data.
Who are our customers?
We are proudly serving over 150+ global customers, like Levi’s, Unilever, MARS, Fortum and others. Learn more on our customer case studies here.
